The Reinvention of the Christian Broadcasting Network

But CBN itself is entering the Trump administration in a new format. Unlike the staid, older-leaning 700 Club, its latest political show, Faith Nation, is more obviously geared to younger, social media-savvy viewers. It airs on Facebook Live, one of its on-camera anchors is a self-described social media expert, and the show frequently exhorts viewers to like or tweet their support. It represents a new era for CBN: one in which the network actively seeks to mirror and respond to the secular world's influencer-led, highly curated internet landscape.
