CTV is Cape Town’s only community television station. But so far only viewers with an aerial that’s in the line-of-sight of Tygerberg could actually watch the channel. That all changed yesterday as they launched a 24-hour live stream, embedded on their website – taking their content global.
The community station started broadcasting in August 2008. Since its launch, the channel has faced numerous challenges including a struggle with ICASA to renew it’s license. Things have been resolved and the channel now has a seven year license.
Station manager Karen Thorne:
CTV has grown substantially over the past three years and has doubled its income in each year of operation. We are now on a sound financial footing and we are planning for the migration to digital broadcasting because we expect to be carried on a digital multiplex towards the end of 2013.
