Georgetown : China for China Central Television (CCTV) will be broadcasting 24 hour in Guyana after a deal was signed.
State media National Television Network (NCN) Chief Executive Officer Mohammed Sattaur and Economic and Commercial Counsellor at the Chinese Embassy in Guyana Dr Ouyang Jun signed the agreement.
Sattaur said at the time of the initial agreement the option of a 24 hour broadcast was brainstormed.
The Chinese counterparts had then proposed to supply the facilities for the satellite up-link down-link transmitter and a control room for management of the broadcast.
“NCN agreed that once the equipment is provided, and the Government of Guyana grants a licence for broadcast we will manage the station… that is the basis of the agreement that we have signed here today,” Sattaur said. He envisioned that the project will be completed with the New Year and credited the endeavour to the Chinese Government, the aim of which is to bring news and information about China to the populace which includes a small percentage of Chinese nationals.
With the 24-hour broadcast the Chinese Counsellor said the Chinese community in Guyana will be receiving sound information about the events that made the news in the Asian continent.
