Typically you find that a public access television program schedule is pretty cut and dried, with a short list of boring options to watch at mostly inconvenient times. But GVTV has proven to be the exception with their widely diverse listings and entertaining programs laid out with the viewer's convenience in mind. With the modern capability to stream programs on the home computer, the watchability vastly increases. Coverage of local, national, and world news is complete and up to the minute whenever possible and can be found on cable TV as well as satellite. The idea of public access television began around 1970 when the need was expressed for a means of mass media distribution for ordinary people who would also create their own programming. Most of the funding is gained through private grants, contributions, and some federal government funding which means they often operate on a shoestring budget and always appreciate donations of time and money from the local area and nationwide as well.

The American Founding Fathers put the First Amendment first, because freedom of expression lays the cornerstone for democracy. The internet promotes this ideal around the globe, and nowhere else to all people enjoy the obligation and privilege of unrestrained free speech more than on the worldwide web. Although web content sometimes challenges readers, listeners, and viewers to discriminate carefully among fact, opinion, and dogma, web users naturally understand the obligations and responsibilities that accompany freedom of expression. Hasulam-TV, an Israeli channel devoted to study of Kabbalah and Tora, takes freedom of thought and expression into the spiritual domain, offering teaching and guidance in its principles. One caution to prospective viewers: Hasulam-TV broadcasts and posts to its website in Hebrew. Hasulam-TV demonstrates how Kabbalah explores the universe and humankind's place in it. Not a religion, Kaballah instead lays the ontological foundation for faith and belief, establishing each individual's purpose for being and his or her relationship with the Creator. Watching Hasulam-TV, a novice may proceed steep by step through a series of basic programs initiating him or her into the practice. Then, advancing up the ladder with more specialized and challenging Hasuslam-TV videos and live broadcasts, a practitioner of Kabbalah may work toward spiritual perfection.
