Jacques van der Merwe, the project manager, said that the state-of-the-art studio situated in Commercial Close, an industrial area off Knysna Road, is a Christian based, family friendly TV channel that will focus on the talent of the people of the Southern Cape.
"The market segment that we are aiming at is the large Afrikaans speaking population of the area as well as English speaking people. Initially we will establish the business and training infrastructure."
Once up and running, Hartland will be screened on the Sentech Free Vision Decoder channel.
The studio will serve as the home base for local productions and the content will be marketed both locally and internationally.
