Harvest TV

What Harvest TV does

Harvest Television Network Private Limited (Harvest TV) is a privately held Christian media broadcasting company incorporated in 2019 and headquartered in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. The company operates a multi-channel religious television network comprising five branded properties: the flagship Harvest TV channel, Harvest TV Keralam (Malayalam-language regional content), Harvest USA (content for the Indian Christian diaspora in the United States), Harvest Worship TV (24/7 worship and praise content), and NRB (National Religious Broadcasters convention coverage). The network also offers a prayer request service called 'We Pray for You' that allows viewers to submit prayer needs for pastoral support.

The underlying technology is a live streaming and webcasting platform distributing content across multiple delivery channels: DTH satellite television (Airtel DTH channel 872, Videocon 647, Tata Sky 1849), mobile applications on iOS and Android, Roku and Smart TV apps, a website streaming player, and YouTube live. The company also maintains an extensive on-demand archive of past live webcasts covering church conventions, conferences, funeral services, and religious events dating back to 2015. The platform is built on standard HLS streaming infrastructure (evidenced by the m3u8 live stream URL) and supported by third-party technology provider Infynith.

Harvest TV's business model is based primarily on viewer donations and contributions, consistent with nonprofit Christian broadcasting, supplemented by advertising and sponsorship from churches and Christian organizations. All content is free-to-air; no subscription pricing is disclosed. The customer base is split between Christian churches and ministries (IPC, Assemblies of God, Church of God, Sharon Fellowship and other evangelical congregations) who use the network to broadcast their events, and the Indian Christian diaspora in India, USA, UAE, and Kuwait who consume the programming. The company is family-governed with a board of three members and an advisory board of six regional and pastoral representatives.

Broad incumbents

• Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN): One of the world's largest Christian broadcast networks, distributing via satellite, cable, and digital globally. Comparable as a major global Christian broadcaster, but far larger and broader in audience scope than Harvest TV.
• EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network): Global Catholic television and streaming network distributed via satellite, cable, and apps. Comparable as a multi-platform faith broadcaster with international reach, though denominationally narrower and far larger than Harvest TV.
• Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN): US-based global Christian broadcaster operating cable/satellite channels and a major streaming platform. Comparable in mission and multi-platform Christian distribution model, but at a significantly larger scale and broader denominational scope.
• Daystar Television Network: US-based global Christian broadcaster carried on satellite, cable, and streaming platforms worldwide. Comparable as a multi-platform, donation-supported Christian network, but at substantially greater scale and broader audience than Harvest TV.
• God TV / GDN (Good News Television): International Christian broadcaster operating multiple channels via satellite and streaming, with worship-focused programming. Comparable in mission and worship-content focus, but operates globally across many languages versus Harvest's narrow regional focus.

Others

• NRB (National Religious Broadcasters): US-based association of Christian broadcasters that Harvest TV actively covers on its NRB channel. Not a direct competitor, but a key ecosystem partner and industry body that shapes the global Christian broadcasting landscape Harvest participates in.
