Gateway UHF Broadcasting is a television network in the Philippines, affiliated with the religious 3ABN network. It was established in 1999. This station is located at Sumulong Highway, Block 5, Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Antipolo City.

History

The network's sign-on occurred on November 23, 1986, after 2 years of planning and construction of a satellite uplink site in Thompsonville, Illinois. Initially focusing on satellite broadcasting for the United States, 3ABN has since taken on several affiliates, which broadcast directly into television markets on VHF and UHF stations worldwide.

3ABN is the second-largest owner of Low Power TV stations in the U.S. In 2006 their broadcast outlets in the U.S. numbered over 100 stations, and they currently have several more construction permits.

The network also has a large Production Center in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and has produced a wide variety of Russian language television and radio programming since 1993. The programs are aired throughout the Russian-speaking countries on approximately 150 television stations and several satellite channels.

In 1999 and 2000 3ABN expanded into radio and satellite television in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Currently 3ABN is distributed around the world via 8 satellites, and through streaming video and audio on the Internet.

The 3ABN Radio Network is growing rapidly in affiliates due to the FCC allowing for low power FM stations in the United States.

The president of the network throughout its existence has been Danny Shelton, 54, who hosts the network's flagship program, 3ABN Today. Shelton co-founded the ministry with his wife at the time, Linda Shelton. After the Divorce, the Vice President of Operations was handed over to Tommy Shelton.

Programming overall on the network is Christian and health oriented, and broadcasts 24 hours a day.
