NEW YORK, Aug. 24 /Christian Newswire/ -- Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN), the world's largest religious broadcaster and America's most watched faith channel, announced that its flagship station is now being broadcast on Cablevision throughout greater New York City and New Jersey.
"We are excited to welcome nearly three million new households to our TBN viewing family," said Paul Crouch Jr., TBN's Chief of Staff. "Cablevision is one of America's largest cable systems, and through our partnership with them we are now able to provide TBN's 24-hour schedule of faith and family-friendly programming to New York City and Long Island, as well as to New Jersey communities like Elizabeth, Paterson, Oakland, Bergen, Newark, and many others."
Bob Higley, TBN's vice president for cable and satellite relations, said that the network had been working diligently for many years to extend TBN's reach throughout greater New York City and New Jersey. "TBN is an anchor of the faith and family line-up of nearly every cable provider nationwide," said Higley, "so we're happy to have found a perfect venue through Cablevision to extend our reach throughout one of the most diverse geographic areas in the U.S."
Higley noted that in addition to Cablevision, TBN is available throughout the New York City area through Time Warner Cable, Verizon FiOS and RCN in New York, Comcast Cable in New Jersey, as well as through DirecTV and DISH.
