There is good news for those living in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene valley. Starting May 2, a new television broadcast is available for anyone with a digital antenna. The new broadcast is a result of a recent purchase of He’s Alive Broadcasting (KHBA) by Good News Broadcasting Network (GNBN), based in Scottsdale, Arizona. 

“This is fantastic news for anyone living in the Spokane area,” says Dustin Jones, MA, director of communications for Upper Columbia Conference. “Our community will continue to hear a message of hope and wholeness from a variety of Adventist content creators.”

The deal has been in the works for more than a year following the decision of the board of directors of He’s Alive Broadcasting to sell off its assets in 2023. As a board member, Jones took on the responsibility of facilitating the sale and contacted several Adventist broadcasting networks to see if there was any interest in purchasing He’s Alive Broadcasting. 

“After a discussion with Luke Skelton, president of GNBN, I knew that we had found a partner that could bring fresh vision and content into the Adventist broadcast in the Spokane area,” says Jones. “I am very excited about the future of GNBN in this region.”

Good News Broadcasting Network has grown from a single English television channel broadcasting in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 to 4 channels (English, Spanish, Children’s, and Nature/Music) broadcasting on 14 television stations in 4 states. These communities have a total population size of more than 11 million people. 

The Network delivers a balanced variety of the highest quality compelling Bible-based Christian programs for all ages, that inspires vibrant physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health, leading viewers to a personal, saving relationship with the loving Savior, and further encouraging continued spiritual growth and Christian service.

“Based on our analysis over the last 5 years, churches in areas where we broadcast experience a considerable increase in souls being saved due to the ministry,” says Skelton. “Furthermore, viewers are more likely to become strong Christians who understand the Bible, want to become active in their church and helping their community, and they want to share their faith with others. It is exciting to be impacting the lives of so many in our communities!”

The broadcast in the Spokane region will include Good News TV, Good News TV Latino, Good News TV Kids and Good News TV Music. For more information on this new outreach, please see www.gnbn.com.
