FAITH IS GOING DIGITAL
FAITH BROADCASTING NETWORK
EXPANDS INTO
200 MILLION HOMES
At the recent National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville TN, Ps André
Roebert signed a deal with Lightcast that will see Faith Broadcasting Network
digitally broadcast into 200 million homes.
Lightcast specializes in digital media distribution and are currently developing a
new mobile app for Faith Broadcasting. In addition to the mobile app, live stream-
ing as well as Video-on-Demand (VOD) options will become available via ROKU,
AppleTV, Android TV and AmazonFire from May 2016.
Faith Broadcasting Network is already broadcasting to approximately 50 million
homes via satellite distribution. This means that from May the Gospel will now
reach 250 million homes; as per broadcast viewership calculations, this number of
homes can easily be converted into roughly 750 million potential viewers! The harvest field is ripe and there are millions of people in
need of the good news of the gospel to set them free.
Faith Broadcasting Network is humbled to be a part of the Divine vision to reconnect the whole earth with God, and are hard at work
to fulfill the mission and purpose that drives the vision.
The reason Ps André decided to go the digital distribution method can partly be attributed to the fact that worldwide an increasing
number of people are favouring these methods as opposed to traditional TV. By broadcasting on both traditional TV as well as newer
digital distribution channels, the content on Faith Broadcasting Network can now maximize its viewership potential.
