Fe-TV is a Spanish-language broadcast television network providing Christian programming to the Hispanic community. Based in Harlingen, Texas, the network is an outreach of Faith Pleases God Church, a charismatic megachurch in Harlingen, along with sister network La Familia Network (LFN). In August 2006, the network went off the air for what the Fe-TV website described as rebuilding and expansion. The network expected the downtime to be six months; it turned out to be over a year, as Fe-TV was not seen again until September 2007.
Fe-TV programming is very similar to that found on major English-language Christian networks: preaching, Biblical instruction, music and talk shows. Most of the ministers appearing on Fe-TV are Spanish speakers; however, a few English-language ministers, such as Joyce Meyer and Benny Hinn, also appear on the network, their words dubbed into Spanish.

Religious broadcasting, sometimes referred to as faith-based broadcasts, is the dissemination of television and/or radio content that intentionally has religious ideas, religious experience, or religious practice as its core focus. In some countries, religious broadcasting developed primarily within the context of public service provision, whilst in others, it has been driven more by religious organisations themselves. Across Europe and in the US and Canada, religious broadcasting began in the earliest days of radio, usually with the transmission of religious worship, preaching or "talks". Over time, formats evolved to include a broad range of styles and approaches, including radio and television drama, documentary, and chat show formats, as well as more traditional devotional content. Today, many religious organizations record sermons and lectures, and have moved into distributing content on their own web-based IP channels.
