Miracle Channel online - Television live

Miracle Channel Live Stream

Miracle Channel is Canada's first and only over-the-air Christian television station, broadcasting from Lethbridge, Alberta since 1996. Operated by MCA Media Group, the broadcaster reaches 6.1 million homes with a 24-hour schedule of teaching, worship, talk shows, family series and daily news.

Canada's First Christian Broadcaster

The station went on the air on 14 January 1996, after the CRTC granted a broadcasting licence to founders Dick and Joan Deweert in April 1995. Transmitting as CJIL-DT on virtual channel 17 - a call sign that stands for "Christ Jesus is Lord" - it began as a small signal serving southern Alberta and grew into a national service carried by cable and satellite providers since 2000. Leon Fontaine, senior pastor of Springs Church, led the channel as CEO for 12 years until his passing in November 2022, and since August 2023 the station has been led by his son-in-law Jeremy Prest.

Thrive and the Next Generation of the Fontaine Family

The flagship in-house production is Thrive, a live weekday show at 11am Mountain Time hosted by the next generation of the Fontaine family, among them CEO Jeremy Prest and Zach Fontaine. Episodes blend encouraging teaching, conversations over coffee and special guests, from pastors and authors to the casts of new faith-based films. Zach Fontaine also fronts Springs Church with Zach Fontaine, which brings services from one of Canada's largest churches into the weekly schedule.

Teaching and Ministry Programs

Homegrown formats sit alongside world-renowned ministries on the schedule: Gospel Truth with Andrew Wommack, Turning Point with Dr. David Jeremiah, Joseph Prince, Enjoying Everyday Life with Joyce Meyer, Joel Osteen and InTouch with Dr. Charles Stanley. Series from the American Trinity Broadcasting Network such as Praise and Better Together share the airtime with Canadian talk staples like 100 Huntley Street and 700 Club Canada.

Original Shows and Bridge City News

Original productions include All In, in which Eden Shimoda offers practical tools for living out faith, Counter Culture with David Craig on faith, culture and politics through the lens of Scripture, and The Spirit Contemporary Life, built on the teachings of Leon Fontaine. Since 2017 the station has also produced Bridge City News, a daily newscast covering Lethbridge, southern Alberta and national stories from a grassroots perspective, while the Canadian Church Collective adds teaching from pastors across the country. Weekend mornings are reserved for children's series such as Dusty's Neighbourhood, Saturday evenings for family movies, and programs like The Gaither Gospel Hour carry southern gospel music into the schedule.

Beyond its Alberta transmitters, Miracle Channel's round-the-clock broadcast streams live online, carrying Thrive every weekday, church services and the channel's full lineup of ministry programs to viewers across Canada and around the world.
