The trial run, which
starts at 6 p.m. and lasts for four hours, will feature an exciting mix of
programming. There will be news in English and Kweyol, as well as features
dealing with domestic, Caribbean and international issues of interest and relevance to St. Lucians.
“Our role, however, extends beyond that,” Charles added. “For example, we intend
to actively contribute to our cultural development by providing local producers
with an outlet to broadcast their products. As a result, St. Lucians will see
more television programmes which reflect their own images, perspectives and
experiences.”
The introduction of the Channel 2 service forms part of Government’s efforts to improve public awareness and understanding of its operations, programmes and policies through the timely delivery of accurate information to St. Lucians at home and abroad, as well as others with an interest in St. Lucia. |
