The origin of the channel dates back to 1995, when a TV studio was opened in a small room within the prelacy building of the Araratian Pontifical Diocese, initiated by Catholicos Karekin II who was serving as primate vicar of the diocese at that time.
In 2002, Shoghakat TV received an official broadcasting license by the authorities of Armenia.
The TV channel was released in order to illustrate the activities of the dioceses and also to promote the preaching of Armenian Apostolic Church.
