This is followed by In Focus, which on Mondays, features in-depth reports of topical political and social issues. From Tuesday to Friday, it covers entertaining and informative stories involving people's lives, adventures and events. Its documentaries and reports cover business and science, culture and education, historical and present day events as well as sports and leisure. Topics are investigated in-depth and presented in an informative 26-minute format.
Programming continues at 6pm Mondays to Thursdays with Tomorrow Today: the science magazine, Bundesliga, Germany Today: Window on Germany and In Good Shape: The Health Show.
As a community TV station we would expect a service where transmission issues are at least at an acceptable level. who ever has his fingers on the buttons better get his act together as I have lost all interest in this station as every time I tune in the scheduled program is beset with technical faults. No sound or sound volume so low it's inaudible,video quality that's extremely poor and as I write this can you believe slow motion with no sound at all as has been so for an hour already. Doesn't anyone monitor what they are putting on air? Are they so incompetent that it takes them ages to solve they technical boo boo's? Does anyone in their studio know what buttons to press?
What a shame and embarrassment it will be when many thousands of visitors from all over the world will converge on Cape Town in just a few weeks and have to put up with this appalling service Posted on 2 Apr 2010 22:23
