A PRIVATE television station, 1st TV, is expected to be launched in Zimbabwe 
tomorrow 
using the free-to-air channels formerly used by South African Broadcasting 
Corporation (SABC) channels on Wiztech decoders.

The station, which will start broadcasting at 6pm tomorrow, would end the 
monopoly by 
State broadcaster Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC).

In an interview yesterday from South Africa, the television’s senior 
presenter/producer Temba Hove said they were ready to roll local and 
international 
programmes on the station and would not be biased towards any political party.

“We will be airing on Wiztech where SABC was broadcasting on. We are taking 
over and 
we will be on Wiztech,” Hove said.

“1st TV will provide impartial, factual news to the people of Zimbabwe as well 
as 
broadcasting popular soap operas and comedies.”

The team comprises Hove, a former ZBC staffer, Shortwave Radio Africa’s Violet 
Gonda 
and executive producer Andrew Chadwick.

Thousands of Zimbabweans own Wiztech decoders and the move will come as good 
news to 
them.

“With the recent loss of SABC from the platform, Zimbabweans have once again 
been at 
the mercy of the dire production standards and biased reporting of the State 
media.

“33 years after independence, it is high time that the people got what they 
demand 
and deserve in respect of their right to information and that is the role that 
1st TV 
will play,” the statement read.
