NRB Network Names NorthStar Studios as its Television Network Provider

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- The National Religious Broadcasters Association (NRB) has announced Nashville-based NorthStar Studios as the home of its newly launched television network.

With the launch of the NRB Network, NorthStar Studios is now providing Network Origination service for four full-time networks along with uplinking and transmission support for syndicators as well as turnkey studio and mobile production for clients nationally.

"Landing the NRB Network takes us a step closer in meeting our expansion goal in our Network Origination and Transmission support business," says Grant Barbre, President of NorthStar Studios. "Our goal is to provide the network and their programmers total turnkey production solutions where they can create great television productions, post them and then transmit them all from a single location here at NorthStar Studios."

The new network, which is broadcasting twenty-four hours a day on DIRECTV channel 378, features original and second-run value and faith-based programming targeting the Christian viewing community.

"Nashville is the center of the Christian music and publishing industries, so it made sense for us to locate the network here," says Troy Miller, NRB's Senior VP and COO. "The state-of-the-art broadcast and production facility that NorthStar Studios provides us is an added value of being located in Nashville."

The NRB Network is a non-commercial, public interest channel operating on the DIRECTV satellite system. The NRB Network Inc. is a 502(c)3 organization. The mission of the NRB Network is to provide educational programming with a unique focus on the teaching, values, and worldview of the historic Christian faith.

NorthStar Studios, a Nashville-based full-service television production, network origination and transmission facility, has seven television stages, satellite uplinks and two fully digital mobile production trucks with satellite uplinking capabilities. The 125,000-square-foot facility provides television and production service support nationally to the entertainment community, advertising and public relations agencies, and sports and news organizations.
