After silence from 1KZN and TopTV since the addition of the 1KZN community television station to TopTV's platform this past weekend, 1KZN has responded to media enquiries with a press release.
''KwaZulu-Natal community television station 1KZN was added to the satellite broadcaster TopTV's offering on 2 September 2011,'' says Edwin Mncwango, 1KZN station manager. ''As a community station we want to provide the content and insights to unite the people of KwaZulu-Natal. Now we are able to do so, as people from across the country with roots in KwaZulu-Natal can stay in touch and in tune with what's going on back home.''
''The inclusion in the TopTV offering also allows 1KZN to showcase the wonders of the province and its culture to people who might not have the opportunity to visit the province. And of course the whole of South Africa will now be able to sample and enjoy our dynamic and relevant programming,'' says Edwin Mncwango.
''In July 1KZN was awarded a seven-year class licence by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa). For the fledgling station to be included on the TopTV satellite bouquet a few months later is a great honour and a huge opportunity.''
