Tongan boss to head Fiji TV channel

Fiji’s Mai Television has appointed Marc Santos, Tonga’s current head of Digicel-owned DIGITV, as general manager of the free-to-air and privately- owned broadcasting service.

The company says "Santos has considerable experience in content acquisition, planning and senior management with Digicel Tonga with some of his larger acquisitions being SANZAR Rugby rights for Tonga."

“I’m thrilled to be taking on this challenge. I understand the pressures Mai TV is under and I’m confident I can assist the group with its growth in Fiji and other parts of the region," Santos said.

Santos is reportedly Tongan and he would take over the position shortly this month from the founder of Mai Television, Mr Broadbridge. Mr Broadbridge  under the trading name of Click Pacific Limited, will lead the establishment of a new business in Papua New Guinea focussing on television production and its digital signage arm Click.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
