History
The network's sign-on occurred on November 23, 1986, after 2 years of planning and construction of a satellite uplink site in Thompsonville, Illinois. Initially focusing on satellite broadcasting for the United States, 3ABN has since taken on several affiliates, which broadcast directly into television markets on VHF and UHF stations and over 1400 cable TV systems worldwide. 3ABN's Worldwide Headquarters is located in West Frankfort, Illinois.
3ABN is the second-largest owner of Low Power TV stations (next to Trinity Broadcasting Network) in the U.S. In 2006 their broadcast outlets in the U.S. numbered over 100 stations, and they currently have several more construction permits. The network also has a large production center in Nizhny Novgorod. Russia, and has produced a wide variety of Russian language television and radio programming since 1993. The programs are aired throughout the Russian-speaking countries on approximately 150 television stations and several satellite channels.
In 1999 and 2000 3ABN expanded into radio and satellite television in the United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the world. Currently 3ABN is distributed around the world via 11 satellites, an IPTV service (www.moiptv.net), and through streaming video and audio on the Internet. The 3ABN Radio Network is growing rapidly in affiliates due to the FCC allowing for low power FM and AM stations in the United States.
On August 24, 2003, 3ABN launched a 24/7 Spanish and Portuguese Television Network called 3ABN Latino.
The ministry was co-founded by Danny Shelton, 54, with his wife at the time, Linda Shelton. Danny Shelton was also president of the network throughout most of its existence, and hosts the network's flagship program, 3ABN Today.
In April 2007 it was announced that Amazing Facts and 3ABN will be merging.[1][2] However, on August 2007, after several months of review, Amazing Facts announced they will not merge with 3ABN due to issues with structural dynamics.
Another change came in August 2007, Jim Gilley was selected as the new president of 3ABN. Gilley is described as a man with "vast experience in administration and in both personal and public evangelism."[3]
On January 1, 2009, 3ABN launched a 24/7 Christian children's television network called SonBeam Channel. It is on MOiPTV and the Internet and plans to be on satellite.
HDTV Broadcasts
3ABN HD, 3ABN Latino HD and SonBeam Channel HD will be the High-Definition Television simulcasts of 3ABN, 3ABN Latino and SonBeam Channel that will be launched in the United States and the world on January 5, 2010.
Controversies and criticism
Linda Shelton
In 2004 Linda Shelton was abruptly removed from 3ABN's board of directors, and her previous presence was erased from the network's programming, website, and sales inventory. There quickly grew a cloud of speculation around the divorce of founders Danny and Linda Shelton. Over the past few years, rumours spread that Linda was unfaithful in her marriage to Danny, and as a result was removed from the ministry and divorced. Linda has started a website asserting that she was not the unfaithful one and is requesting proof be provided showing her guilt or that her name be cleared.[4][5]
Criticism from Save3ABN dot org
Since Danny and Linda Shelton's divorce in June 2004, a website, Save3ABN dot org, came forward alleging various concerns and has drawn enough attention that a lawsuit has been filed.[6] The site, run by Gailon Joy and Bob Pickle, alleged infidelity, mishandling of funds, and sexual indiscretions. (see also [1].) After 3ABN asked a bankruptcy trustee to sell the domain name to the ministry, other domain names appeared, such as Save-3ABN dot com, with the same content as the original site.
Repercussions
Although 3ABN is a self supporting ministry and is not owned by the Seventh-day Adventist Church, the controversy from the Save3ABN dot org and surrounding the divorce has gained international attention[citation needed] of the world church leadership and has caused the President as well as the Chairman of the 3ABN board to address the issues[citation needed]. As a result of all the attention within the church, the leadership are conflicted and perhaps confused with how to deal with this[citation needed] since they have no authority in the matter. Conflicting statements of how 3ABN will be treated have come forward from top officials in the Seventh-day Adventist denomination[citation needed].
Removal from Sky Angel
3ABN had been removed from carriage on the Dominion Sky Angel DBS system which was available on the Dish Network platform. Although Sky Angel indicated it was due to technical limitations, 3ABN had a press release that the technical issue was resolved within two hours, however they were kept off for some time, for other, unknown reasons. After a successful write-in campaign, 3ABN is now available on Dish Network.
