In Touch+, the trusted source of biblical teachings from In Touch Ministries, is expanding its international reach through a new partnership with Eutelsat‘s HOTBIRD Satellites. The agreement brings the faith-based programming of renowned minister Dr. Charles Stanley to viewers in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. The partnership makes In Touch+ available to more than 57 million direct-to-home households served by Eutelsat’s HOTBIRD satellite system at 13° East. Additional distribution is also made possible through cable operators, IPTV networks including Polsat, Sky and Nova, and other affiliated providers.
Apex Media, a leader in ministry media strategy, was instrumental in bringing the partnership together with Eutelsat. The massive broadcasting system distributes more than 900 channels, including nearly 600 in high definition, which also includes international news, entertainment and sports. Viewers will have access to more than 15,000-plus titles of content from Dr. Stanley and other like-minded faith leaders. Themes include practical faith, biblical principles, prayer, forgiveness, relationships and spiritual growth, each designed to strengthen one’s relationship with the Lord.
