What is the NRB Network? From Wikipedia:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRB_Network

The NRB Network is an evangelical Christian
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelical_Christian> cable channel
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_channel> run by the National
Religious Broadcasters
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Religious_Broadcasters> , a
national organization representing televangelists
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Televangelism> and Christian-themed media
outlets. While the NRB organization is located in Manassas, Virginia
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manassas%2C_Virginia> , the channel's
corporate headquarters is located in Nashville, Tennessee
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville%2C_Tennessee> . Created in 2005
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005> , the network can only be seen on a
DirecTV <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirecTV> cable package. Despite
this restriction, the channel boasts an audience of up to 15 million
viewers nationwide.

Programming

Like the NRB organization itself, the programming on the NRB Network
reflects on a belief in conservative
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative> fundamentalist
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalist> Christianity
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity> , particularly Protestantism
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism> and evangelicalism
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism> . Conservative,
partially-political programming includes the American News Network and
The Coral Ridge Hour <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Coral_Ridge_Hour>
with D. James Kennedy <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._James_Kennedy> .
Weekend programming includes outdoors
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outdoors> -type shows such as Christian
Angler and Spiritual Outdoor Adventures. The Cristian personalities and
programs offered, of course, are all members of the National Religious
Broadcasters.

The NRB Network also broadcasts much programming produced by Pat
Robertson <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Robertson> 's Christian
Broadcasting Network
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Broadcasting_Network> or an
organization connected to his television ministry. The channel
broadcasts Robertson's 700 Club <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/700_Club>
, as well as CBN's evening newscasts, CBN NewsWatch and Christian World
News, as well as the talk show <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_show>
Living the Life and the music video show One Cubed. Also seen is Jay
Sekulow <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Sekulow> , the head of
Robertson's American Center for Law and Justice
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Center_for_Law_and_Justice> , on
the ACLJ This Week radio/TV simulcast. The NRB Network also shows
programming produced by students at Robertson's Regent University
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regent_University> . The NRB Network also
borrows programming from the equally conservative FamilyNet
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FamilyNet> .
