After years of hard work, fundraising and program preparation on the part of 6 very dedicated lay volunteers in Taipei, MOD (Multimedia on Demand), Taiwan’s first Catholic TV station, began broadcasting on 1 January.
“The initiative,” explains Paul Su, “was launched in response to the growing request for Catholic TV programs in Chinese. Many people want to hear what the Pope has to say about things.”
The new channel, the result of interreligious collaboration, is one of a group of other religious TV channels, most of which are Taoist and Buddhist. In fact, only the Catholic Faith was missing in the programming and now this dream has come true thanks to the perseverance and intensive labors of the six lay people who firmly believed in and supported this initiative.
