The Church of Scientology, which includes religious followers such as actors Tom Cruise and John Travolta, will be starting a religious broadcasting center. The center will share its religious teachings over radio, tv, and internet.
The church purchased a five-acre studio where the broadcasting area will be located.
The purpose of the station is to better inform people of the new religion. Religious leaders saw a need to create the station because in the past they relied solely on the use of pamphlets and books.
"The church plans to establish a central media hub for our growing world network of churches and to move into the production of religious television and radio broadcasting," said Karin Pouw, a spokeswoman for Church of Scientology International, in an email.
There is no current timeframe in which the station is scheduled to begin broadcasting.
The Scientology station can be compared to Pat Robertson's Christian Broadcasting Network, which can be seen on tv and cable stations in Trenton, New Jersey.
"Hollywood is a major hub for creative talent and some of them are Scientologists," said Ross. "They'd have a lot of talented folks who could produce shows and stars like Tom Cruise who would appear on them."
