JCTV (Jesus Christ Television) is a young adult television network devoted to music videos, owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. It is similar to MTV, but with a Christian focus.

JCTV combines music videos, youthful video jockeys, promotion of special Christian rock events, and news and documentaries about Christian bands and performers in an effort to establish popularity among Christian youth. JCTV also has numerous extreme sports shows that document extreme sports athletes and how their faith impacts their lives. In addition to music-based and action sports programming, JCTV also airs other programming such as the discussion program Ask God, the game show Virtual Memory with Jamie Alexander and the religious sitcom Pastor Greg; JCTV also airs Christian movies, typically on Sunday evenings, Thursday and Friday afternoons and certain late nights during the week. JCTV airs "sneak preview" blocks of its programming on TBN on Friday and Saturday late nights.

JCTV is currently available through various cable services nationwide as well as via digital multicasting in some US cities and all across North and Central America on Glorystar with the K_u band Galaxy 19 satellite and on C-Band Galaxy 14 satellite. The network is also available via streaming video on their official website.

This and other Trinity networks are broadcast internationally free to air via satellites such as ABS1 to India and Middle East on K_u band, Intelsat 701 and DTH to Australia and New Zealand on Optus B3 and also to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East via Eutelsat (Hotbird 13°E) and Agila 2 satellite (both C-band and K_u band signal) in Asia and the Philippines.

Some JCTV programming can also be seen on Grace TV in Canada and on Trinity Broadcast Network Europe.

History
