God TV vs BBC

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is the largest broadcasting organization in the world. The BBC has restrictions when it comes to godly programming so the Lord Himself had to raise up a new breed of broadcasters to reclaim the airwaves.

With limited resources, but obedient to that call, Rory & Wendy Alec started off from their kitchen table with one computer, one fax machine and one telephone. Things soon became desperate and their telephone line was cut because they could not pay the bill.

Rory even had to make his calls from a phone booth, with the traffic blaring in the background. Nevertheless, God’s plans could not be thwarted and after many challenges, a landmark contract was signed with Rupert Murdoch’s SKY television platform.

The Christian Channel Europe was born, broadcasting three hours each morning and as Europe’s first daily Christian channel, it immediately challenged the monopoly commercial broadcasters had on the viewing public.

Right from the start GOD TV has had a revolutionary approach, breaking down religious barriers and political correctness. A vast billboard campaign was instituted across London with the GOD logo making an impact on 200 buses and 300 billboards. ‘Breakfast with God’ and ‘God is on our side’ were some of the slogans.

The ministry continued to flourish with the launch of its own digital satellite receiver, ‘the GOD box,’ which enabled believers to access a wide range of free to air channels. More and more people in Europe were watching, but the Lord was by no means finished...

In January 2002, Rory & Wendy made the dramatic announcement that GOD TeleVision was to move its broadcast headquarters to Israel, where as a fulfillment of prophecy, God’s Word would be broadcast from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Since then the world has literally opened up to GOD TeleVision, which now broadcasts on a multi-satellite platform reaching almost half a billion people, in more than 200 nations and territories.

Also in 2002 the network launched into Africa and Asia and expanded into India. In 2003, Iraq and is now available throughout the Middle East, where its programming can be viewed in nations such as Iran, Syria, Jordan, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.

In 2004 the gateway to China began to open and has since then taken to the air, reaching Mainland China, Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines and Japan. In 2005 the network began broadcasting in Australasia, reaching across Australia and New Zealand.

Then, in 2006, after years of planning, the network finally launched in the USA. This was a major breakthrough as the network took to the air on America’s largest satellite platform, DIRECTV, reaching 17 million homes. Since then, the response has been overwhelming as American viewers have embraced the network as a fresh alternative to traditional Christian broadcasting.
