Hope Channel, Hope Church Channel, and Esperanza TV in North and Central America are now on satellite Galaxy 19 (G19). All three channels will remain on AMC-4 through the month of May to ease viewers’ transition, then the AMC-4 signal will be terminated.

 

“Praise the Lord! He has provided the funding and moved aside all legal obstacles that were blocking our desired move to G19,” says Brad Thorp, Hope Channel president.

 

“This news affects ONLY Hope Channel, Esperanza TV, and Hope Church Channel viewers in North and Central America watching exclusively on the AMC4 satellite. This news DOES NOT affect viewers watching on a Glorystar dual LNB system, online, or on DIRECTV channel 368,” adds Thorp.

 

People needing help repositioning their satellite dish or rescanning the channels on their receiver can call Hope Channel at 888-446-7388 and press option 2. Do-it-yourselfers can visit Hope Channel’s website and click on the news story about the satellite change to find several resources to guide their efforts.
