WELU 8.1 Live Stream

WELU 8.1 is a Puerto Rican Christian television station broadcasting under the banner of CTNi, Christian Television Network International. It belongs to Senda Educational Broadcasting Inc., and its output is in Spanish, aimed at the island's audience and at Spanish-speaking viewers across the Americas.

A station and a network

The virtual channel 8.1 is the station's place on the dial; the identity viewers meet on screen is CTNi. The network describes its coverage in two layers. Locally it broadcasts over the air on channels 20.1 and 34.1 in Puerto Rico, and it is carried by the island's cable operators - Liberty on channel 106 and Claro TV on 46. Beyond the island it distributes by satellite across North America, Central America, South America and Europe, which makes a Puerto Rican station part of a much wider Spanish-language Christian service.

The programming

CTNi's schedule is built around preaching and teaching: services and sermons from Puerto Rican and international ministries, gospel music, programmes on the family and Christian living, and the kind of pastoral content that a network of this size produces. It is straightforward religious television rather than a general channel with religious slots, and the audience it serves is the Spanish-speaking evangelical community on the island and in the diaspora.

Puerto Rico's Christian broadcasters

Puerto Rico has a long tradition of religious broadcasting in Spanish, and stations such as this one sit within it as local outlets of wider networks. The island's cable systems and its satellite reach into the Americas mean a Puerto Rican station can serve viewers from Orlando to San Juan to Central America with the same signal.
