Christian Television Network, Inc. (CTN) is an American non-profitbroadcast television network of small owned-and-operated stations (O&O) that broadcasts religious programming. It is based in Largo, Florida (with a mailing address of Clearwater), and the flagship station is WCLF channel 22, which signed on the air in the Tampa Bay region in 1979. It is now available on DirecTV channel 376, Dish Network channel 262, and Glorystar channel 117. The channel was started to produce and broadcast programming to teach and encourage Christian living.[1] It was founded by Robert D'Andrea, who died in January 2022.
CTNi is also televangelism-based but with all programming in Spanish.
CTN Lifestyle includes secular syndicated programming (such as Small Town Big Deal, Positively Paula and Ron Hazelton's HouseCalls) along with some Christian talk shows (The 700 Club, AFA Focal Point), movies and Christian-themed entertainment programs.
