ISLAMIC CHANNELS

Start an Islamic TV channel, from the masjid to every home.

Stream Jumu’ah live, keep recitation and lectures on air day and night, and reshape the whole grid for Ramadan without touching hardware. Arabic and Urdu render correctly on screen from day one.

Step by step

How to start an Islamic TV channel

If the masjid records its khutbahs and lectures, most of the work is already done. The channel turns that archive and the Friday feed into television.

  1. Upload the archive

    Khutbahs, lecture series, Qur’an recitation, and nasheeds go into the channel library. Tag speakers and series as you upload; recordings stay findable years later.

  2. Build the daily rhythm

    Recitation in the early hours, lectures in the evening, and the schedule shaped around the prayer times of your own community. Hijri date and daily adhan graphics, generated automatically for your city, are arriving shortly. Recurring blocks repeat the pattern without rebuilding it.

  3. Take Jumu’ah live

    One encoder at the masjid sends the khutbah and salah over RTMP or SRT. The live slot recurs every Friday, and fallback protects the channel if the connection drops.

  4. Publish and share

    The channel plays on web, phones, and TVs via casting. Share the programme guide link in the community WhatsApp groups; its preview shows what is on air right now.

The broadcast day

What runs on an Islamic channel.

A live heart on Fridays, recitation as the backbone, and a grid that bends for the Islamic calendar.

Recitation

Qur’an around the clock

Recitation blocks are the backbone of an Islamic channel: they carry the overnight and quiet hours with dignity, and viewers leave the channel on the way they once left the radio on. Surah titles render in Arabic on screen, right to left, correctly.

Lectures

Tafsir, fiqh, and lecture series

Weekly series get a fixed slot so the audience knows when to tune in, and the archive fills the repeats. A ticker can carry announcements, iftar times in Ramadan, or the masjid’s programs for the week.

Live worship

Jumu’ah, Eid, and special nights

Friday prayers recur in the grid, Eid salah is added for the morning, and Laylat al-Qadr programming runs late into the night. Live slots sit beside scheduled content, and the channel hands back to the schedule when the program ends.

Ramadan

A month with its own grid

Ramadan flips the whole broadcast day: taraweeh live after isha, reminders and recitation before suhoor, series after iftar. You build that grid in the browser ahead of the month and switch back after Eid.

The details

What it takes, in practice

An Islamic TV channel used to mean satellite carriage and a studio. Now it means a media library, a schedule built in a browser, and one encoder at the masjid for the live programs. The playout, the graphics, the programme guide, and delivery to 300+ cities all run in the cloud, and a channel with content ready can be on air in minutes. Cloud Playout plans start at $254 per month billed yearly, with viewers and delivery never metered.

Arabic and Urdu, rendered properly

Arabic and Urdu work out of the box, right to left, in lower thirds, titles, and the ticker, and you can upload your own fonts so the channel’s look matches the community’s script traditions. Automatic subtitles come on every plan for reaching the generation that follows the English better than the Urdu.

Ads on your terms, or not at all

Many Islamic channels choose to run no advertising, and nothing here forces it: breaks exist only where you place SCTE-35 markers (the standard cue that tells the stream where an ad break starts). Channels that do take ads usually want tight control over what appears, so you bring your own advertisers and nothing airs that you did not approve. Breaks are then filled server-side, and you are billed only for ads that verifiably played.

The community abroad

The audience for a masjid channel is rarely just the neighbourhood. The analytics map shows where viewers actually are, city by city, and delivery is never metered, so the channel reaches the family that moved away at no extra cost. Church, gurdwara and mandir channels solve the same problem the same way, and faith broadcasting covers what every tradition shares.

EVERY CHANNEL INCLUDES
Questions

Islamic channels, answered.

How much does it cost to start an Islamic TV channel?

Plans start at $254 per month billed yearly, with worldwide delivery included and no bandwidth bill, so an Eid crowd adds nothing to the invoice. There is no contract, and the first purchase carries a 7-day money-back guarantee.

What equipment does the masjid need?

One encoder for the live feed, which can be a laptop running OBS, a small hardware unit, or a phone app at the minbar side. Everything else, the scheduling, graphics, guide, and worldwide delivery, runs in the cloud and is managed from a browser.

Can we broadcast Jumu’ah and Eid prayers live?

Yes. Live slots sit in the weekly schedule, so Jumu’ah is a recurring Friday slot and Eid salah is added for the day. If the connection at the masjid drops mid-khutbah, the channel falls back to scheduled programming and rejoins the live feed when it returns.

Can the channel run in Arabic or Urdu?

Yes. On-screen graphics handle right-to-left text correctly, with Arabic and Urdu supported out of the box, and you can upload your own fonts. Titles, lower thirds, and the programme guide all carry your text exactly as you write it.

How do we handle Ramadan programming?

You build the Ramadan grid in the browser before the month begins: taraweeh live in the evenings, pre-suhoor programming overnight, and lecture series through the day. When Ramadan ends, the regular schedule takes over again. No hardware is touched either time. Hijri date and prayer-time graphics, generated automatically for your channel’s city so iftar and suhoor stay current, are arriving shortly.

Do we have to run ads?

No. Many masjid channels carry no advertising at all, and a break only exists where you add one. If you do take ads, you bring the advertisers yourself, so you decide exactly whose ads can appear.

Where can the community watch?

In the web player, on phones, and on TVs via casting, with simultaneous multistreaming to social platforms. The channel publishes its own programme guide, and the guide link shows what is on air when shared in WhatsApp, which is usually how word spreads.

How do we fill 24 hours a day?

Most masjids already have years of recorded khutbahs and lectures. Qur’an recitation fills long stretches, especially overnight, and auto-fill covers any gap left in the schedule.
