ABN Sat 1 Live Stream

ABN Sat 1 is the flagship channel of the Aramaic Broadcasting Network - a United States-based Christian satellite network whose Arabic branding, "the Aramaic channel," reflects the ancient language at the heart of its identity. Broadcasting Christian programming in Aramaic, Arabic and English, and carrying a family of specialized channels in languages from Farsi to Chinese, ABN serves Middle Eastern Christian communities and the global diaspora, and its channel also streams live online.

The network's scale is easy to miss from the outside: what looks like one channel is in fact a broadcasting operation with a dozen streams, a discipleship training library in six languages, and an audience that stretches from the ancient churches of the Middle East to their diaspora on every continent.

The Aramaic Broadcasting Network

ABN's channel family covers languages and regions with unusual thoroughness: the I AM Channel and Son of God channel carry the network's core Christian programming, alongside Arabic-language services, the Middle East channel, a Bible movies channel, a freedom-of-speech discussion channel, and regional streaming channels for China, Africa, India, Urdu-speaking audiences, Turkey and Afghanistan. The language list - English, Aramaic, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, Turkish, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Russian and more - maps the geography of Middle Eastern and South Asian Christianity, and the network's discipleship operation produces training material across it, from Arabic and English to Farsi, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Worship, Teaching and Debate

The flagship channel's schedule mixes the liturgical and the polemical: worship and teaching rooted in the Syriac Aramaic tradition of the ancient churches, sermons and Bible teaching in Arabic and English, Bible-based films, and the live discussion programs for which the network is best known - Arabic-language debates and dialogue programs on the claims of Christianity and Islam that draw large audiences across the Middle East. Cultural programming and music complete the schedule, and the whole operation streams live through the network's own player and video platform.

The Diaspora's Channel

ABN's audience is the Christian diaspora of the Middle East - Assyrian, Chaldean and Syriac communities whose liturgical language is Aramaic, Arab Christians of every tradition, and the converts and seekers the network's discussion programming addresses. Donations support the operation, mobile apps carry it, and the live stream puts the channel within reach of a scattered audience that has few other broadcasters in its own languages - a network built for a people whose language Jesus spoke, broadcasting from the United States to wherever that people now lives.
