Array of Hope announces the launch of its new channel and app for Roku, AppleTV, tablets, and all smartphones. This new channel and app are a home for faith-filled content for the whole family now made available on popular mainstream viewing platforms. It will feature an all-new original Array of Hope weekly variety show called Rise Up–Live! a program for all ages premiering on February 8. In addition to the weekly show, viewers have access to hundreds of offerings including concerts, short films, original programs and series, interviews with religious, a faith-formation series, music videos, virtual retreats, and more. Distinguishing itself from other Catholic streaming services, Array of Hope also offers live and fully interactive shows, educational content with fully downloadable resources as well as live partnered events that allow third-party organizations to stream their conferences and special events exclusively through the Array of Hope channel.
The non-profit began as a live-production media company offering and supporting Catholic events and music concerts in the Northeast, but in the wake of COVID-19 shutdowns, it has since exploded into a national digital media company with a rich library of content. As a video destination with inspiring films and resources, Array of Hope’s new channel and app are full of exclusive family entertainment designed to meet viewers anytime, anywhere.
“In an increasingly digital world, Array of Hope offers multi-generational families, parishes, and dioceses nationwide engaging and hopeful content to bring the beauty and truth of Catholicism to life,” says Producer and Executive Director, Mario Costabile. “We work to bring captivating, quality content to homes and churches with media that enriches and catechizes viewers of every age through this exciting streaming platform.”
Since the pandemic, Array of Hope has created nearly 100 exciting virtual programs ranging from Confirmation and Lenten retreats to concerts and parish-wide events in dioceses around the country. With an Array of Hope membership, these special events, along with a multitude of other programming options, can now be broadcast and streamed through the channel. Over the next six months, the channel also plans to launch many different types of weekly shows with a variety of hosts and themes. Topics will range from dating, parenting in the modern world, how to find God in our culture today, to subjects engaging young adults, and more. Content is available in both free and premium sections. In its pre-launch phase, Array of Hope gained more than 1800 subscribers.
General audiences are invited to attend the full premiere of Rise Up–Live! on February 8 at 8:30pm EST by downloading the Array of Hope channel and app on their preferred streaming platform. The app is currently available and can be downloaded for free in advance of the event by searching “Array of Hope” in the App Store or by tuning in online.
