The couple will be holding an open house at the new Backstreet location of TV15, today (Friday) and tomorrow, Saturday, to show all the possibilities that are currently available in St. Maarten for a local television production.
Friday’s open house is exclusively for government officials and business owners. The following day, on Saturday, is for the general public, who are invited to get an up close and personal insight into how local programs are produced and also how they can produce programs themselves. Visitors will be challenged or take up any of the many opportunities available to work in the TV/broadcast and production field.
Veteran TV broadcaster, Ricardo William, will hold down the position of Executive Producer of Orion Production Studio, bringing to the fore more than 16 years of broadcasting, local news production, switching, and videography. Wife Altagracia, will be handling the management and administrative aspects of the operation.
The former owner and operators of AVS News have been working on a new format for TV15 ever since taking over the channel that provides local programming for the St. Maarten telecommunication company’s TelTV.
