TV for Mongolia

For nearly 10 years Eagle TV operated as the sole voice of independent journalism on television in Mongolia, airing Christian programming and generating more than 10,000 contacts for evangelism.

Now the new Eagle Broadcasting Company (EBC) will begin broadcasting on terrestrial channel 8 in Mongolia’s capital city of Ulaanbaatar Saturday, Oct. 22.

The Christian-owned company has been operating as a cable news network through the cooperation of SANSAR Cable TV since last January, delivering live news around the clock from Fox News, Associated Press and the Eagle TV studios, along with Christian programming.

Eagle TV’s live news format quickly became a favorite with SANSAR viewers. Now the Eagle TV live news operations will be available for all 1 million residents in Ulaanbaatar.

“This is an exciting moment for our staff and all who have loved Eagle TV for so long,” said EBC Managing Director Tom Terry. “When the former Eagle TV, owned by Mongolian Broadcasting Co., closed down in April 2003, many Mongolians were heartbroken at having lost independent news through television. . . . Now that the new Eagle TV is being placed on channel 8, more people will have access to truly independent news and information than ever before.”
