This post
contains information about how to watch the Beatification of Archbishop Oscar
Romero on television and on the Internet (this Saturday May 23rd).
Before I get to
the good stuff, two exhortations. First
of all, if you can get to downtown San Salvador by hook or by crook, then please
do it. As Auxiliary Bishop
Gregorio Rosa Chavez said earlier in the week, a strong popular turnout would
be good. Second, if you can’t make it,
then by all means join in. Find some
local commemoration, and tune in to the big ceremony. Forward this post to grandma, to your church
friends, post it on your social networks.
Televisión Católica de El Salvador
TVCa is the source. The signal that all the other broadcasts will
carry will come from a TVCa feed. You
can watch it online from the TVCa website here. Ceremony begins 10H00 local time (12H00
US/EST) (15H00 GMT).
Centro Televisivo Vaticano
CTV (aka “Vatican
Television”) will carry the signal. The
Vatican rented the two satellites that will beam the live signal on the
coordinates in the publicity card below.
It is expected they will have it available to live stream on their website. Broadcast starts 6 P.M. Rome time.
Salt + Light Television
The
Canadian-based S+L will broadcast the ceremony and will be the largest broadcaster
to watch the event on conventional television in North America. Broadcast information here.
TeleSur
For South
America, this is the principal option. They
have put together a comprehensive TV and Internet package and have been in El
Salvador for days. Information here.
ESNE
“El Sembrador” Ministries is seen in throughtout
Central America, three U.S. states, Spain, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and
a few South American countries. Information
here.
CNN En Español
It is not clear
they will broadcast the entire ceremony, but they may carry portions of it or
updates on it through the day. They will
also have a special program about Archbishop Romero (09:00 ET; 13:00 GMT). Information here.
CentroamericaTV
Finally, available
on U.S. cable or satellite networks (not in HD, but live broadcast begins well
in advance of the official ceremony). Information
here.
