Canada's Miracle Channel launched today on Rogers Digital Cable in Ontario, New Brunswick, and
St. John's Newfoundland on channel 397, and in Corner Brook, Gander, Grand-Falls-Windsor and Bell Island Newfoundland on channel 88.

The move will make the faithbased television signal available to approximately 1 million Rogers Digital Cable customers, and it builds on the specialty channel's national expansion plans.

Miracle Channel Founder and President, Dick Dewert stated in a release, "We are thankful for this opportunity to bring to so many more viewers the one-of-a-kind programming offered on our faith-based service. This is a welcomed expansion to not only our organization but to our many viewers, and supporters who have been standing with us for this expansion. In particular, we would like to thank the Rogers Digital Cable executive management and
staff for their cooperation and foresight in recognizing that the Miracle Channel is a
strong brand desirable to many Rogers Digital Cable customers."

The viewer supported faith-based channel originating from Lethbridge, Alberta, has been broadcasting since January 14 of 1996 after being the first religious organization in Canada to be granted a broadcasting license by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), the regulating body for broadcasting in
Canada.

The Miracle Channel is seen across Canada on both of the nation's direct-to-home satellite systems, in more than 600 cabled cities and communities, and through offair transmission in Southern Alberta. In addition, it can be viewed on-line at
