[1] Uganda Catholic Television began test-transmitting in 2020[2] on Free-to-air (FTA) services.
The Catholic television station is now on Zuku channel 74, where it broadcasts news, infotainment, evangelization, live papal events, and edutainment content.
[3] Operations started in 2020[4] but due to financial constraints and other factors, the channel did not commence regular programming and was testing its signal on free-to-air broadcasting primarily in the Kampala area until June 3, 2023, when it was launched.
[5] The establishment of UCTV was made possible through funds collected from members and donations, with notable contributions from the bishops of Italy who supported the acquisition of essential equipment and other sources.
[6][5] The television station's main studio is situated at the Catholic Secretariat in Nsambya and is supported by sub-stations in Mbarara, Tororo, Gulu, and Lira.
