Community TV launched in Cape Town.

21 Sep, 2006

Cape Town now has its own community television station following the launch of Cape Town Community Television Collective (CTCTV) on 16 September. Established by a group of local media and arts organisations, the station will broadcast local news, culture and current affairs. It will be run by a board nominated by local non-profit organisations, with two representatives each for labour; arts, culture and community media; the NGO sector; community; education; and sports. Initially CTCTV will operate through the South African Broadcasting Corporation for two hours a week, before becoming independent. Broadcasts are due to start in May 2007.
