The Daystar (short: Daystar ) is the world's second largest Christian television station and headquartered near Dallas in Bedford ( Texas ). Daystar founders are Marcus Lamb (managing director) and his wife, Joni Lamb (deputy).
General
The majority of Daystar affiliated channels are in the American South. Daystar is available worldwide and is becoming more and more popular among German Christians as the station has also been broadcasting via Astra since the beginning of 2007. In the USA, Daystar can also be received in cable networks and partly terrestrially. Although the station enters into numerous cooperations within its network, it has no direct connection to Trinita TV , a German-language broadcaster that is being founded, as was sometimes suspected in the press at the beginning of 2007. Daystar occupied a transponder on the Astra satellite and, alongside God TV, is the second English-language Christian television broadcaster to broadcast via this satellite. Furthermore, Daystar was broadcast from the end of March 2009 to December 31, 2011 in the digital cable network of Unitymedia in Hesse and North Rhine-Westphalia. Distribution via Unitymedia was discontinued on December 31, 2011, as the broadcaster terminated the feed-in contract.
program
The majority of Daystar broadcasts are delivered by groups and individuals from different churches of the charismatic movement and Pentecostal churches. Daystar broadcasts sermons from controversial television evangelists such as Benny Hinn , Joyce Meyer and Kenneth Copeland . In addition, sermons are published by David Reagan, Zola Levitt, Kerry Shook, Sid Roth, Jack Graham, Hal Lindsey and the Bible School in Pensacola Rejoice in the Lord , who do not belong to the charismatic movement.
criticism
Daystar was investigated by the American Federal Communications Commission . It was suspected that Daystar was selling airtime to organizations that are not licensed as non-commercial or educational in violation of the FCC rules of its own license. The investigation began in 2003. On December 22, 2008, the FCC and Daystar entered into an agreement whereby Daystar will voluntarily pay a $ 17,500 fine and Daystar will enter into a negotiated self-regulatory process to comply with its licensing requirements.
Daystar was also sued by Sky Angel in a lawsuit between EchoStar and Sky Angel , who wanted to use Daystar's own transmitters.

Individual evidence
- ↑ Trinita TV had to postpone the start of broadcasting several times due to unsecured funding and published several open letters in December 2006, in which a "spiritual" connection was granted, a financial dependency was denied. The information is no longer available on the website www.trinitatv.de ( Memento of February 10, 2008 in the Internet Archive ). The founder of Trinita worked for the American broadcaster Trinity network and there apparently also in cooperation with Daystar.
