Christian Broadcasting Network
The Christian Broadcasting Network, or CBN, is, as its name implies, a Christian television broadcasting network in the United States. Its headquarters and main studios are in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
CBN was founded by evangelist Pat Robertson in the early 1970s. In its early years evangelists Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker, who were briefly associated with the network, devised for it a religious variety program format that has been successfully used in religious broadcasting ever since. One of the mainstays of the network is "the 700 Club," Robertson's program using that same variety format, which has run from the 1970s through to the present.
CBN also has an international focus, producing local programs, from Solusi (Indonesia) to From Heart to Heart {Thailand). CBN India alone produces five weekly series. CBN has versions of the 700 Club aimed at Latin American (Club 700 Hoy) and British audiences (The 700 Club With Paul and Fiona) [1]. Altogether CBN has broadcast programs in over 70 languages.
