The Gospel Broadcasting Network (GBN) is an American Christian satellite broadcast network, which broadcasts 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
GBN is not an ecumenical network; it solely features programming which teaches Church of Christ doctrine and practices. Although organized as a separate legal entity, GBN is under the oversight of the elders of the Southhaven Church of Christ (Southaven, Mississippi), which serves as its sponsoring church.
The GBN headquarters are in Olive Branch, Mississippi. Programs are taped at the Olive Branch location, as well as in individual studios of local Church of Christ congregations located throughout the country. Notable offsite locations include Pulaski, Tennessee (Preaching the Gospel), Edmond, Oklahoma (In Search of the Lord's Way), Bedford, Texas (The Truth in Love), and Maxwell, Texas (World Video Bible School programming).
GBN was started by Barry Gilreath Sr. and began broadcasting in 2005.
Originally based in Ringgold, Georgia, GBN relocated to Olive Branch in 2011 (shortly upon Gilreath's passing) when the Southaven Church of Christ took over as its sponsoring church.
GBN transmits from a C-band Satellite (Galaxy-14), simulcasts over the Internet over GBNTV.org, through its own Roku channel, on Android and iOS devices, and over the air via both low-powered radio stations (individually owned by local Church of Christ congregations) and one low-powered television station (W29DM-D-29.1-Lewisburg, Tennessee). On April 27, 2011, GBN launched its public Roku channel. In addition to the live GBN broadcast, the channel also contains several archived programs. In June, 2012, the GBN Roku channel was one of the 10-highest rated Roku channels with 5 out of 5 possible stars.
