The state broadcasting company, Public Service Media (PSM), yesterday announced plans to create an English language international TV channel called ‘Maldives’ in 2016.
Speaking at a function held at the official presidential residence Muleeage to launch a magazine called ‘Maldeeb,’ PSM managing director Ibrahim Khaleel said the new channel can be viewed anywhere in the world.
The channel will feature programmes about Maldivian history and the resort industry as well as information about the Maldives.
Khaleel said PSM will prioritise hiring Maldivian youth to operate the channel, but resources and expertise unavailable in the Maldives will be sought from overseas.
