Christian Television Network, Inc. (CTN) is a nonprofit television broadcaster in the United States, operating a network of smaller owned-and-operated stations that primarily deliver religious content. Its headquarters are located in Largo, Florida, with a mailing address in Clearwater. The network's main station is WCLF channel 22, serving the Tampa Bay region since its inception in 1979. Viewers can access CTN on DirecTV channel 376, Dish Network channel 262, and Glorystar channel 117. Established by Robert D'Andrea—who died in January 2022—CTN is dedicated to creating programming that promotes and instructs Christian values.
Program services
CTN provides three distinct channels:
- The primary CTN channel focuses largely on televangelism, supplemented by some alternative medicine infomercials.
- CTNi broadcasts comparable televangelism content entirely in the Spanish language.
- CTN Lifestyle offers a mix of secular syndicated series (such as Small Town Big Deal, Positively Paula, and Ron Hazelton's HouseCalls), alongside Christian talk programs (including The 700 Club and AFA Focal Point), faith-oriented movies, and inspirational entertainment.
Stations
All listed stations are owned and operated by CTN unless otherwise specified.
