LLBN Launches App for Mobile Devices
Averaging 600 downloads per week, the new app allows
streaming of Loma Linda Broadcasting Network on all mobile devices making its
eight Christian channels more
accessible worldwide.
Loma Linda, Calif. – November 27, 2018
– Users of Android- or Apple-based devices including smartphones, iPhones,
iPads, tablets or notebooks can now download a free app from Loma Linda
Broadcasting Network (LLBN) that live streams its eight TV channels directly to
their device. Streaming via the app will bring LLBN’s multi-lingual programming
to a wider geographical audience than currently covered by legacy television, cable
and broadcast satellite providers.
“Until
now, people wanting to view LLBN where local TV providers didn’t offer it had
to resort to desktop computers, laptops or phones to watch via a web browser,” said
Ganim Hanna, Director and CEO, LLBN. “Depending on the internet service
provider’s (ISP) bandwidth capacity, streaming programs sometimes froze, dropped-out
or experienced other technical disruptions that negatively impacted the overall
user experience.”
He added, “Other viable distribution venues for LLBN include Roku Internet
TV or satellite provider Glorystar, but these are used primarily by the more tech-savvy.”
In contrast, viewing LLBN via the new app makes it easier to access the
network’s channels and programs with fewer technical issues due to its running
on the latest 4G LTE cellular platform.
Adds Hanna, “Nearly everybody has a mobile device. As long as there’s 4G
LTE service, you can now easily live stream our channels almost anywhere.”
In addition to its two English channels (His Word and His Light), LLBN
broadcasts in Arabic, Chinese, Korean, Latino and South Asian languages on
separate channels as well as Smart LifeStyle Television. All are available
around the clock seven days a week accessible through the app.
Concludes Hanna, “While LLBN is currently seen in 50 million homes
worldwide, the new app will expose even more people to the message of Jesus
Christ outside of traditional TV service with limited channel space. About 600
downloads per week are now occurring since each app became available in late
September. We look forward to spreading His Word through the expanding medium of personal mobile devices.”
The LLBN app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store, the official
app source for all Android operating systems. Apple device users can obtain it
from the App Store. The app is free on either mobile device platform.
LLBN is a non-profit, viewer-funded ministry with all donations tax
deductible under 501(c)3 regulations. Many LLBN studio operations and daily
working support are handled by volunteers of all ages and walks of life who
provide their time and services for free.
LLBN is in its 21st year of sharing Jesus Christ’s grace,
mercy and love as depicted in the Bible through the influential medium of
television. “And this gospel of the kingdom
will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations…” Matthew 24:14.
