Muluzi’s Joy TV to start telecasting: eNews’ Liwewe train presenters
Malawi’s former president Bakili Muluzi’s aspirations to run Joy-TV alongside Joy FM radio, which were thwarted when Malawi government switched off the television broadcasting, has been given a lifeline as the country’s first private television station will re-start its transmission.
Muluzi said on Monday that Joy Media Group which also owns Joy Radio want the Joy TV to be “professional and credible television station”.
He was speaking at an orientation course for Joy TV presenters and news readers conducted by Kwangu Liwewe of the eNews Channel Africa and Jane [Banda] Gogodus – formerly of MBC TV.
Liwewe is an African television journalist of considerable repute. Her journalism career kicked off when she was recruited to help pioneer Malawi’s first TV.
“You need to read more and keep up with changes in the industry which is now more competitive,” Muluzi advised.
Joy Station Manager, Lloyd Zawanda said they will roll out TV transmission and continue broadcasting their programmes with “ new digital equipments.”
In 2007, the Malawi government through the Malawi Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) removed broadcasting equipment from Mpingwe Hill, a few months after Joy-TV went live, claiming that the operator had no licence contrary to Joy Management who insisted that they radio licence had an extension that also allowed them to operate a TV station.
MACRA rewarded Joy TV the licence in 2012.
Public television and private radio stations only began broadcasting in Malawi in 1999, five years after the first democratic elections.
Bravo Joy TV!I can’t wait anymore.I am fed up with presidential diary repeats on MBC TV.But tell us when you will start Broadcasting.We’ve waited for long.
Inde, mwina atilembeko ntchito ya u presenter. Enafenso timathatu. Mukuwatchula a Gogodus chifukwa mwawamvera ndi kuwaonera kwa nthawi yaitali. Nanga ife mukutidziwa? Khalani pompo!
Even atandithira doom nkamwa, i cant vote for MCP.
Hozaa! Tcheya Umayitha Yakoyija
Whatever this does not change my mind set I will continue subscribing to DSTV so that i run away from political and tribalistic stations of this country
The plot by Dpp & UDF to bring PP on its knees !And to decampaign federalism!That’s APM funding
Nkhani yokoma zedi but a free piece of advicr, please konzekerani bwino ur launch coz it would be monotonous for us kuti nanunso mudzizati ” this is a test transmission, we will tell you when we start” izi ndizopusa coz chizungu chake si choyenera mass communication komans you cant keep saying this for 4 months, its a sign of ……………. !!!!!!! Congrants Joy Tv.
If Jane Gogodus is former MBC-Tv presenter, are you saying she has now joined Joy TV? If that is the case, then that is a good catch by Joy TV. The lady is a good news presenter, osati zinazi! Even before she went to serve in the Malawi foreign service, she was good at reading both English and Chichewa news bulletins. Osati anyamata a pa MIJ FM osadziwa kusiyanitsa pakati pa “reiterate and retaliate”. Kaya ma editors awo samamvera news before these boys and girls present the news to the public, kaya!! Anyway, timawakhululukira poti adakali pa training. Komabe ena ndi akale ndithu. Please change! Emulate the likes of Jane Gogodus.
Atcheya Woyeeeeee!!!! Wakwiya ndinfiti
Congratulations Joy TV. The name rhymes beautifully!!!
Yes, please since its digital beam it on DSTV so that it can have wider patronage.
I can foresee fireworks! Be professional like you have with the Radio.
Kuchitekete malyolyolyolyo!!!!!!!
uyo Loyd Zawanda amadana ndi MCP like nobodys’ bisiness. to him only him, udf, muluzi and atupele ndi amene amatha. chingerezi chothyokatchokacho
Probably you will NEVER appreciate why amadana ndi MCP.
Probably you were not born during MCP rule and
Probably you or your relatives never experienced the atrocities MCP committed for mere differing views.
Probably none of your relative was meat for crocodile
Probably you did not line up to clap hands for HKB from 6am to 9pm
Probably your relative were never followed by SB agents to conferences outside Malawi and that any meaningful contribution to the discussions earned you an arrest upon arrival at the airport and without trial.
Probably none of your relative experienced the Dzaleka, Mikuyu etc treatment.
Probably none of your relatives experienced house arrest without trial
Probably you never experienced the environment whereby people feared their own house walls
Probably none of your relations was dismissed from employment without cause and never to secure a job in MW until multiparty time. Evidence is Late Bingu who ran away from these ills the list is endless.
Probably you never experienced being beaten by wayufi or MYP for not carrying with you the MCP card and not allowed to proceed to go to the hospital or board a bus.
The list is endless. That is why you may never comprehend why he danas with MCP.
A lot of ills.
Kwangu Liwewe ……… ooooh yes… kuchitekete……

Private Radio stations were allowed to operate in Malawi in 1998 and not 1999. Please update your records. 101 FM with DJ Banton, Shingirai Mpesi, Hitman, Ngamanya Sapao and this lady I think Momo the Bad or something like that. 101 used to host lots of Benson & Hedges Shows. Titovanapo apa? eeetu- eeeeee!
Kaya zanu izo.
Ife timaonera independent tv station like Times and Zodiak.
They are not biaised like MBC (mulakho Braodcasting) and to be Joy Tv (Udf).
Hahahahaha!!!!! Komadi imene ija ndi Mulakho Broadcasting Corpotation (MBC).
Takunyadirani achair. This is what we have been waiting for.
