SALEM MEDIA VENTURES INTO TELEVISION WITH
TBN DEAL
Salem Media Group, Inc., (NASDAQ: SALM) today announced it is
expanding to include the world of TV with a deal to air Salem Radio
Network’s nationally-syndicated radio program The Eric
Metaxas Radio Show as a program adapted for television on the
Trinity Broadcasting Network. The television show will be a
half-hour best-of program that will air Fridays at 6:00 p.m. ET
beginning May 17 and will be repeated every Sunday at 10:30 p.m.
ET.
The deal is unprecedented for both TBN and Salem.
“TBN has proven to be a great partner in this unique venture,”
said Salem Broadcast President Dave Santrella. “We are delighted to
see this show develop into a regular weekend program seen all
across the country on the TBN cable platform.”
TBN President Matt Crouch said the addition of Metaxas brings a
unique depth and flair to TBN’s programming lineup. “Eric’s
longstanding reputation as a man of both faith and intellect is a
perfect fit for TBN’s growing broadcast team of thought and faith
leaders,” he said. “We’re excited to introduce The Eric Metaxas
Radio Show to our weekend viewers.”
“Eric is truly a gifted interviewer, with a unique knack for
getting people to say things they might not say to anybody else,”
said SRN Senior Vice President Phil Boyce. “We are delighted to see
some of those interviews reach an even bigger audience through
TBN’s incredible platform where more people will get a chance to
enjoy Eric’s wit, wisdom, and unique personality.”
Metaxas has been hosting his radio show for SRN since 2015, and
in November of 2018 moved the radio show to TBN’s Manhattan
studios. Metaxas will continue to do his daily radio program on
over 300 SRN affiliates. Metaxas is also an international
bestselling author—with his book Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr,
Prophet, Spy selling over 1.3 million copies—along with other books
like Miracles: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How They Can
Change Your Life; Martin Luther: The Man who Rediscovered God and
Changed the World, and Donald Drains the Swamp, from Salem’s sister
company, Regnery Publishing.
