History
In 1960, six superintendents from the Roman Catholic Dioceses of Brooklyn, Rockville Centre, Bridgeport, Newark and Jersey City, as well as the Archdiocese of New York, decided to use television as a means of education within their parochial schools. In 1965, production by the Brooklyn diocese began on educational and religious shows for Catholic schools in the area, under the name Instructional Television Associates (ITA). In 1966, the newly renamed Catholic Television Network (CTN) began broadcast from Bishop Ford Central Catholic High School in Brooklyn.[6] CTN still produces religious and educational material for schools.
The Prayer Channel was spun off from CTN in 1988 and was developed via an advisory group of people in church media and diocesan agencies. It began broadcasting as a daytime channel and gradually added weekends and nights. By 1990, it was broadcasting 24 hours a day.
Inspired by the call from Pope John Paul II for "New Evangelization" in the media, the network revamped its image, mission and name on Dec. 8, 2008, becoming New Evangelization Television.[7] The network’s goal has always been to focus on Brooklyn and Queens and to appeal to a diverse audience. In 2009, the channel launched Currents News.
