Five decades after its first rented broadcast, Trinity Broadcasting Network describes itself as reaching about 5,000,000 weekly viewer households in the United States alone, a domestic audience the network states exceeds its nearest religious broadcasting competitors combined, placing it among the largest television networks of any kind operating in the country, religious or secular.
TBN's programming schedule carries a wide range of Christian content, including preaching drawn from across Pentecostal, charismatic and Word of Faith traditions, alongside its own original productions, making it one of the principal channels through which prosperity gospel and Word of Faith teaching reaches a national television audience today, in a direct institutional line from the network the Crouches and the Bakkers built from a single rented station in 1973.
Leadership of the network passed within the Crouch family following Paul Crouch's death in 2013 and Jan Crouch's death in 2016, and the network continues to operate its original Santa Ana area facilities alongside a national and international satellite and cable footprint built up over five decades of continuous broadcasting since that first rented UHF slot in 1973.
