Radio/TV AP: Network studio to be operational soon Our Bureau
Hyderabad , July 22 THE Andhra Pradesh Government, which has initiated an ambitious project that leverages the satellite KU band to beam developmental programmes including education content, will commission a Rs 8-crore AP Network studio in the next three months. This television and related software studio, now coming up at the Dr B.R. Ambedkar Open University premises here, will enable the AP Network to use three more channels for telecast of educational programme by Mana TV channel. This will also help the network increase the duration of the programmes and also broaden the content, according to the State Information Minister, Mr S. Chandra Mohan Reddy. Addressing newspersons here today after participating in an interactive educational programme that involved the principals and staff of different police training colleges and the State Forensic Laboratory, Mr Reddy said the State Chief Minister, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, was keen to reach this network to all the mandals in the State. The Chief Executive Officer of AP Network, Mr K. Ravikanth, said that the temporary studio of Mana TV would be ready in the first week of August and the necessary equipment would be procured on rent. Following this arrangement, the city centre of Mana TV channel would be located in the college of Home Science here. The AP Network was keen to convert this facility from merely beaming programmes into a source of revenue generation from various user agencies. Once all the six channels become operational, it will be possible to broadbase the reach and also provide diverse content, Mr Ravikanth said. The State Department of Agriculture and the developmental project Velugu were evincing interest in the Mana TV channel, the Minister said.
