Overview:
Desert Christian News was established in 2003 as a non-profit
corporation. We are a media corporation dedicated to using
all forms of media (print, television, radio, internet, etc.)
to focus on the positive things happening in the local Christian
Community and to expand the cause of Christ in the Coachella
Valley and beyond.
Newspaper:
The first monthly issue of Desert Christian News newspaper
was printed and distributed in May, 2004. The purpose of the
newspaper is to encourage communication and unity amongst
all Christians in the Desert Communities by providing a free
forum to share information, encouragement and educational
resources. We currently print and distribute 10,000 copies
per month through 200+ locations throughout the Coachella
Valley and High Desert.
Television:
In March 2006 Desert Christian News began producing a local
television program called Desert Christian News TV. This 1/2
hour program was a talk show format with local guests. Again
the purpose of this cable program was to raise the level of
awareness within the local community of the wonderful ministries
happening in our community and to focus on the positive things
happening in our midst. Desert Christian News TV is currently
a 1 hour program which is filmed weekly in our own facility
and includes ministry interviews, musical guests, family and
marriage segments and much more. The program airs 3 times
per week on UPN 13 on Sunday from 7-8AM and Tuesday &
Thursday on Time Warner Channel 17 from 6:30-7:30 PM. The
1/2 hour radio version airs on KHCS radio on Wednesdays at
5:30 PM
