The Orthodox Christian Network (OCN) is an American broadcasting network which presents Orthodox Christian themed programming to the United States and to over 190 countries world-wide.
Founded as an agency of the Standing Conference of the Canonical Orthodox Bishops in the Americas (SCOBA), OCN was established to create a sustainable and effective media witness for Orthodox Christians in North America. Established in the 1990s, OCN produces a variety of media tools that are aired 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ranging from audio and visual programming, to blogs and other published works. These include "Come Receive the Light," a nationally syndicated Orthodox radio program; the "ARK," a twenty-four-hour internet radio station of Orthodox themed music; and the "RUDDER," a twenty-four-hour internet radio station that features traditional Orthodox liturgical music and chant. OCN also produces many podcasts and customized internet radio stations that feature programming for local parishes.
In the words of the founder and Executive Director of OCN, Rev. Fr. Christopher Metropulos, "OCN's mission is to use modern media to communicate the timeless truth of Orthodoxy to the modern world.”
