BA TUNES INTO MAI TV FOR THE FIRST TIME
Another milestone was reached today when Mai TV engineers switched on a new transmitter to ensure access to Mai TV by thousands of people in the area.
MAI TV says a new one hundred Watt transmitter was installed near Ba delivering a promise made to the business community and people of Ba last year.
“We’re extremely proud to get this job done in time for Christmas. We’re confident our content will be liked by the people of Ba and Tavua” CEO Richard Broadbridge said.
Mai TV says it has a test pattern on air now and this will continue for 48 hours.

LIVE feed from Suva on Sunday or Monday.
