Hope Channel Australia now prepares and delivers its own programming schedule. The new line-up went to air on Sunday 6 September 2026.
Until then, most of what you've seen on Hope Channel Australia has come to us through the Hope Channel International feed. The schedule is now built here, which means the line-up is shaped around Australian viewers — with a new range of programs chosen for you.
Noticed something different?
That's the new schedule. Your channel, app and website all work exactly as before — it's the programs and their times that have changed. The current line-up is always in the TV guide below.

Questions
My programs are on at different times now.
Yes — the new schedule has its own start times and its own pattern of repeats through the week, so a program you used to catch at a certain hour may well have moved. The TV guide above always shows the current week.
Do I need to do anything?
No. It’s the same channel on the same number, and the website and app work exactly as they did before. There was nothing to retune or reinstall.
The channel isn’t coming through.
Get in touch and we’ll help. It helps if you can tell us how you watch — VAST, the website or the app — and roughly where you are.
Why has the schedule changed?
Hope Channel Australia has reached the point where it can prepare and deliver its own schedule, rather than carrying the international feed. It’s a step forward for the ministry here, and it means the programs going to air can be chosen with Australian viewers in mind.
Where are my favourite programs?
Many familiar programs have carried across, though often at different times. The quickest way to find yours is the TV guide above.
I can’t find a program I used to watch.
Some programs from the international feed aren’t part of the new Australian schedule. If there's something you'd like to see return, tell us — the programming team genuinely does read this.
What time zone is the guide in?
The online guide is shown in Sydney time. If your state keeps a different time, you'll need to adjust from there — and if you'd like a printed guide for your own time zone, get in touch and we’ll help.
What happens when daylight saving starts on 4 October?
The online guide follows Sydney time, so it moves with the clocks in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the ACT. If your state doesnt change its clocks, the programs will appear an hour later than they did through winter..
Can I still get a printed guide in the post?
Yes. We post the monthly guide to viewers who don’t use a computer. Call or write to us and we’ll add you to the list.
Tell us how it’s going
Now that the new schedule is on air, we'd genuinely like to know how you're finding it. If you're having any difficulty receiving Hope Channel, or there’s something you’d like to see on the schedule, please get in touch. Your feedback helps us settle the transition and keep improving what goes to air.
