A Brief History

Marcus Lamb was raised in Macon, Georgia and began preaching at age 15. By age 19, Marcus had graduated Magna Cum Laude from Lee College. In 1982, Marcus married Joni Trammell of Greenville, South Carolina. They began traveling and ministering in churches in over 20 states. Keep reading about Marcus Lamb and Joni Lamb…

In 1984, following God’s specific guidance, they moved to Montgomery, Alabama to build WMCF-TV 45. In 1985, channel 45 became the first full-power Christian television station in the state. At age 27, Marcus Lamb was the youngest person ever to build a television station in the United States.

The Lambs quickly gained recognition as “a new breed of televangelists,” as one CBS News anchor put it. In 1990, they moved to Dallas, Texas to build a new Christian television station. Through a series of miracles and divine favor, KMPX-TV 29 hit the airwaves in 1993 in the Dallas/Fort Worth market of over six million people.

In August of 1997, the ministry moved into a new 32,000 sq. ft. studio-office facility. The Daystar Television Network was officially launched on New Year’s Eve 1997 with a live broadcast featuring Bishop T.D. Jakes from the Potter’s House in Dallas.

In December of 2003, Daystar completed its move into its new 90,000 sq. ft. International Ministry Center which includes two state-of-the-art production studios.

Since then, the Daystar Television Network has emerged as the fastest growing and one of two largest Christian television networks in the world. Daystar operates over 70 television stations in major markets across the United States, and has a potential audience of over 100 million households in the U.S. alone.

In March of 2004, Daystar launched on the HotBird 6 Satellite broadcasting into 74 countries, and on Thaicom 3 broadcasting into 59 countries internationally. Daystar can also be viewed on international satellites including AMC-4, NSS 806, PAS-10, BSkyB, VIASAT and OPTUS B-3, covering the entire footprint of the world reaching over 200 countries and 680 million households globally.
