Airing on TBN-
June 1st:  2 AM - 3:30 AM

(please note: this movie is not for children)

Based on a true story of heroism and sacrifice, SAINTS AND SOLDIERS was an acclaimed hit on the film festival circuit, winning over 10 best film awards around the country.

In some of the most vicious days of World War II, four American soldiers survive a massacre of prisoners and remain trapped behind enemy lines. When they encounter a hiding British officer with valuable intelligence information, the group decides to try and sneak back into friendly territory with the data. However, that proposition is rife with difficulties: the group is mostly unarmed, the weather is freezing cold, they have no food, and the woodlands are crawling with German soldiers.

Can each of the men overcome their fear and the odds to deliver the information that may save hundreds of Allied lives?

Disney replaces SoapNet with Disney Junior

It's about a year or so away... however, Disney, who owns SoapNet, the network that is currently airing Soap Opera daily re-runs, will replace it with Disney Jr. - a new commercial-free channel aimed specifically for Pre-Schoolers, ages 2-7. ( I wonder where they thought up that clever name? Perhaps, Nick Jr. gave them the idea! ) Whatever the case, I am glad to see the network is changing and will provide wholesome educational programs in the future for young children.

According to the press release, Programming on Disney Junior will include about 200 new episodes annually of current Disney Channel shows, including “Handy Manny,” “Special Agent Oso,” “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” “Imagination Movers,” “Jungle Junction,” and new series like “Jake and the Never Land Pirates,” an animated program about children who pretend to be pirates and encounter Captain Hook. In the works are other shows that play off classic Disney characters.

Disney’s vast array of classic and contemporary movies, including among others “101 Dalmatians,” “Aladdin” and “Little Mermaid,” will be showcased.


This network is currently available in 75 million homes.

Check out the full Press Release, here.
