GOD TV debuts in China (21.10.08)

Millions of people in China can now tune into a range of inspirational programmes 24-hours-a-day, courtesy of GOD TV.

The global Christian broadcaster recently launched the dedicated Greater China service which is broadcast directly from Jerusalem via two new satellites. The broadcast will provide Christian programming catered specifically to Chinese viewers and reach Mainland China, Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines and Japan.

"In 2004, we became the first English language Christian broadcaster in Hong Kong with a sizeable Chinese viewership, but we have always wanted to bring so much more to this region," said GOD TV founder and Chief Executive, Rory Alec. "Now, God has opened up Greater China to us by providing a literally unprecedented opening, which we believe is going to be one of the most significant outreaches in our history."

The new Greater China feed includes GOD TV's full line-up of international programming, with some programmes in Mandarin, including popular Bible-teacher, Joyce Meyer and the Alpha Course's Nicky Gumble.
