Daystar Television Network
The Daystar Television Network is a small terrestrial and cable television network in the United States. It is also available on the DirecTV direct broadcast satellite service. The company offers religious programming 84 hours a week (12 noon to 12 midnight, seven days a week, in some areas). Daystar is headquartered in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex suburb of Bedford, Texas.
The Daystar network is composed of two VHF and 36 UHF television stations, which each broadcast all or part of Daystar's program lineup. The majority of Daystar's affiliate stations are located in the American South. The majority of Daystar's broadcasts are from groups and individuals aligned with various charismatic and Pentecostal movements.
Daystar's founders are Marcus Lamb and his wife, Joni Lamb.
Unlike the much larger Christian network, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Daystar and its founders have remained relatively free of criticism regarding its internal operations. However, Daystar airs programs from many of the same controversial televangelists, such as Benny Hinn and Kenneth Copeland, as does TBN. However, unlike TBN the Daystar network airs programs from folks such as Jerry Johnston. Daystar also broadcasts the weekly show Rejoice in the Lord from Pensacola Christian College, which is directly opposed to the charismatic movement as a whole.
