COLOGNE, Germany, September 28/PRNewswire/ --

- For the First Time, the IP-TV Transmitter Broadcasts Two Church
Services Live From Cologne Cathedral

World premiere for the Cologne Homeland Transmitter. For the first time,
center.tv will be broadcasting church services from the most famous German
cathedral. Chosen only recently as the favourite venue of Germans, viewers
will shortly be able to watch two live services on their screens and
worldwide via the Internet.

After the grandiose success on World Youth Day 2005 in Cologne, the newly
created pilgrimage to the cathedral that is currently taking place will also
meet with great international response. Pilgrims from all over the world are
pouring into Cologne. Already during the first pilgrim choral mass, the
cathedral was full to the brim.

"It is a joy for us to be able offer all friends of Cologne Cathedral and
the Pilgrimage participation in two outstanding church services." says Andre
Zalbertus, Head of Broadcasting at the Cologne Regional Television Service,
"And that the local program is initially also being broadcast simultaneously
worldwide via the Internet." On the occasion of the pilgrimage to the
cathedral, center.tv will take over sound and images from the Archbishop's
cathedral radio and show the pontifical choral masses on Saturday and Sunday
in its programs.

On Saturday, 30th September from 6.30 p.m. CET, Dr. Rainer Woelki, the
auxiliary bishop of Cologne, will solemnize a mass together with thousands of
pilgrims.

On Sunday, 1st October from 10 a.m. CET, Joachim Kardinal Meissner, the
Archbishop of Cologne will celebrate a pontifical choral mass to close the
pilgrimage.

Both church services will be broadcast live on television via center-tv
and also worldwide via the Internet at www.center.tv or www.domradio.de.
