PNG broadcaster eyes Tonga TV station

Papua New Guinea's Click TV has started negotiations to purchase a licence to operate in the kingdom.

Click TV's Richard Broadbridge arrived in Tonga Thursday to hold talks with potential partners. The move was welcomed independent radio broadcaster, Maka Tohi.

“A second TV station will allow for more local content and non-government broadcast material," Tohi said.

“It's a huge challenge for non-state entities to find space on the government station.

“Hopefully an independent commercial station will give us space to produce and broadcast local material.”
