MTA IN NORTH AMERICA Muslim Television Ahadiyya, International (MTA) is the first worldwide Muslim Satellite Broadcasting Channel. It is being run by a volunteer staff. MTA is another very powerful sign of the fulfillment of the Divine Promise of Almighty Allah to the Promis ed Messiah (AS) : "I Shall Cause Thy Message to reach the Corners of the Earth. " In 1994, Hadhrat Khalifatul Me ssiah IV (ABA) established the MTA as a satellite Te levision Station to spread the Unity of God throughout the world with objectives to unite the mankind and to educat e and train the Ahmadi Muslims who are increasing in numbers every year. Curremly, the MTA can be watched in all five continencs with over I 50 countries utilizing thi s divine ble ss ing of Almighty Allah. MTA is broadcast in several languages and s ome of its programs are simul- taneously broadcast in 7 different languages. At the direction of Hadhrat Khalifatul Me ss iah IV (ABA) , the Canadian Jama'at took the initiative, with mutual efforts of the USA Jama ' at, to provide access of MTA to North America. The Earth Station, locat- ed in the vi c inity of the Baitur Rahman Mo s que , Silver Spring, Maryland, provides the link through three satellites, to the North, Central and South American viewers. This signal is received directly in the home of Americans and Canadians using a custom digital receiver system 24 hour a day. Hadhrat Khalifatul Me ssiah IV (ABA) inaugurated this Earth Station in October 1994 at the inauguration of the Baitur Rahman Mo sque. In addition to the Dish & Receiver Sy stem, people in America and throughout the world can listen to or watch MTA programs on the internet. How Do You Bring 16 Million Followers Together?
