Summary
Christian Broadcasting Network
media business enterprise
Ten prefixes carved from one old block, announced in two clusters with a wide unrouted gap between them.
What it's used for
- A broadcaster's network. 5,632 addresses across ten IPv4 prefixes, three observed BGP neighbours, and no IPv6 announced.
Notable
- Every prefix sits inside
159.26, and every one is netnameCBN, registered toChristian Broadcasting Network, Inc. - One cluster runs
159.26.64.0/22,159.26.68.0/24and159.26.70.0/23. - The other runs from
159.26.224.0/24to159.26.248.0/23. - Eighteen addresses were queried for reverse DNS and none returned a name.
Interesting
- One organisation holding this much of a single range, with the same netname on every piece, is a holder from the era when space of this size was handed out whole and the paperwork was done once. Modern assignments arrive in small pieces from a registry that asks what each one is for.
- The space between the two clusters belongs to the same holder and carries no route, so it is held but unrouted. That is the normal end state for a large old allocation: the parts still in service get announced and the rest sits in the registry as an asset.
- Nothing answered a reverse lookup across the sample, which for a network of this size means the address space is used for things that receive connections rather than initiate them.

Interconnection
Peering at a glance
Internet exchanges
No exchange port on file. Many exchanges publish no participant list, so this is not proof of absence.
Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-20, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,779 prefixes, as published 2026-10-21. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
