===Worldwide=== For nine years, [[Armenia Fund]] held an annual international telethon that was broadcast to all major U.S. cities and across the globe. The 12-hour live program is able to raise millions for humanitarian and infrastructure development programs in [[Armenia]] and [[Karabakh]]. The annual telethon is held on [[Thanksgiving (United States)|Thanksgiving]] every year. During Armenia Fund's 10th International Telethon, held on November 22, 2007, the event raised a record-breaking $15.3 million. The program aired from the [[Hollywood, Los Angeles|Hollywood]] studios of [[Los Angeles]] television station [[KCET]] and was broadcast in the United States, as well as internationally. The [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|2004 Asian tsunami]] also led to telethons being held in countries such as Canada ([[CTV Television Network|CTV]] and [[Omni Television]]), United States ([[NBC]]) and Australia (a joint telecast between the [[Seven Network]], [[Nine Network]] and [[Network Ten]]). In 2014, [[TWiT.tv]] held an online telethon entitled "24 Hours of 2015" celebrating New Year in every time zone to raise money for [[UNICEF]]. Founder and host [[Leo Laporte]] streamed live for much of the 24 hours, raising over $58,000.<ref>{{cite web|title=TWiT.tv Raises $58,000 for UNICEF.|date=January 2015 |url=http://www.eteknix.com/twit-tv-raises-58000-unicef-24-hour-new-year-live-stream|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150102062753/http://www.eteknix.com/twit-tv-raises-58000-unicef-24-hour-new-year-live-stream/|archive-date=2015-01-02}}</ref>
