Operations
Sky Angel operates a variety of faith and family television services—CEO Rob Johnson described its lineup as "programming that the entire family can enjoy together." The company's corporate headquarters is located in Naples, Florida. The company also has a Cleveland, Tennessee location where engineering and network operations reside and an Ooltewah, TN location where programming and customer service is handled.
Sky Angel was originally established as a direct-broadcast satellite service with more than 30 channels in its lineup. In 2008, Sky Angel announced that it would begin to phase out its satellite services in favor of transitioning its customers to a new IPTV-based service. Developed with hardware and software from NeuLion, the new service would offer additional features such as an increased channel capacity, support for DVRs, and the ability for Sky Angel to offer internet and mobile television services through the platform.
In the summer of 2012 Sky Angel upgraded its TV platform to offer new features such as channel rewind of live programming and adaptive streaming to increase the quality of the picture and improve the viewer experience. They also launched an international service available exclusively online by logging into the Sky Angel Website called Sky Angel WebTV. In 2012, Sky Angel launched an additional online streaming service for iPad customers across the globe. Together the iPad and WebTV services are known as Sky Angel Faith Everywhere.

Famous quotes containing the word operations:
“There is a patent office at the seat of government of the universe, whose managers are as much interested in the dispersion of seeds as anybody at Washington can be, and their operations are infinitely more extensive and regular.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A sociosphere of contact, control, persuasion and dissuasion, of exhibitions of inhibitions in massive or homeopathic doses...: this is obscenity. All structures turned inside out and exhibited, all operations rendered visible. In America this goes all the way from the bewildering network of aerial telephone and electric wires ... to the concrete multiplication of all the bodily functions in the home, the litany of ingredients on the tiniest can of food, the exhibition of income or IQ.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
