SHUBHSANDESH Television
The latest addition to the family of entities of Good News Channel is SHUBHSANDESH Television recently approved by the Govt. which is a 24 hours satellite channel dedicated to the promotion of Christian values and communication of Gospel among the Hindi speaking people. Hindi being the largest spoken language in India and in the absence of any whole time exclusive Christian channel of standing in Hindi, SHUBHSANDESH is poised to reach 75% of the Indian population and also touch the huge Hindi speaking diaspora scattered all across the globe. The channel is being uplinked to INTELSAT-IS 10 which transmits the signals on wide beam to more than 120 countries over Asia, Africa, Middle East, and Australia across the globe. It is hoped that with the support and back-up from all denominations and the entire spectrum of Christian community, SHUBHSANDESH with its innovative programmes is set to make a mark and impact the viewers. Our vision and mission being ''Reach the Gospel to the unreached'' we pledge to make best use of this God gifted tool for expansion of the Lord's Kingdom.
