MEDIA ADVISORY, May 12 /Christian Newswire/ -- Sky Angel joins the American Family Association in their longtime tradition of reporting news and commentary from a Christian perspective with the launch of a new TV channel -- The AFA Channel. The AFA Channel features the latest breaking stories from across the United States and around the world, along with news of the challenges facing Christians in today's society. Whether it's a story about prayer in public schools, workplace restrictions on Christians or battles for biblical truth within our denominations, the AFA Channel will share what the newsmakers are saying.

The AFA Channel is available as part of the "Faith Package" to Sky Angel subscribers on their nationwide television service on Channel 114. Prior to the introduction of this television channel, audio newscasts, news articles and opinion columns were available primarily through the AFA news divisions website, www.onenewsnow.com.

"Our subscribers want to hear news and commentary on important stories that line up with their moral beliefs and the AFA Channel provides this perspective. It's an important addition to our Faith Package, which offers more than 30 Christian television channels (plus 20 radio channels) for just $14.99 per month. We believe our subscribers will benefit from hearing AFA's news and feature stories as we seek to provide the most complete lineup of inspiring and faith-building programming available today," says Tom Scott, Sky Angel’s President & COO.

"Since 1977 American Family Association ("AFA") has used radio, publications and the Internet to motivate Christians to act on their Biblical values. AFA is now cooperating with Sky Angel to launch the American Family Channel, which we pray will be even more effective to inform and equip American Christians. Over the years we have had great respect for the integrity and commitment to excellence exhibited by Sky Angel. We pray that the AFA Channel will be a trusted source of information that viewers will come back to time and time again," said Don Wildmon, Founder and Chairman of AFA.

Sky Angel offers subscribers over 75 television and radio channels of faith-based and family-friendly channels, with entertainment, educational, sports and news programming. Sky Angel requires no dish or antenna, is completely compatible with current TV service, installs easily and includes value-added features like 48-hour playback on all Faith-based television channels plus an ever-growing Video-On-Demand library with thousands of free and fee-based selections.
