Comcast customers in Indiana and Michigan can now watch the Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN).
According to Fort Wayne lay pastor, Ray Alexander, the expanded coverage gives them a potential to reach 1.2 million residents, including the large metro cities of Indiana and Michigan, was a dream in the making for some time.
In 2003, Alexander and Ken Marsh, a local elder chose and professional engineer, decided to start a low-powered radio station that would broadcast the gospel message throughout their community. After researching the process, they discovered it would cost $100,000.
While meeting with the owner of a full-powered radio station, Alexander was moved to switch gears and focus on full-powered stations. Once again, the steep price was a huge deterrent and so he and the seller decided to pray. Alexander was stunned when the seller of the full-powered station signed it over to them at no cost. From there they received donations of many items and services to renovate their new station.
With the new station up and running, Alexander conducted the broadcasting while Marsh worked behind the scenes as the station engineer. As time passed, the station’s footprint began to grow, and they moved from broadcasting over the radio airwaves to broadcasting on television stations.
Two weeks ago, the Comcast network announced to Alexander that they would provide space on their network to air 3ABN. “This rarely happens, said Alexander. “These are miracles that only God can do. We are just giving God the glory, honor, and praise.
“This is an era, in which cable companies are shrinking their content in order to make room for things like, video on demand and program that is more data-driven. So, to put on another channel with high-def capabilities is really unheard of.”
The following is a list of the new cities where 3ABN is now available on the Comcast network.
