Verbum TV is a 24-hour, commercial-free, Sri Lankan, multi-language television channel that broadcasts spiritual and religious programs related to the Catholic faith. The channel broadcasts holy mass, documentaries, discussions, and other Christian programs. It broadcasts programs in languages Sinhala, Tamil, and English.[1] Its name is inspired by the Latin word "verbum", meaning "word".

History

The channel initially broadcast programs on social media, but in 2015 it opened its studio and started broadcasting through satellite television services Peo TV[2] and Dialog TV.[3][4] In 2017, Verbum TV opened its second studio, and in December 2018 it built its private chapel to start broadcasting live masses at the premises of the Basilica of Our Lady of Lanka. Since 2023, the channel has also been broadcasting through satellite TV services Dish TV and FreeSat.[5][6]
