DALLAS, Oct. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Daystar, the fastest-growing and one of the two largest Christian television networks in the world, is now available on Glorystar Christian Satellite, Time Warner, Bright House and Comcast digital cable systems throughout the U.S., as well as New York City's Cablevision. Through this expansion, Daystar original programming, including "Celebration," "Joni," "Gospel Music Showcase" and "Check the Sound," will now be available to 17 million more homes across the country.

"These partnerships will allow Daystar to share the Gospel with an even larger audience," said Daystar Founder and CEO Marcus Lamb. "Our goal is to continue to reach far and wide to make the greatest impact possible for the Kingdom."

Daystar's domestic audience has grown from 63 million to 80 million homes this year alone. The network has ownership of over 70 U.S. stations with 21 of those stations in the top 30 television markets.

Globally, Daystar broadcasts to over 200 countries and 525 million households worldwide. It is also the first Christian television network to broadcast 24 hours a day, seven days a week into the Nation of Israel.

Daystar broadcasts on Galaxy 19 satellite, which covers all of the United States, Canada, Mexico and most of the Caribbean. In addition, Daystar is available nationally on DISH Network (channel 263) and DirecTV (channel 369). Daystar is a free-to-air (FTA) channel with no encryption on the signal allowing viewers to receive the channel without paying any monthly subscription fees.

"We are globally-minded and want to provide ways for viewers of all ages and in all locations to enjoy Daystar's Christian programming," Lamb said.
