Shraddha TV is a non-profit Buddhist television channel based in Sri Lanka. The channel is known for airing religious spiritual content with a primary focus on Buddhism and the teaching of Buddha. Most of the programming is shot at the main Buddhist monastery in Polgahawela.

Shraddha TV was officially launched on 29 September 2012 on the cable television service, PEO TV.[1] [2] [3] [4] It was subsequently included on the home satellite television service, Dialog TV and Freesat .[5] The founder of television channel is Kiribathgoda Gnanananda Thero, who is also the founder of Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery.[6] The chairperson of Shraddha TV is Sudath Annasiwaththa.[2]

The channel is owned by the Mahamevnawa Buddhist Monastery and is broadcast from Kaduwela, a suburb of Colombo. Shraddha stands for devotion. It uses content from real life and advertises itself as being suitable for people of all ages and religious persuasions. It broadcasts Dhamma Sermons, Dhamma Discussions, Meditation Guides, documentaries, and Charity Services 24 hours a day via Dialog TV Channel No 27, Freesat Channel No 22 and SLT Peo TV Channel No 99.[2] Its main tagline is "The Noble friend of Television Media". Shraddha TV started terrestrial broadcasting for the Western province via UHF 55 on 2015-12-31.

The channel frequently discusses the "Fundamentals of Buddhist Teachings", such as the Four Noble Truths, Noble Eightfold Path, Pratītyasamutpāda, Skandha - Five Aggregates of Clinging, etc.

Vishama Bhaga (Sinhala: විෂම භාග) (English: The Other Half) is a Sri Lankan Sinhala drama film released in 2019, directed by Lalith Ratnayake and produced under the banner of Shraddha Film Productions. This film delves into the intricacies of human relationships and societal norms, showcasing the emotional and psychological struggles of its characters.

In 2020, Shraddha TV expanded its portfolio by dubbing the popular Thai movie Love over 3D into Sinhala, retitling it as Biyakaruya Me Sasara. This adaptation brought the compelling narrative of the original Thai film to a broader Sinhala-speaking audience, enhancing the cultural exchange and appreciation between the two regions.
