Hosanna Vision Television

What Hosanna Vision Television does

Hosanna Vision Television is a Christian media organization headquartered in Panama City, Panama, operating under the legal entity Hosanna Apostolic Ministries Broadcasting Corporation. Founded in 1980 by Pastor Edwin Alvarez alongside the founding of the Comunidad Apostólica Hosanna (now Panama's largest church), the company runs one national television channel (Hosanna Visión Channel 37) and three FM radio stations (Hosanna Carismática 94.9 FM, Hosanna Capital 94.9 FM, and Hosanna Stereo 100.7 FM) with coverage extending to Panama City, central provinces, Colón, and Chiriquí. The network broadcasts eight programs spanning health journalism (Viva la vida! Vívela Bien.), daily news (A toda hora, Hablemos), children's content (Chiki Time), and religious teaching (Viviendo con Sentido Común, Disfrutando la vida diaria, Iglesia Ammi, Sid Roth's It's Supernatural), supplemented by live streaming via its website.

The company serves a singular audience segment — Christian viewers and listeners seeking family-friendly, values-based programming with ethical, moral, and spiritual content — primarily in Panama. Its revenue model is entirely donation-driven, relying on traditional tithes and offerings collected through the affiliated church network plus the Adopta Minutos program, which allows supporters to adopt prayer minutes at B/.20.00 per minute via six payment integrations (PayPal, Yappy, Banco General, Banco Nacional de Panamá, Banistmo, Bank of America). Additional services include prayer request submissions and the annual Ekklesia spiritual conference.

The go-to-market motion is community-led, leveraging the international Comunidad Apostólica Hosanna church network spanning Latin America, USA, Europe, Africa, and India for audience building. Distribution is supplemented by organic social media (Instagram accounts for A toda hora and Chiki Time, Facebook) and email newsletters. There is no proprietary technology platform identified, no AI/ML capabilities, and no app presence — the operation runs on conventional broadcast infrastructure and a donation-management website. Leadership comprises Pastor Edwin Alvarez (President), Loida Álvarez de Rivera (General Manager), and Nuvia Cañizales (Production and Programming Manager), with a total headcount of 28 employees.
