CBN was founded by evangelist Pat Robertson in 1961 . He devised for it a religious variety program format that has been successfully used in religious broadcasting ever since. One of the mainstays of the network is "the '' 700 Club ''," the longest-running program using that same variety format. CBN also manages "Operation Blessing," an international relief and missionary effort. CBN also has international programming, producing local programs, from ''Solusi'' ( Indonesia ) to ''From Heart to Heart'' ( Thailand ). CBN India alone produces five weekly series. CBN has versions of the '' 700 Club '' aimed at Latin American (''Club 700 Hoy'') and British audiences (''The 700 Club With Paul and Fiona'') {Link without Title} . Altogether CBN has broadcast programs in over 70 languages. Originally a full fledged network, CBN was later renamed The Family Channel. Eventually "FAM" was sold to Fox and known as the "Fox Family Channel" . Fox later sold it to Disney, which renamed it "ABC Family" . CBN exists now as a production company for the 700 Club, and other syndicated shows such as "One Cubed," "Newswatch" and "Living the Life." EXTERNAL LINKS Official links
