On January 1, 2009, 3ABN will launch the SonBeam™ channel via high-speed Internet. With a target audience of children 12 and under, SonBeam will bring Christ-centered children's programming 24-hours a day to the world with the same high-quality standards, and the same consistent message.

The SonBeam channel will initially be offered only through high-speed Internet on the MOPCWeb™ website and also by MOIPTV™, a set top box which delivers a high-quality TV picture, without the use of a computer. Although relatively new, the Internet Protocol TV (IPTV) idea is catching on quickly across the United States and the world as an alternative to cumbersome satellite dishes and regulations.

"We're very excited about this opportunity. The greatest way to reach the whole family is through the kids," says Jim Gilley, 3ABN's president.

Mollie Steenson, 3ABN's vice president agrees. "We believe that Jesus Christ will be pleased as we bring these precious children to Him."
