MEET OUR TEAM.
KPLE-TV was founded in faith, built through service, and continues with a mission to reveal the love of Jesus Christ to every home.
Jesus Christ
Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only mediator between God and humanity, and faith in Him is the only way to receive salvation. We seek a personal relationship with Him as the path to eternal life and a closer connection with God.
KPLE-TV believes that we have been chosen for His glory, and we strive to spread His glory around the world.
“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14:6
“All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away.” — John 6:37
Catherine Mason
Catherine was born in 1927 in Waco, Texas. After both of her parents died, she was raised by her Uncle Bill and Aunt Minnie in Belton, Texas. It was her Uncle Bill whom she credited with starting her journey of faith.
Catherine married and had four children with her husband, Roy.
Catherine attended TCU, Central Texas College, and Texas Woman's University, where she received her master's degree in early childhood education.
Catherine worked as a legal secretary for 22 years before beginning a career in early childhood education. She owned and operated a private kindergarten for many years before joining Central Texas College, where she produced a children's television show, taught early childhood education courses, and eventually helped establish the Central Texas College Child Development Center.
While at Central Texas College, she was called by the Lord to provide Christian television programming for Central Texas.
She and other like-minded women founded KPLE-TV with a mission to reveal the love of Jesus Christ to every home in Central Texas. KPLE and Christian television were her passion for almost 30 years.
Catherine never truly retired. After slowing down, she enjoyed traveling, gardening, spending time with family, and helping the community any way she could.
Catherine passed away in 2022, leaving a legacy of love.
“God loves you, and He will help you if you just let Him.”
— Catherine Mason
