 NEW SACFAITH TV BILLBOARDS
Sacramento Faith TV is coming off a strong end to 2015, having finished the year in the black and bringing on a multitude of new programmers including some larger ministries like Joel Osteen, Billy Graham, Hour of Power with Bobby Schuller. We look forward to an even bigger year as new ministries join our ranks as broadcasters. During the months of February and March look for our Billboards on HWY 80 at Fulton and Watt and on HWY 50 at Sac State at Howe Ave. If you know of a church that has media capabilities or would like to reach a larger audience have them contact us at SacFaithTV@live.com, for the cost of $50 a week they can have 2 airtime slots, free daily TV commercials, and special concert broadcasts. Join us now while good slots are still available. Ron Hermann II - Sacramento Faith TV
