Source One TV started as an idea by Paul Matadeen and a host of industry associates after a six-year run with JC Rocks TV covering the Christian Music Industry. Paul believes artists' stories as they travel the world -- their triumphs, their struggles -- all work towards a testimony that affects many of our lives... and sometimes we don't even know it!
Source One TV aims to report on the latest developments in Christian Music and artistic ministries -- the hope -- to communicate what God is already doing, giving context to the awards and accomplishments we hear about everyday when we turn on Christian Radio.
