Some JCTV programming can also be seen on The Christian Channel, a digital cable channel in Canada.

History

JCTV began broadcasting in June 2003, for the kick-off celebration of TBN's 30th Anniversary in the same headquarters of TBN in Santa Ana, California, delivering all programmings worldwide, covering parts of North America, Europe, Asia, and South America.

The channel was originally founded by Paul Crouch, Jr. and his son, Brandon Crouch with the intentions of airing new programs, new teen shows, and specials for the Christian youth of today, throughout the world. Its viewers, accordingly, consist mainly of devout and/or fundamentalist Evangelicals.
