Czech-American TV (CATVusa) is a non-profit volunteer project of the Czech-American John Honner, who decided 20 years ago to promote the Czech Republic in his new homeland, the USA. In addition to donors directly in the USA, many Czech Universities and institutions support this incredible undertaking.
CATVusa has been promoting the Czech Republic, especially in English-speaking countries through half-hour shows, which are watched by nearly 6 million households in Florida, Illinois, Oregon, and now Texas. These broadcasts inform about beautiful and interesting places in the Czech Republic. Viewers learn about Czech history, folklore, cuisine, fashion, products, regions, cities, and monuments.
In addition to cable broadcasting (HMS-TV Comcast Channel 17, At&T U-Verse Ch 99, Sudden Link Ch 99, Phonoscope Ch 96, all in the Houston City Limits) the programs can also be watched via the Internet, which is used by over 100,000 viewers worldwide, primarily in Canada, Australia, England, and Germany.
CATVusa aims to spread awareness of the Czech Republic and its culture. Broadcasts take the form of video documentaries.
