Day of Discovery’s four decades of programming makes it one of the longest continually running Christian broadcasts in US television history. Day of Discovery first aired on May 5, 1968 as a television ministry of Radio Bible Class (now known as RBC Ministries).

In its early years, the program was shot on location at Cypress Gardens, Florida. Along with inspirational music, it featured the Bible teaching of Richard De Haan, son of RBC’s founder Dr. M. R. De Haan, as well as other associate teachers.

Today, Mart De Haan, the son of Richard De Haan, is the frequent host for many Day of Discovery programs.
