Telkom TV calls for local content briefs
Telkom Media has published its first round of briefs for the production of local content, as well as a guide to its standard Terms of Trade for acquiring local content.
The briefs can be accessed on www.telkommedia.co.za under: 'Content Proposals'.
Early in 2008 the company will conduct face to face briefings with producers to outline Telkom Media's future plans and requirements.
Further details about the face-to-face briefings will be announced in January 2008.
Telkom Media have one of the four ICASA satelite pay-TV licenses and are the front runner in this race with R7-billion in pocket money to fund the whole enterprise, according to Maverick magazine's lead story this month on Telkom Media TV.
Poaching staff from all the other broadcasters, including high profile appointments such as Solly Mokoetle, chief operating officer of SABC and Jimi Matthews who will be head of news, as well as a slew of technical staff from Multichoice, according to Maverick, this new media powerhouse is going to be a force to be reckoned with.
