PCT General Secretary calls for prayers and financial support for  troubled NETV

>Reported by Taiwan Church News

>Written by Lydia Ma

In recent days, the managing director of PCT-affiliated New Eyes  Television

(NETV) resigned from his post. Hsu Te-yi tendered his resignation  to PCT Mass

>Media Foundation at the end of September.

PCT General Assembly Moderator Leonard Lin commented that though  he was

sad to see Hsu go, he was also grateful for Hsu’s efforts. He  hoped that NETV

would overcome recent challenges and continue proclaiming the  gospel through

>mass media communications.

PCT General Secretary Andrew Chang reassured the network would go  on as

usual despite Hsu’s resignation, but also urged churches to  support NETV

through their prayers and financial donations during this  challenging season.

NETV began airing in 2008 and has earned accolades from critics  for its high-

quality programming. Last year, five of its programs were  nominated by Taiwan

Media Watch for quality programs for children and youth and four  more programs

were added to the list of quality programs this year.

Approximately 93% of Taiwan’s population can watch NETV  through cable

television. Overseas Taiwanese living in South America, U.S. east  coast, etc.

can also watch it via satellite television or through internet  broadcast.

Chang said PCT was determined to keep NETV up and running, but  added that

if only 40,000 Christians would donate NT$200 each to NETV every  month, the

network would have sufficient funds to cover daily operations and  continue

sharing the gospel with the rest of the world.
