History
According to K-TV's official 'About us' page, K-TV started on 11 September 1999 as the first Catholic television broadcaster in the German language, proclaiming the Gospel through the medium of television. Its founder was Pfarrer Hans Buschor (1933-2017), who had already reached a large audience with his cinema films 'Pater Pio, Vater von Millionen' (1968) and 'Fatima, unsere Hoffnung' (1977). As spiritual director, Pfarrer Buschor shaped the channel's orientation for many years. He himself designated the three priests Werner Maria Heß, Dr. Thomas Maria Rimmel and Paul Schuler as his first joint successors in the office of spiritual direction. Since January 2026, P. Dr. Thomas Felder FSO, Pfr. Werner Maria Heß and Pfr. Dr. Thomas Maria Rimmel have been responsible for the content-theological orientation of the channel.
