The Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) was founded on January 11, 1960, by Pat Robertson, a Yale Law School graduate with a vision for Christian television. Robertson started CBN with a modest UHF television station in Portsmouth, Virginia, broadcasting live half-hour programs every night from 7:00 to 10:00 PM. The idea was to create a platform for Christian programming that could reach people with a message of hope from the Bible. Today, CBN is owned and operated as a nonprofit organization, with Gordon P. Robertson, Pat Robertson's son, serving as the CEO. Based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, CBN covers a wide range of topics including news, politics, entertainment, health, and faith-based content. The network's flagship program, The 700 Club, features a mix of news, interviews, and inspirational stories. CBN has expanded its reach globally, producing content in multiple languages and operating various humanitarian aid initiatives. The organization also runs CBN News, which covers national and international news from a Christian perspective. **One interesting fact**: Despite being primarily known for its television programming, CBN has ventured into animation. In 2011, they launched a newly rebooted version of Superbook, an animated Bible series that has been broadcast in various countries around the world.
