The Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN) is a Christian satellite and internet-based television network, headquartered in the Memphis suburb of Olive Branch, Mississippi.
Unlike major Christian networks TBN and Daystar, GBN is not ecumenical; it features only programs based on mainstream Church of Christ beliefs (and although a legally separate entity it is governed by the elders of the Southaven (MS) Church of Christ). Also unlike TBN and Daystar, GBN does not do on-air solicitations for funds (such as telethons or pledge drives); in fact several of its personalities have openly said that one will never hear a plea for money on GBN, and further its website (on its donation page) says that "GBN is funded entirely by donations that are given by congregations and members of churches of Christ. We never appeal for donations in our broadcasts and never ask our viewers for money."
The network operates on the Galaxy-14 C-band satellite, via Android, iOS, and Roku, via the internet, as well as on several low-powered radio stations and rural cable channels, mainly in the American South where the Churches of Christ are the strongest.
