SUVA (Pacific Media Watch / MAI Life magazine): Fiji free-to-air and privately-owned broadcaster Mai TV (Fiji) Limited has appointed Marc Santos as its general manager, replacing the functions of its founder and managing director Richard Broadbridge.
Santos, who currently is head of the digital pay-TV service DIGI TV in Tonga, joins Mai TV later this month to take the reigns of the free-to-air channel and its subsidiary revenue streams, according to MAI Life magazine's facebook page.
Santos has considerable experience in content acquisition, planning and senior management with Digicel Tonga with some of his larger acquisitions being SANZAR Rugby and Trans-Tasman Netball rights for Tonga.
“I’m thrilled to be taking on this challenge. I understand the pressures Mai TV is under and I’m confident I can assist the group with its growth in Fiji and other parts of the region," Santos said.
Broadbridge will no longer run day-to-day operations of the business and has instead begun the growth of his production arm SKYLITE Productions into new territories, including Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
Under the trading name of Click Pacific Limited, Broadbridge will lead the establishment of a new business in Papua New Guinea focussing on television production and its digital signage arm Click.
