In yet another high-level eNCA (DStv 403) defection, Nisa Allie has resigned to exit eMedia's TV news channel after 13 years where she has lately been part of eNCA's senior management team, as regional manager of eNCA in the Western Cape from Cape Town.
Sources told TVwithThinus that the highly-respected, competent and well-liked Nisa Allie resigned in mid-August.
We can confirm that she has resigned," an eMedia spokesperson told TVwithThinus on Wednesday.
Asked for comment from e.tv's side about her departure and what Nisa Allie has contributed to the company, eMedia said that it has no official comment at this stage.
Nisa Allie worked climbed the ranks inside eNCA and e.tv as an eNCA assignments editor since May 2008 when she joined from Primedia where she was a producer and reporter.
Nisa Allie moved to the position of Cape Town news editor at eNCA and was instrumental in the creation of the Open News TV channel in late-2018 for eMedia's Openview free-to-air satellite pay-TV service as Open News managing director.
Despite its initial lofty goals, Open News that started off with a slate of original news programming during the afternoons and prime time supported by the existing e.tv news division, didn't last long and morphed into the more toned-down eNews & Sport channel on Openview.
