By J. Brock (FINN)
A joint press release from KTV Limited and Stanley Services Limited has announced the creation of a new Company called Falkland Islands Television Limited (FITV) which will broadcast locally produced news programs.
Equally owned by both parties, the new Company plans to commence broadcasting later in the year using KTV’s distribution platform.
The aim of the new Company is initially be to provide locally produced news programs two to three times a week concentrating on local issues. The TV Station will be staffed by local people who will undergo the relevant training.
According to Mr Mario and Sharon Zuvic Bulic, owners of KTV Limited, editorial policy for the news production is completely independent of any other news entity in the Falklands.
Mario and Sharon Zuvic Bulic went on to say that “they are very excited by the creation of a local TV station producing local news and other programs by local people for the local community”.
Tom Swales Managing Director of Stanley Services Limited noted “that SSL are very pleased to be involved in the creation of a completely new Company offering a brand new service to the Islands. It will be a new sector within local Business and will create albeit a small but dynamic industry in the Falkland Islands”
