Bibel TV is a German free-to-air television channel operating in the Christian religious and family entertainment format. The primary language of broadcasting is German. The channel was launched on October 1, 2002, making it Germany's first Christian television channel. The channel is based in Hamburg, Germany, at Wandalenweg 26. Bibel TV is organized as a non-profit charitable foundation and is financed primarily through donations from more than 32,000 supporters, rather than through commercial advertising or church taxes. The channel broadcasts 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, and is available throughout Europe via satellite, cable, digital terrestrial television, and online streaming platforms.

On air, Bibel TV features a comprehensive program that covers the full spectrum of journalistic and entertainment broadcast formats. The channel's programming includes feature films, documentaries, children's programs, talk shows, magazine formats, sermons, and theological contributions. Music programming is also a significant part of the schedule, with programs such as Jericho featuring gospel songs, modern rock, pop music with Christian relevance, as well as traditional spiritual and choral music. The channel also broadcasts animated Bible stories, quizzes, and short Bible verses presented as trailers between programs. The channel's motto is I believe. I see.

Bibel TV is operated by a foundation with 16 shareholders, including the Catholic Church in Germany and the Evangelical Church in Germany, each holding 12.75 percent of the shares. Other founding members include the association of Free churches, the German Billy Graham Association, Campus Crusade for Christ in Germany, and the German Bible Society. The executive director of Bibel TV is Henning Röhl, a former executive at German public broadcasters ARD and MDR. The channel describes itself as an ecumenical Christian media house, welcoming viewers from all Christian denominations.

Beyond its main television channel, Bibel TV operates additional digital channels and services. The channel offers two additional online channels: Bibel TV EchtNow, which features personal life testimonies, and Bibel TV Impuls, a dedicated sermon channel.

The channel's media library offers thousands of programs on demand, including series, films, and inspirational content.

Bibel TV strives to bring the message of the Bible closer to viewers through modern, engaging, and high-quality television programming. The mission of the channel is to offer an alternative to mainstream television, which the channel's founders believed was dominated by violent and sensational content. The channel aims to reach both committed Christians and spiritually curious viewers who may have turned away from traditional churches but remain interested in questions of faith, meaning, and morality. Under German media law, the channel does not proselytize or engage in religious advertising, focusing instead on information, education, and entertainment from a Christian perspective. Thanks to modern digital platforms, Bibel TV provides the opportunity to watch online the live broadcast on any device - from smartphones to Smart TVs - ensuring that German-speaking audiences across Europe and beyond can access its faith-based programming wherever they are.
