Technical hitches delay educational TV channel - PS

In an interview with Mmegi yesterday, Ramoroka said it was discovered at a late stage of preparations that the main editing suite needed to be reset. Nonetheless, production of programmes has been going on uninterrupted.

"We have set ourselves the target of starting broadcasting before the end of September," he said. The educational broadcaster, which was officially launched with considerable fanfare last June, was initially scheduled to start broadcasting in mid-July. Speaking at the launch, the Minister of Education (MoE) Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi said it cost P22 million to set up the educational broadcaster and that half of the money came from Japan Broadcasting Corporation as partners in the venture.
