The article is devoted to analysing religious television in Ukraine as a key institution of contemporary sacred communication, which shapes a new configuration of spiritual presence within the digital media space. Religious TV channels are examined as mediatized spaces for producing and transmitting symbolic meanings, within which traditional theological narratives are adapted to the demands of audiovisual culture, and the sacred acquires new forms of visualisation, emotional accessibility, and communicative dynamism. It is demonstrated that television broadcasting provides a unique format of spiritual support, enabling faith communities to participate in prayer practices, catechetical programmes, and moral-ethical discourse beyond the boundaries of physical religious space. It is established that religious television, as a mechanism for shaping worldview orientations and a channel for constructing identity, significantly influences the spiritual culture of society. The article emphasis is that through a diversity of genres and the combination of educational, informational, and interactive formats, religious TV channels function as media-religious platforms where the articulation of value meanings, the interpretation of social events, and the development of models for moral evaluation take place. Religious television emerges not only as an instrument for disseminating doctrine but also as a factor of spiritual-cultural stabilisation amid informational oversaturation, social crises, and wartime challenges. The article argues that religious telemedia create a new architectonics of sacred space by integrating religious discourse into the public sphere and ensuring the formation of stable channels of spiritual communication. It is stressed that the mediatized form of religious broadcasting expands the horizons of religious presence, shapes individualised models of experiencing religiosity, and contributes to deepening cultural-value reflection within contemporary society.
