JCTV is a young adult television network devoted to music videos (especially Christian pop music) owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. It's similar to MTV, but with a Christian-based focus.

JCTV combines music videos, youthful video jockeys, promotion of special Christian rock events, and news and documentaries about Christian bands and performers in an effort to establish popularity among Christian youth. JCTV also has numerous extreme sports shows that document extreme sports athletes and how their faith impacts their lives.

JCTV is currently available through various cable services nationwide as well as via digital multicasting in some US cities and all across north America on Glorystar DTH satellite. The network is also available via streaming video on their official website.

This and other Trinity networks are broadcast internationally free to air via satellites such as ABS1 to India and Middle East on KU Band, Intelsat 701 and DTH to Australia and New Zealand on Optus B3 and also to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East via Eutelsat (Hotbird 13°E) and Agila 2 satellite (both C-band and Ku-Band signal) in Asia and the Philippines.

Some JCTV programming can also be seen on The Christian Channel, a digital cable channel in Canada.

[edit] History of JCTV

JCTV began broadcasting in June 2003, for the kick-off celebration of TBN's 30th Anniversary in the same headquarters of TBN in Santa Ana, California, delivering all programmings worldwide, covering parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.

The channel was originally founded by Paul Crouch, Jr. and his son, Brandon Crouch with the intentions of airing new programs, new teen shows, and specials for the Christian youth of today, throughout the world. Its viewers, accordingly, consist mainly of devout and/or fundamentalist Evangelicals.
