Now on TV: The Exchange
If you follow me on Twitter or keep up with this blog with any regularity, you know I host a weekly web program called The Exchange, which also happens to be the name of this blog. The Exchange has changed shape over the last year or two. We used to host guests for an hour-long interview, but now we host a 10-15 minute interview and have some other segments: everything from church planting to goofy church signs.
Over the summer, The Exchange transformed from a web-only show to a broadcast-quality TV program.
Today, Monday November 3, my weekly program debuts on TV here in America as well as through our first online affiliate network. You can now watch The Exchange on NRB Network (DIRECTV channel 378) Mondays at 7 p.m. Eastern. The network also broadcast the show through some select local affiliates, their online streaming channel, mobile apps, and via Roku which extend the reach into Canada, China, and the U.K. The NRB Network is available to 46 million U.S. households, so perhaps you can tune in! Also, the Christian Leadership Alliance's online streaming channel on Glorystone.tv will be carrying the show.
What Changed?
- Shortened from one hour to 30 minutes
- More practical and instructional
- Ministry Grid training segments
- Increased production quality (cameras, graphics, more segments, formatting)
- Added entertaining and rotating segments
- Pre-recorded, not live
What Didn’t Change?
- Content specifically for pastors and church leaders
- Tackling tough topics, i.e., theology, mission, religious liberty, mental illness
- Entertaining, informative and instructive interviews with pastors, leaders, authors, and newsmakers
- New episodes air online every Tuesday
My hope for the blog and this show is that the end result will be a conversation that honors God, leads to learning, and provokes us to love and good deeds. Send us your feedback. And don't forget to photograph those bad church signs.
