Our Story

With over 30 years’ experience in television broadcasting and media, Tugo TV’s founders, devout people of faith, saw this firsthand. Faith content was treated as something to be avoided by executives in the industry. We were always told, “faith is like politics; don’t touch it.”

Faith-based content was left out of entertainment for far too long.

Faith-based creators struggled to get support and resources, and families were left with few entertainment options.

Many in the industry were afraid to work on faith-based projects. Producers couldn’t get the help they needed to create quality faith-based content, and distributors wouldn’t air their work. Families looking for uplifting, faith-based, or family-friendly entertainment that aligned with their values were left with few options. For our founders, this was a professional and personal challenge. As people of faith, they understood how faith guides families, strengthens values, and inspires hope. Yet, in the entertainment industry, faith content was being overlooked.

The founders of Tugo TV worked to change this, dedicating over 30 years to funding, writing, producing and distributing faith-based content.

Thus began Tugo Media, an award-winning television and media company dedicated to creating high-quality programming rooted in faith and family principles. Our productions—including Academy-nominated content—exceed international broadcasting standards and have reached hundreds of millions globally, ensuring that faith-based and family-friendly content is accessible worldwide. But we knew we could do more, so we created Tugo TV.

With Tugo TV, we’re changing the narrative—faith is not a liability; it’s a strength.

Families deserve quality entertainment that speaks to their beliefs and values, and all families (including secular) deserve a safe space with clean, values-driven, and uplifting content.

This is why Tugo TV was born. A streaming platform where faith is celebrated, family values are upheld, and everyone is welcome to enjoy uplifting, wholesome entertainment.

Tugo TV is for anyone seeking uplifting, family-friendly content.

In addition to faith-based content, we offer a variety of secular categories, all of which are family-friendly. We uphold a higher standard for what qualifies as “family-friendly,” ensuring our platform is free from content that conflicts with our values—so you never have to worry about what your kids might see.
