Sky Angel U.S. LLC. describes itself as a "Christian-owned and operated multi-channel television service specializing in Christian and family-friendly TV and radio programming.[1]"
With a faith-based channel lineup that currently includes 31 television channels and 20 radio channels, Sky Angel offers programming options from a wide range of Christian providers that include evangelical, fundamentalist, pentecostal, and conservative Protestant perspectives[citation needed] in addition to five channels offering Roman Catholic content. [2]
The company's corporate headquarters is located in Naples, Florida.[1] The company also has a Cleveland, Tennessee location where programming, engineering and network operations reside.
Sky Angel has received a seal of approval by the Parents Television Council for providing "family-friendly television programming.[3]"
On April 1, 2008, Sky Angel ceased its satellite television broadcasting and began offering its subscription service programming through a broadband internet connection (Cable or DSL) and small set-top box. Commonly known as IPTV, the technology does not require an outside dish or antenna for subscribers to view programming. Sky Angel currently uses NeuLion as its IPTV platform provider.[4]
The service is currently available in the 50 United States and some U.S. territories including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.[5] The company plans to expand globally in the future.[5].
