MANASSAS, Va., Jan. 21, 2014 /Christian Newswire/ -- NRB Network, one of the nation's leading Christian educational television networks, announced today a milestone as it surpassed 40 million homes this month - about eight years after its launch.

On December 21, 2005, NRB Network launched on DIRECTV to about 14 million households. Today, the network is seen on DIRECTV channel 378, on SkyAngel channel 181, and on select local affiliates.

Founded by the National Religious Broadcasters, NRB Network airs independently-produced Christian television programs in various formats including teaching, talk, news, dramas, reality, documentaries, and more. Topics are equally diverse, with shows about cooking, financial education, fitness, public policy, apologetics, music, sports, travel, science, and history - all embracing Christian values. Additionally, NRB Network airs animated programs for children, music and entertainment for teens, women's programs, devotionals, Bible studies, and Sunday ministries.
