On May 20, 1977, Garth and Tina Coonce facilitated the incorporation of Tri-State Christian Television (then known as Cincinnati Christian Communications) as a not-for-profit organization with a 501(c)(3) IRS status. Their obedience, commitment, and confidence in God secured and stabilized for TCT a position as an integral part of faith-based community television.

Since its beginning, TCT has embraced the local church and partnered with pastors to draw on community resources, thereby strengthening the local faith-based community. From this partnership has emerged a group that consists of hundreds of cross-denominational pastors who accept pastoral referrals and participate as panelists and/or hosts of local and international TCT-produced programs. TCT is indeed a family-oriented network broadcasting inspirational programs that speak to every member of the faith-based community.

Now broadcasting in over 170 nations, TCT recognizes the magnitude of viewer diversity. Programming format includes magazine, talk, interview, variety, music, and music videos. Viewers enjoy teaching, preaching, evangelism, health and fitness, youth, and children's programs. Some of the nation's most prominent pastors broadcast their church services on TCT. For more than 30 years, TCT's inspiring programming has been a staple in the faith-based community. Captivated by programming that speaks to all ages, our loyal and very responsive viewing audience consists of more than a billion people and continues to grow. Reaching and touching people with the message of faith will always be at the heart of TCT.
