EWTN's Live Pool Feed for Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's Historic Beatification Ceremony
EWTN to Live Stream Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen's Beatification
EWTN Global Catholic Network has announced its commitment to provide both domestic and international news outlets with a clean live pool feed from St. Louis, Missouri. This initiative marks a significant moment as it will cover the Vespers, or Evening Prayers, on September 23 and the actual Beatification Mass of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on September 24. These events, held at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Louis and the Dome at America’s Center respectively, are set to celebrate the legacy of an influential figure in the Catholic Church.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, an Emmy Award-winning television personality and prominent evangelist, is recognized as the first U.S.-born bishop to be beatified. This progression is a critical step towards his canonization as a saint in the Catholic Church. EWTN's live feeds will be available through various platforms, like Live U Matrix Distribution Channel along with SRT and RTMP streams, ensuring wide access to these historical events.
In preparation for the beatification, EWTN will supply additional B-roll footage from both St. Louis and Peoria, Sheen's home diocese, exclusively for Associated Press subscribers. B-roll and video packages will also be provided to CNN Newsource subscribers, reinforcing EWTN's aim to support media outlets in effectively communicating the significance of this event to audiences worldwide.

Networks that wish to receive the pool feeds are advised to contact Stephen Beaumont, EWTN’s Director of Studio Operations, by September 21. The schedule is as follows:
