Awards

[edit]

In 2011, theDove TV was the recipient of the National Religious Broadcasters' prestigious Low Power Television Station of the Year.[3]

In 2022, theDove TV received another NRB Low Power Television Station of the Year.

Controversy

[edit]

On March 22, 2021, theDove TV was removed from and banned permanently by YouTube. This was as result of claims that theDove was repeatedly violating their "COVID-19 misinformation and presidential election integrity policies" that were added to its "community standards" around the time of the 2020 United States presidential election.

A spokesperson for YouTube stated, "Any channel that violates these policies will receive a strike, which temporarily restricts uploading or live-streaming. Channels that receive three strikes in the same 90-day period will be permanently removed from YouTube. If a channel owner feels the strike was made in error, they can appeal the decision." The appeal was made, but denied by YouTube. A claim of ownership to the videos was also made, but it, too, was denied.[4]
