WBPH-TV, virtual channel 60 (VHF digital channel 9), is a religious independent television station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that is licensed to Bethlehem. The station is owned by Sonshine Family Television. WBPH-TV's studios are located in Allentown, and its transmitter is located on South Mountain in Salisbury Township in the Lehigh Valley region of the state. History The station was an outgrowth of Christian programming that Pat Huber had begun on a local public-access cable television channel. In 1985, Huber formed the Sonshine Family Television Corporation and applied for a television broadcast license with the Federal Communications Commission. The station first signed on the air on December 27, 1990. Programming Current programming WBPH broadcasts select programs from locally produced special interest programs, televangelism, three hours per week of legally mandated secular educational programming for children, and Lafayette College sports events. Since the station's inception, two of WBPH's original programs have been 60 Live and Bethlehem Glory, both hosted by station owner Pat Huber. The station affiliated with FamilyNet until it converted to a secular classic sitcom format in 2013 and ended all over-the-air affiliate contracts in 2017 after converting to a new Western sports format as The Cowboy Channel, and with The Worship Network until that network shut down in 2015. Unfilled airtime is occupied with "Song and Scripture" from Radiant TV, a service of WLMB. WBPH is also an affiliate of the Lafayette Sports Network. Broadcasts are produced by RCN channel 4 and include all of Lafayette College's football games (including early rounds of the playoffs) and all men's and women's basketball home games. Very few of the basketball team's away games are televised by the station, though one notable exception are men's games played at Princeton University. WBPH also carries a Spanish-language newscast produced by WFMZ-TV. Past programming Through the course of its existence, the station has also produced shows in conjunction with area radio stations and churches. One program that had short-lived popularity among area church youth was Live from Studio 60. Produced along with WBYO (88.9 FM), Live from Studio 60 showcased local Christian bands performing to a live audience at the WBPH-TV studio in Allentown. The program reached its peak in 2000 when it played host to Christian band The Waiting, in conjunction with the Fallout concert, a large Christian music festival held annually in the Lehigh Valley as a promotional event for See You at
