Presently Bolivia is marking the 10th anniversary of Católica Televisión, founded in 2001, which has announced that it will soon extend its signal to reach more areas of Sucre. “We are planning to reach those most in need, we intend to extend and improve our signal” said the director general of the means of communication of the archdiocese, Próspero Cáceres. With the slogan 'Signal of Hope', Católica Televisión intends to announce the values of the Gospel with images which are not in contradiction to life, but instead which make life become a priority. Its programmes are inspired by the Gospel values of justice, dialogue and brotherhood, so that communications may communicate and promote the common good. (SL) (Agenzia Fides 23/7/2010)
