Standing Together to Support Catholic Television in Africa
CTSA (Catholic Television Service for Africa) is a strategic initiative of CRTN and BNC, supported by ACN and the Dicastery for Communication. Its mission is to build and strengthen a collaborative network that unites English- and French-speaking Catholic television stations across Africa, fostering excellence, unity, and shared purpose in Catholic media.
Connectivity and Reach
A growing Catholic television network enables the Church to reach thousands of families across Africa with its message. Its mission is to connect urban and rural communities, overcoming barriers of distance and communication.
Training and support
Through technical and artistic training, Catholic television teams in Africa gain the skills and resources needed to produce high-quality programmes. Ongoing guidance, tools, and support help ensure the long-term growth and sustainability of their projects.
