The Christian Broadcasting Network is best known for The 700 Club, a daily television program that is produced in front of a live studio in CBN’s broadcast facilities in Virginia Beach. On the air continuously since 1966, it is one of the longest-running programs in broadcast history. Hosted by Pat Robertson, Terry Meeuwsen, Gordon Robertson, and Kristi Watts with news anchor Lee Webb, The 700 Club is a mix of news and commentary, interviews, feature stories, and Christian ministry. Seen in 95 percent of the television markets across the United States, the program is carried on ABC Family Channel cable network, FamilyNet, Trinity Broadcasting Network, and numerous U.S. television stations and is seen daily by approximately one million viewers. WorldReach broadcasts, which include the international editions of The 700 Club, have been viewed in more than 70 foreign languages, can be seen in more than 200 countries, and are accessible throughout the year by more than 1.5 billion people around the world.
CBN also is one of the world ‘s leading providers of services to indigent persons. Last year alone, CBN Partners provided medical treatment to over 623,000 people; drilled clean, fresh water wells and cisterns for over 300,000 thirsty people; they ended the suffering of over 500 children through cleft palate surgery; provided hundreds of thousands of meals; paid the school tuition and gave supplies to thousands of young students; and most important of all, broadcast the gospel to over 238 countries in 38 languages to a projected audience of 294,000,000 million souls. CBN Partners were among the first to be on the scene helping our own Gulf Coast when it was rocked by disastrous hurricanes last year. They provided medicine, medical care; homes; shelter; food; water; repair, church grants, debris removal and clean-up for thousands of Americans.
The development of the acreage CBN has acquired over three decades near its headquarters and broadcasting center will provide a steady stream of income to finance its not for profit operations. Morse and Associates of Virginia Beach is the development consultant on the Blenheim project.
