First Catholic internet TV station goes live
CathNews ^ | September 2, 2008

A US company has launched what it claims to be the world's first exclusively internet TV station.

IBL News reports that Amigot Corp New York has designed and engineered for a group of businessmen of Indiana, Real Catholic TV.com, said to be the first television station ot its kind on the internet.

Starting September 1, the station features daily news, daily political commentary, daily features on saints and history as well as regular episodes on morality, movie reviews, entertainment, apologetics and much more.

With its own proprietary technology, the station will provide viewers with free access to home page content, daily news and commentary (current events and politics) from the Catholic perspective, messages directly from Catholic bishops to the faithful, and program previews.

Premium memberships for US$10 per month will allow access to the full site which includes original programming including talk shows, movie/book/art reviews, programs featuring Church teaching on morality and doctrine.

The station claims the backing of various bishops in the US including Archbishop Charles Joseph Chaput of Denver and others.

RealCatholic TV was formed in early 2008 by lay Catholics who claim to be faithful to the Magisterium of the Catholic Church with extensive experience in commercial broadcast television, specifically network and local television news, and Fortune 500 companies.

I may be a protestant but this looks great! Hopefully this will pave way for more networks by evangelicals, Jews, Greek/eastern Orthodox ETC.

No thanks, I will stick with Christian stations. Catholics teach stuff not in the Bible. And no, Catholics are NOT Christians.

Do Catholics go to hell as a sort of first principles thing?

Totally cool.

Just registered at the site and it starts Oct. 1. $10 a month is very reasonable.

Thanks! What a great catch.

Don’t bring up Augustine, you’ll just confuse ‘em.

Well, if there's one thing your post makes clear, you didn't learn grammar in a Catholic school.

Bible “Christians” believe hell was made for Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and Hitler. In that order.

Not all of them are like that.

God Bless you!

Polling Protestant FReepers, just about all disagree with that poster.

Catholic FReepers also, mostly think Protestants are Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

That’s my point. He doesn’t speak for anyone except himself, hence, the quotation marks. I don’t confess to know many evangelicals, but the ones I do know have the decency to acknowledge that I’m a Christian, too.
