TV Industry Emergency Coalition (TVIEC)

One of the interesting findings of our research programme has been that the SABC and its commissioning processes really do no favours to Producers generally, and to Producers in Durban / KZN in particular. And it's coming to light that the way the SABC does business (sllooooowwwww payments) is potentially prejudicial to the development of South African content AND South African production capabilities.



In response, the TV Industry Emergency Coalition (TVIEC) will be holding manned protests at the SABC offices in JHB and Cape Town today - June 4th. However, you can still get involved in KZN, by simply sending an SMS. Says the TVEIC:

We will be calling on South Africa to send an SMS that tells the SABC what people think of the current crisis. We will collate these comments and deliver them to the powers that be as well as the media. The number to send to: 31970. Your SMS must start with the word TV. SMS’s are charged at 50 cents.

Have your say. But make sure you include KZN in the text!
