The Eternal Word Television Network has expanded its coverage in Chile thanks to IPTV digital television, which is operated by Telefonica del Sur, and will offer the signal 24/7.

Andres Loyola Barberis, an official from Telefonica del Sur, said incorporating EWTN’s Spanish language signal was important because it is “the Catholic channel with the greatest and best coverage in the world,” and because his company “offers its service to a thoroughly Catholic society in which the network’s programming is highly appreciated.”

EWTN reaches more than 142 million homes in more than 140 countries through its eight television signals worldwide.  It also operates a shortwave radio station and a satellite radio network, as well as one of the most visited Catholic websites.
