Gambia Plans Digital Upgrade for State TV Station.
The Gambia wants to improve its state TV and radio. Dr Ismaila Ceesay, the Information Minister, shared these plans at a news meeting.
He said GRTS, the state broadcaster, will undergo modern changes to match world standards. The minister also discussed an $11 million project to improve TV signals across the country.
Ceesay said this big project needs quick action. It aims to change old TV signals into new digital ones. Lamin Saidykhan from Gambia Digital Limited said they want TV signals to reach the whole nation.
The government seeks money help from private companies for this work. Officials from several departments talk about ways to pay for it, Saidykhan added.
But GRTS head Abdoulie Sey said his station already makes clear pictures. "Our tools are modern. We make HD shows," he said. He pointed out that GRTS uses digital gear, not old machines.
The station wants better ways to send TV signals to homes. This marks a fresh step for broadcasting in The Gambia as leaders push toward more modern media services.
