Early History
God TV commenced broadcasting in the United Kingdom on 1 October 1995, initially as the Christian Channel Europe (CCE), and became Europe’s first daily Christian Network. It began in Rory & Wendy Alec's home in London, broadcasting one hour a day, but grew to seven hours, then to 24-hours covering the European continent.
In 1997 The Independent newspaper described Rory and Wendy Alec as "the new faces of religious broadcasting.” and the name of the network changed to The God Channel. In 2002 it became known as God TV and the network's broadcast headquarters moved to Israel. Since then the network has grown, and now broadcasts worldwide.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or history:
“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)
“Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.””
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
