KCM launched its radio ministry in May 1975 when it began broadcasting on 10 stations. A short time later, the Lord told Brother Copeland to put forth the Word “on every available voice.” Within a year, the broadcast was being heard on more than 500 stations in the U.S. and Canada, resulting in an increase in the production and distribution of cassette tapes—the only form of audio recording for sale—from 27,000 to 171,000. Television became another “available voice” for KCM in 1979, as the ministry aired its first one-hour, weekly TV broadcast. Ten years later, in 1989, the Copelands took their boldest, most daring step of faith ever when they launched the daily "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast. "BVOV," which currently airs 858 hours each week, is now seen on 243 networks/stations. The television ministry saw a major expansion beginning in March 2006 when KCM began airing the "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast on Trinity Broadcasting Network’s Spanish-language satellite network, Enlace. Today, U.S. national TV networks carrying the broadcast to a potential viewing audience of over 318 million people, include Daystar®, Glorystar™, God TV, TCT® and Enlace. International TV networks, which currently reach a potential audience of over 3 billion people, include God TV, Daystar®, Enlace, as well as Miracle Channel, Glorystar and VisionTV in Canada. Countries reached include Africa, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, India/Middle East, South America and Latin America. As part of the growth and expansion of the television ministry, KCM completed its upgrade to new, state-of-the-art, high-definition TV engineering and production equipment to provide viewers around the world with the best possible transmission of the gospel. In 2015, the ministry extended its television outreach to include the Believers’ Voice of Victory Network® (now called VICTORY Channel™) through DISH® Network Channel 265. And in 2020, VICTORY signed on to DIRECTV®, Channel 366. Hosting a lineup of more than 30 trusted ministries delivering the uncompromised Word of God 24/7, VICTORY can also be streamed online at govictory.com and kcm.org, as well as via Roku®, Apple TV®, VICTORY YouTube®channel, Amazon Fire TV®, Android TV®, Go Victory iOS and Android apps, FaithNOW, Glorystar, TuneIn, and iHeartRadio. In 2020, KCM launched "VICTORY News," a daily program that reports trustworthy news in a spirit of faith. "FlashPoint" was also launched, with special guests who share current events along with prophetic insights. It has become a valued source of understanding and hope about God’s plans for the days in which we live. The internet has played a major role in the growth of KCM. In 2000 the ministry established kcm.org, providing global access to features and articles from the "BVOV" magazine, as well as live audio and video feeds from Believers’ Conventions and Victory Campaigns, and access to its TV broadcasts. The launch of the online Believers’ Academy in 2014 is enabling Partners and Friends to strengthen their faith with a learning center they can access at their convenience. Through its social media outlets, KCM U.S. has logged more than 1,775,427 fans on Facebook™; registered more than 504,214 followers on Twitter®; and recorded nearly 56,509,134 video views and 917,823 subscribers on YouTube. Worldwide, KCM Facebook fans total over 3.5 million. The online Partner Community was added in 2014 to provide a place for people to network with others of like-minded faith—to chat, share, pray for and encourage one another. 10 : BVOV
