In addition to EWTN (which broadcasts on TV, with a live streaming feed on the Internet), there is now Real Catholic TV, an Internet-only Catholic television station which will soon be broadcasting programs produced by St. Michael's Media. It's only three days old, but it looks pretty good!
The "Vortex" is, admittedly, rather scathing and smart-alecky (which I fear might lead to people discrediting the actual arguments the host makes), but otherwise the programming is thoroughly Catholic.
The Vortex (from September 2) does make an excellent point about the Democrats' desire for abortions to be "safe, legal, and rare". If abortion is a legal right, why shouldn't we be allowed to exercise it whenever we wish? Why shouldn't abortion be permitted at will?

Looks interesting; I shall have to check it out.
Have you seen gloria.tv?
Thanks for the kind comments - just to point out, RealCatholicTV.com isn't connected with Saint Michael's Media. We just broadcast (or WILL BE broadcasting) programs produced by Saint Michael's Media.
We urge everyone to check us out!

Wow ... RealCatholicTV is really interesting and worth a daily look!
I'm already a big fan of Real Catholic TV. It is now part of my mornign routine to check out the days news and topics. Very polished for an upstart and definately not programing focused on the blue haired faithful. Has Catholic media made the leap all the way to generation X? it looks promising so far!

Reference the "smart alecky" or edgy style of the commentary on the Vortex:
To often we water down what needs to be said where it begins to sound like...blah, blah, blah.
Proclaiming the truth of the Gospel in our days means not being so sensative that we arn't afraid to shake a few cages. Read Saint Paul lately?!
Maybe we have been collective wall flowers for enough decades. Maybe bold is also an appropriate tact. In the words of JPII, Be not afraid!

As you can see from my blog, yes, I have. :)
Don't forget Salt & Light TV which has been on the air for several years now - and finally has live streaming, as well as some archived shows. Canadian, and therefore less 'in your face' than American Catholicism - but faithful to the magisterium. It is run by young Catholics and headed by a Basilian father who is self-described as a John Paul II priest.

Looks really awesome! I love the music. Telecare TV / Telecare Television is really good as well... they do a ton of original programming and have a lot of videos on their web page site.

In this discussion how was the first Catholic television station in the world (1955-present) and one of the original television stations to both archive and offer a live stream of their 24-hour programming (1993-present) forgotten?
