Smile of a Child TV (SoaC) is a Christian children's channel affiliated with Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) that offers programming 24 hours per day, seven days a week. It is the television arm of TBN's Smile of a Child ministry, created by TBN co-founder Jan Crouch.
It is carried on digital simulcast channels of TBN-owned stations, usually the fifth subchannel (for example, if TBN is on channel 17, then SoaC would be on 17.5). It can also be seen on the channel's website, and airs a day long block of programming Saturdays on TBN itself.
SoaC is available in the US on DirecTV and Dish Network and throughout North and Central America as a free to air channel on Galaxy 14 C-band, Galaxy 19 Ku band and available with Glorystar Christian Satellite. Internationally, SoaC is on the Hot Bird satellite in Europe, ABS1 satellite to Asia, India and the Middle East, and Agila 2 both C-band and Ku band signal in some areas of Asia and the Philippines.
Although it is primarily a Christian-based network, SoaC has acquired some secular programming from outside producers and taken programming from the public domain, such as The Funny Company, The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon, The Big Garage, and St. Bear's Dolls Hospital.
The network's butterfly logo is based on Jan Crouch's former initials, JWB (Janice Wendell Bethany).
