There's good news for those living in the Spokane and Coeur d’Alene valleys. Since May 2, 2025, a new television broadcast is available for anyone with a digital antenna. The new broadcast is the result of a recent purchase of He’s Alive Broadcasting by Good News Broadcasting Network based in Scottsdale, Arizona.
“This is fantastic news for anyone living in the Spokane area,” said Dustin Jones, Upper Columbia Conference communications director. “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 He’s Alive Broadcasting board of directors 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, GNBN president, I knew we had found a partner that could bring fresh vision and content into the Adventist broadcast in the Spokane area,” said Jones. “I am very excited about the future of GNBN in this region.”
GNBN has grown from a single English television channel broadcasting in Phoenix, Arizona, in 2009 to four channels — English, Spanish, children’s and nature/music — broadcasting on 14 television stations in four states. These communities have a total population size of more than 11 million people.
GNBN delivers a balanced variety of the highest-quality compelling Bible-based Christian programs for all ages that inspire vibrant physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. It leads viewers to a personal, saving relationship with the loving Savior, and further encourages continued spiritual growth and Christian service.
“Based on our analysis over the last five years, churches in areas where we broadcast experience a considerable increase in souls being saved due to the ministry,” said Skelton. "Furthermore, viewers are more likely to become strong Christians who understand the Bible, want to become active in their church and help their community. They want to share their faith with others. It's 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 gnbn.com.
