Station
programming will include sport, news, actuality, music, the arts, culture, religious
programming, business / finance and youth and women’s issues. “The main focus of our programmes will be to highlight
grassroots community issues, including developmental issues, health care,
education, culture, sport and environmental affairs,” says Vuyo Mvoko, the
chairperson of BAY TV.
“BAY TV will be a platform for the community of Nelson Mandela Bay where
we can get together and talk about things that matter to them, in a language
they all understand, reflecting their own needs. But as much as this is about
giving the people a voice, it is also about empowering our community and
creating opportunities that would otherwise not be open to them,” says Mvoko.
Adds Denise
Roodt, Deputy Chairperson of the Board: “The launch of BAY TV is a watershed event for
the budding film and television production industry in Nelson Mandela Bay and
the greater Eastern Cape. Finally, local artists have a reason to stay in the
Bay, since the station will offer them a platform to showcase their work.
However, the greatest beneficiaries are the community members who now have a TV
station they can call their own.”
BAY TV proudly follows in the footsteps of the many great political
and business leaders who come from the region. “Leaders from Nelson Mandela Bay
have always made a big impact on the political and economical landscape of
South Africa. We aim to do the same by delivering a community television
station that becomes a leader in its arena,” concludes Mvoko.
