GOD TV endorses Plymouth's 1000 Club

A global media company that has made its home in Plymouth has joined the 1000 Club.

God TV, an evangelical channel which broadcasts across the globe is transforming the former Millennium building in Union Street, into a new base has now signed up to the scheme which aims to give young people a foot in the door.

As well as creating up to 100 jobs and helping spread the name of Plymouth – Britain’s Ocean City across the globe, it is also planning to offer apprenticeships with the help of the 1000 Club.

Head of Ministry Development, Dean Seddon said: “GOD TV is pleased to be a part of The 1000 Club and we are committed to working with other international organisations and local businesses in Plymouth to empower the city’s young people.

“With a widespread reach to 18 to 25-year olds, we aim to provide programming that is relevant to this generation including the UK’s top youth rallies and latest Contemporary Christian Music releases.

“We have been able to accommodate several interns in the past who have been trained in broadcast media and related skills. We now hope to make new positions available to young people in Plymouth when our Revival Prayer Centre officially opens to the public in 2015.”

Councillor Leader Tudor Evans said: “We are delighted that GOD TV has endorsed the 1000 Club. Plymouth’s creative industries sector is rapidly expanding and has an estimated turnover of more than £250 million a year.

“Investment and confidence from global companies like GOD TV is really important – but equally important is their commitment to our young people, to make sure they get a chance to try work in an exciting and inspiring environment.” 

GOD TV recently presented a documentary on location in Plymouth, England and Plymouth, Massachusetts, looking at the voyage of the Pilgrim Fathers and forward to fostering stronger links between the UK and USA.
