Telethon (Jonathia)

Telethon is a charity event held in Jonathia on a yearly basis since 1985. Jointly held between both public, commercial, and regional television and radio stations, the Telethon is usually held for three days during the first week of July. Various networks hold a 52-hour transmission to raise funds for various charities, ranging from children's welfare funds to assistance for disaster victims. During the annual event, local and worldwide stars participate in live events across the country. The Telethon is one of the most widely watched programs in Jonathia.
==List of broadcasters==
At least 8 different companies have broadcast the Telethon over the years. Of those companies, YSH, Yonnes Kanalja, and Arizaia Public Broadcasting are the only broadcasters to have transmitted every rendition of the event. Various commercial broadcasters have participated during various Telethons; 2023 marked the first time since 1999 that no commercial broadcaster transmitted the Telethon.
