BYU Television (also known as BYU TV) is a cable/satellite television channel operated by Brigham Young University. BYU Television content originates from the University and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
It is sometimes confused with KBYU-TV, a PBS member station in Provo, Utah also owned by BYU, but the two stations do not share the same schedule. While KBYU-TV is a local channel for the Salt Lake area, BYU TV is broadcast nationwide via Dish Network and DirecTV, and worldwide at BYUTV.org.

[edit] Audience
With a worldwide reach, BYU Television seeks to bring high-quality programming to viewers across the globe. Available through direct satellite broadcast services (for example, Dish and DirecTV), cable carriers, the Church satellite system, and Internet streaming, the channel spans the world.
The signal is currently available to more than 40 million cable and DTH (direct-to-home) satellite subscribers in the United States alone. It is available on cable in Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Montana, California, Washington, Michigan, and Wyoming. BYU Television is working to add additional cable carriers across the United States. The channel can also be found on the Dish Network and DirecTV satellite services. BYU Television has recently been streaming content over the internet through the web site http://www.byu.tv, which is powered by Move Networks.
The intended audiences of BYU Television are alumni and friends of BYU, Church members, and others who are interested in the beliefs and values of the Church and its educational institutions.

The content carried on BYU Television comes primarily from campuses of Brigham Young University (BYU-Provo, BYU-Idaho, and BYU-Hawaii) and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Additional content is provided by independent producers and Bonneville International (including KSL-TV).
