- Provide quality programming for a wide audience. In many areas of the world where Televisions are sparse or costly, internet access can be held more easily. Charity TV, through its internet broadcasting, seeks to reach people who may not have access to regular Television, so they too can benefit from a series of programs that provide entertainment, education, and formation in the Christian faith.
- Respond to the Church’s continual call for ecumenism. Charity TV reaches out to an audience of Christians in the Middle East and around the world. It enables Lebanese and other Middle Eastern Christians who have migrated to different countries to stay in contact with their faith and culture. It’s programs offer religious, educational, and cultural information, opportunities, and insights valuable for all Christians, and for those who want to understand the Catholic faith and its place in daily life more.
- Foster an active and interactive relationship with its viewers. Charity TV uses the internet as a means of broadcasting because it allows for instant feedback and communication from viewers. Charity TV encourages those watching its programs to log in with questions and comments, this fostering an active discussion and enabling Charity TV to best meet the needs of its viewers.
