About Hope Channel Ethiopia
Our Historical Journey
2016 - Initial Broadcasts
Hope Channel Ethiopia began in 2016 with weekly 30-minute broadcasts in Amharic language on a private television station. This initiative was driven by the passion and support of church members from the Addis Ababa Gospel Outreach Coordinating Committee. The programs primarily featured sermons and Bible discussions.
2017 - Expansion of Service
In 2017, the service gained attention from the church union. Two producers and two camera operators were hired. For three years, we broadcast on Elshadai Television, expanding to one-hour programs in Amharic and Oromiffa.
2020 - 24/7 Broadcasting Launch
In January 2020, we inaugurated our own studio within the Kebena SDA Church compound. With more equipment and staff, we launched 24/7 broadcasting in Amharic, Oromiffa, and Tigrigna, reaching Ethiopia and Eritrea.
