The network behind it all: Agora Broadcasting — see it in action, then get your own.
Agora Broadcasting Network isn't a community itself — it's the network that makes community stations possible. Agora is our own flagship station, built on that network, running live right now as proof of what a community station can be.
In ancient Greek city-states, the agora (ἀγορά) was the open public square at the center of daily life — part marketplace, part town hall, part meeting ground. It was where merchants traded, citizens debated civic matters, and philosophers taught in the open air.
Under Roman rule, the great Greek agoras — including the one in Athens — remained the beating heart of public life even as Rome built its own forums in the same spirit. It was in that very agora that the apostle Paul stood and reasoned daily with everyone who passed through, Jew and Greek alike.
"Meanwhile he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace daily with those who happened to be there."Acts 17:17
Then, as now, standing in the square meant something — a station of your own, built for those ready to be heard. Get your own station →
Agora brings that same idea to television and the internet — a public square where people still gather, still speak, and still are heard.
Agora grows with the organizations it serves — starting simple, scaling to a fully branded broadcast presence.
Churches, schools, and community organizations broadcast directly on Agora's shared channels — live streaming without building any infrastructure of their own.
As organizations grow, Agora offers a fully branded, dedicated broadcast station — same infrastructure, their own identity and audience. Get your own station →
Homegrown broadcasting starts with a single encoder in someone's hand and ends up live on a real network — same infrastructure carrying every client from first stream to full production.
Broadcasters go live with a simple encoder — a phone, a camera, a single operator — no studio or crew required to get started.
Multi-camera organizations step up to a live director's console for real-time switching, graphics, and a full production workflow.
Every stream lands on Agora's Faith, Community, or Education channel — live, 24/7, with no infrastructure for the broadcaster to build or maintain.
Whether an organization arrives ready to go live on day one or grows into a full multi-camera production, Agora is the same network waiting at the other end.
Billed to your organization, not your viewers. Every plan includes live 24/7 streaming — no cost to the people watching.
Not everyone has a studio. Everyone has a message. Agora exists so that message finds an audience — live, worldwide, no algorithm standing in the way.
