Enlace TBN USA, also known as TBN Enlace or Enlace USA, headquartered in Tustin, California, is the United States version of the Spanish-language cable television network Enlace providing Christian programming to the Hispanic community.[1] The network, which works in a joint partnership with Trinity Broadcasting Network, strives to bring culturally-relevant, faith-based television to Hispanics of all age groups.[2]

The network's lineup consists of various inspirational and faith programs: church services, music videos, talk shows and children’s programs mainly made up of notable churches from Latin America, such as Claudio Freidzon of Argentina, Cash Luna of Guatemala, Americans Guillermo Maldonado of Miami, Florida, and Marcos Witt of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, among many others. Concerts and music videos are key components of this line up of programs featuring famous singes such as Jesus Adrian, Raza for Christ, Jennifer Salinas and Michael W. Smith. Most of the programming is actually produced in Latin America, with Enlace's main headquarters in San José, Costa Rica and TBN's broadcast facilities in Irving, Texas.[3] They also feature standard TBN preachers, such as Benny Hinn,[4]http://enlace.org/pro_esteEstudia_bennyHimm.aspx</ref> Rod Parsley, Joyce Meyer,[5] and John Hagee,[6] whose programs are translated into Spanish.[7]
On the air as early as 2002, Enlace TBN is currently available through various cable services nationwide, totally free on digital sub-channel X.4 in areas of the United States with a TBN DTV station, and all across North and Central America on Glorystar Christian Satellite, coming soon to DISH Network. The network is also available via streaming video and audio on their official website and at different speeds for dial-up and broadband connections. The streams can also be used externally in browsers and media players. As of April 2011, Enlace TBN is one of nine TBN channels that are featured with live real-time webcasts on the TBN Mobile App, developed by Trinet Internet Solutions, Inc., and available for free on iTunes for the Apple iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch.[8] EDGE, 3G or WiFi connection required for live broadcasts.[9]
On December 16, 2009, DirecTV in the United States added Enlace TBN on Channel 448, attaching it to many different English, Spanish and International packages. DirecTV has noted that special equipment such as a specially designed dish may be needed to receive Enlace TBN.[10]
