TV Trwam is a Polish TV channel located in Toruń, Poland, belongs to the Lux Veritatis Foundation. The station is owned by the Warsaw Province of the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer, and is financed through donations from its audience - "The Radio Maryja Family"; this is unlike most Polish television stations which are either publicly funded or dependent on advertising revenue. Due to a concordat with the Vatican that grants certain privileges to the Church, TV Trwam is not bound by normal accounting rules as it is regarded as being Church operated.

Distribution

TV Trwam is available in many countries around the world via cable or satellite, including: the United States, Germany, Canada, Italy and Switzerland. It is also transmitted free to air from Astra 2C 19,2E satellite in Europe and Galaxy 19 satellite in North America.[2]

History

The Radio Maryja headquarters are housed in a modern building amid gardens in the north of Toruń.

TV Trwam received its license on 13 February 2003 and launched its terrestrial broadcast on 13 May 2003, as well as regular broadcasting via satellite.

The station's motto is "a means of social communication, not media manipulation."
