First Catholic internet TV station goes live


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 of 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.

It's based in Ferndale, MI. They have a show called "The Other View," a response to Barbara et al. (I tried out for it.)

Go, watch!

This is very exciting - the founder/host is Michael Voris, who started St Michael's Media several years ago, and airs "The One True Faith" here in metro Detroit. The man rocks!! He and I have become friends, and I strongly urge everyone who can to support this venture.

I have a link to St Michael's Media at my site - I'm just too lazy to add the link here! ;-)

I registered for the free views and am very interested to see how this goes. I watched The Vortex a timely commentary on the, what else!, US election. It could have been much shorter for impact but it was very good none the less. Thanks for posting this.

Does this have anything to do with Legionaries of Christ or Regnum Christi?
