VTN is the only Christian television network headquartered in Arkansas -- reaching 1.2 million homes across the state of Arkansas, Western Tennessee (including the Memphis area), the bootheel of Missouri and portions of Northern Mississippi. It is also one of the few religious independent stations outside of major U.S. markets.

VTN carries a combination of the most popular national Christian programs, as well as locally-produced religious shows. Original program features such as Community Connection, More Than Champions and VTN Carbonated are also seen.
