Scientology starts its own Television Network — Scientology TV

By Teresa Reile

The Church of Scientology International has launched its own television network – Scientology TV – on Direct TV Channel 320, http://www.Scientology.TV and YouTube.

Broadcasting began March 12, 2018.

Scientology TV can also be viewed on Roku, Amazon TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and Amazon Firestick. The network will play on Iphones, Ipads, Ipod Touch and Android devices through mobile apps.

The new network has an ambitious agenda. Its studio, on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, has three sound stages, 136,000 square feet of studio production space, 20 editing suites, 6 voice recording studios, 7 mixing rooms with 5.1 surround sound capabilities and fully integrated broadcast master control.

L. Ron Hubbard (1911-1986) is the founder of Scientology. His life and teachings will be featured on Scientology TV.

Scientology TV runs 24/7 with content fed from six continents through 20 correspondent teams based across the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America, Australia, Russia, Asia, US and Canada.

Among shows Scientology TV will broadcast are six new series:

Inside Scientology – a behind the scenes view of Scientology.

Meet a Scientologist: a look at the lives of prominent Scientologists in sports, art, entertainment, science and more.

L. Ron Hubbard. “Scientology is the only mainstream religion in existence today that has the voice of its founder fully intact,” Scientology claims.  On Scientology TV viewers can listen to L. Ron Hubbard in his own words and voice.
