Revelation TV is a UK Christian television channel started by Howard and Lesley Conder in 2003; the channel broadcasts on Freesat channel 692, Freeview HD channel 250, Sky channel 581, and the Roku box and is also available worldwide on the internet.
Howard Conder (an ex-Jehovah's Witness) and his wife Lesley began the TV station by forming a private company and remortgaging their home to put their own money into it.
As of 2012 Revelation TV has now a permanent television studio base in Spain. An underground car park space was converted into a new state-of-the art television studio, where a large amount of programmes now transmits from there, e.g. Voice in the Wilderness, Late Show, Q & A show etc.
Formerly, channels like Revelation TV which operate from the UK were unable to ask for funds on-air, due to Ofcom restrictions. With the lifting of these restrictions, this is no longer the case and Revelation TV can now ask for funds on air.
Another channel, Genesis TV, was formerly broadcast on Sky channel 592. It used to play much of the same content from RMusicTV, and a music show, The One to One Show, produced and hosted by Presenter and Gospel Personality, Michael Owusu. The channel made international news headlines in 2010 when a prankster whose YouTube name is 'Raepmykipz', tricked the presenter to read out the opening lyrics to the 1970s/'80's sitcom- Diff'rent Strokes, followed by an e-mail containing the plot details from Star Wars and referring to a Nigerian man named Ben Kenobi who had battled with dark forces.
On 22 March 2010, Genesis TV allowed a debate between the leader of the British National Party, Nick Griffin and the leader of the Christian Party, George Hargreaves, as the two were competing against each other for the Barking constituency in the 2010 General election. Genesis TV was closed down and merged with Revelation TV on 1 April 2010. Revelation TV later moved to Sky channel 581 after the slot was given up by GOD TV.
