Doulos Broadcasting Network (also known as DBN) is a Tongan Christian television station, affiliated with the US-based Trinity Broadcasting Network. As of 2011, the station was located close to the TBC facility in Nukuʻalofa which combined a church and a television production facility. It received a satellite feed of the main TBN network from the NSS-9 satellite and was equipped with a Teko transmitting tower. Unlike Television Tonga, which broadcast on VHF, DBN broadcast on UHF.[1]

DBS was reported to only cover the islands of the Tongatapu Group, in southern Tonga, where most of the population lives. 70% of its programming was sourced from the TBN relay; the remaining 30% was local programming.[1]

The station was commissioned on 2 May 2001 and started broadcasting weeks later.[2] Its founder was Reverend Isileli Taukolo.[3]

DBN's viewpoint on the conversion to digital TV differed from TBC as of 2015 when the decision to implement digital terrestrial television was taken that year.[4] In June-July 2016, it, alongside A3Z (OBN) and Television Tonga were airing Tuku ifi Leva (Quit Smoking Now), part of a campaign against smoking.[5]
