CBC History
Christian
Broadcasting Channel (CBC) began as a vision in the heart of a
Christian
couple, Mr. Frank Ottesen (a Norwegian) and Mrs. Nelly Ottesen
(a Filipina). After eight years of preparation both in the spiritual and in the natural,
the couple, together with their six years old son, came to
Cagayan de Oro City,
Philippines in 1996, and settled in a rented house.
Mr. Ottesen saw a great possibility
of establishing a Christian television
station utilizing the
rented house, since it was only meters away from the
cable TV network. With the
assistance of some brothers and sisters who shared
the same burden of putting up Christian programs on television, the first
Christian television station was launched publicly on the air. Named originally
as Asian Christian Broadcasting Channel Network (ACBN), it performed its first
test broadcast in May
1997, in Cagayan de Oro City. Later the same year, the
name was changed to Christian Broadcasting
Channel (CBC) up to
the
present, and now it airs international as well as local programs.
Moved by the call of the Lord, the
organizational structure was established
and the Board of Trustees registered CBC with the Philippines Securities and
Exchange
Commission (a government entity) as a foundation on May 23,2000.
Under the new name which is
Christian Broadcasting Channel Foundation,
Incorporated (CBCFI), this media ministry has been in operation 24 hours
daily on cable TV.
CBCFI is a government-registered, non-denominational, Christian
evangelical-oriented foundation, with a vision of reaching Cagayan de
Oro,
Mindanao, Philippines, and
some parts of Asia, with God’s Word through
television and radio.
