TPRF Launches Television Broadcasts Across U.S.
Peace for People
http://www.tprf.org/tprf-launches-television-broadcasts-across-u-s/The Prem Rawat Foundation (TPRF) is set to launch its first multistate television broadcast program this month, sharing its founder’s message of peace with viewers in five major cities across the U.S.
The initiative builds off of success at a station in Phoenix, Arizona, where a winter pilot program set viewership records in the twelfth biggest television market in the country. Produced by TPRF, the 10-week television series featured footage of Prem Rawat’s international talks about personal peace. The program aired across most of the state every Saturday morning at 11:30 on KTVK, a popular channel, which also broadcasts local news and shows such as Jeopardy. Read more

Words of Peace TV Canada is Off the Air
This is an exciting time of change for everyone who supports Prem Rawat’s message and is ready to see it shared on a previously unimagined scale. Prem Rawat is embarking in a fresh direction and exploring new communication methods.
WOPG Continuing
WOPG will continue as a charity with a more specific focus. Going forward, the organization will no longer be responsible for centrally orchestrating volunteers and projects. Media production by WOPG is also coming to an end, and with it, regional TV broadcasts. This will allow us to focus on supporting specific public events with Prem Rawat hosted by a range of regional organizations around the world.
WOPG online
The WOPG website (including the help desk and info lines), YouTube and social media channels will remain.
Donations to WOPG
WOPG's role is shifting, however it will continue to play a role in support of Prem Rawat's work. Contributions are still needed ongoing and are very much appreciated.
Pay View videos (Premium Channel)
After February, no new Pay View videos will be added to the WOPG video collection. This is to make room for new channels of distribution to enjoy and share Prem Rawat’s message. Existing Pay View videos will remain online. As before, after 12 months, Pay View videos will be re-released for free viewing on wopg.org and WOPG’s YouTube channel.
Local TV broadcasts
Local TV broadcasts are now being taken off air in order to make room for new developments. TV listings will be removed from the WOPG website shortly and interested viewers will be directed to the WOPG video collection at wopg.org and on youtube.com/wopgyt. Those who have been donating to support TV in their local area are encouraged to divert these donations to TPRF if they wish. Other donations being made to WOPG are still much appreciated, making it possible for communities to continue enjoying live events with Prem Rawat.
UPDATE ON CANADIAN TV BROADCAST
The last Canadian TV show in English aired Saturday March 14th at 3pm EST. Words of Peace CANADA donors received a message from WOPC shortly about the status of their ongoing donations. Effective April 1st, 2015, automatic pre-authorized contributions towards the TV show and WOPC will no longer be withdrawn from credit cards, bank accounts, or post dated checks of WOPC donors.
