CTN operates three channels:
- The main CTN service focuses primarily on televangelism with some alternative medicine infomercials.
- CTNi is also televangelism-based but with all programming in Spanish.
- CTN Lifestyle includes secular syndicated programming (such as Small Town Big Deal, Positively Paula and Ron Hazelton's HouseCalls) along with some Christian talk shows (The 700 Club, AFA Focal Point), movies and Christian-themed entertainment programs.
All stations are owned and operated by CTN unless specified. A blue background indicates a station signed on by CTN or a CTN subsidiary.
