Bay TV celebrates first birthday with DStv announcement NCEBA DLADLA
N
ELSON Mandela Bay’s own community television station, Bay TV, is celebrating its first birthday in October on a high note. According to newly appointed Bay TV station Manager Geoff Hookins, there is even more reason to celebrate as they will not only be introducing three new programmes, but will also now be available on DStv from next month. Hookins said he is proud of the role and growth of this powerful medium in Nelson Mandela Bay and Eastern Cape. “We are really celebrating a milestone and the way things are done here at Bay TV, I am sure we’ll grow the station and be there for a long time,” said Hookins proudly. As a gift to the community Bay TV is introducing three new shows to its schedule in October. These are a sports programme, called Match Time, a dance show called Fohloza Dance and a religious debate show called Sahlukaphi (Where do we differ?) To celebrate in style, Bay TV has organised a braai for members of the community at Happy Value on Heritage Day, Monday 24 September. This family outing is offered in association with Nelson Mandela Bay Tourism. Castle is sponsoring the live stage for local artists performing in different genres, including Shoelace, Take Note, Blawa Mafiozo, Azz Veritazz, Nombongo and many more. There
will be braais in the VIP area courtesy of Castle and Marina Braai Salt. Algoa Bus will offer six buses to transport people from various pickup points to the venue. These pick-up points are at Cleary Park Shopping Centre, Motherwell Shopping Centre, Daku Shopping Centre, Babs Madlakane Hall, Njoli Square and 6th Avenue, Walmer at 9am. The proceeds of the event will be donated to a worthy charity organisation.
