You may not remember hell, you may not even have been born when Marshal McLuhan, a reputable, well-respected scholar, declared television a vast wasteland, bemoaning its hypnotic powers and its capacity for dummying-down important ideas. He was right, of course; he still is. A trip across the three hundred channels is still a lot like a road trip across North America on the I-70: You discover civilization's outposts are far fewer and much further between that you ever imagined, and all the rest is vacancy with road signs. A few of the quirky little roadside attractions are, however, pretty dazzling in their homespun way. For example, try SGTV in Seminole County, Florida. SGTV has just about everything Seminole County except alligator jerky. Naturally, SGTV airs live broadcasts of important government meetings and events, and it features on-demand rebroadcasts of the major policy-making discussions, debates, and votes. Unlike many government stations around the country, though, SGTV offers a full day's programming everyday everything from Jazzercise to environmental tips and tactics. For Seminole County visitors, SGTV offers comprehensive information about local landmarks and attractions, and for everyone in the greater Seminole County area, including its major tourist attractions, SGTV offers comprehensive, detailed weather information. Other channels may frustrate or disappoint, but SGTV is a great little outpost in the vast wasteland.

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.

Romania is truly in the forefront when it comes to making inspirational programming available to the Christian world.
