The Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN; legally Trinity Broadcasting of Texas, Inc.) is an international Christian-based broadcast television network[1][2] and the world's largest religious television network.[3] TBN was headquartered in Costa Mesa, California, until March 3, 2017, when it sold its highly visible office park, Trinity Christian City.[4] The broadcaster retained its studios in nearby Tustin.
Auxiliary studio facilities are located in Irving, Hendersonville, Gadsden, Decatur, Miami and Orlando, Tulsa and New York City. TBN has characterized itself as broadcasting programs hosted by a diverse group of ministries from Evangelical, traditional Protestant and Catholic denominations, non-profit charities, Messianic Jewish and other Christian media personalities.[5] TBN also offers a wide range of original programming, faith-based films, and political opinion commentary from various distributors.[6]
The TBN corporation owns and operates four broadcast networks in the United States—TBN, TBN Inspire, Positiv and Enlace—as well as a number of religious networks in other countries.[7] Matt Crouch has been TBN's president and head of operations since 2015.[8][9]
