History
The Church of Christ Broadcast Network - COCBN was founded by brother in Christ, Hammond Burke. In
2003, Burke was inspired to create a broadcast network that would give local congregations the ability
to spread the gospel around the world using the latest in web and streaming video technology.
As a member of the Mountain View Church of Christ in Dallas, TX, Burke was inspired by Minister J. K.
Hamilton to help develop technology at this congregation. While serving as Mountain View's Minister of
Technology under the guidance of Bro. Hamilton and the congregation's leadership, Burke established
the Church of Christ Broadcast Network - COCBN to assist Mountain View (the first to stream through
COCBN) and other congregations in building technology ministries and developing methods of
streaming video.
Burke was further inspired by the late Johnnie Wilder, Jr. in 2004 when Bro. Wilder asked Burke to build
the first 100% a cappella online radio broadcast wVusic105am.com. Developing this broadcast was
the fuel needed to push COCBN ahead. With the assistance of the Wilder family, that effort still lives on
today.
Over the years, COCBN has provided technology for various congregations and church of Christ
ministries
God brought everything into place including the widespread availability of broadband Internet, social
networking such as Facebook, and a cluster of ministers and church leaders who sought the use of
streaming technology for their ministries. As COCBN continued to develop streaming media
technology, it has now come to a point where it is even possible to broadcast from every part of the
globe the one gospel of Christ.
