SUVA (Fiji Broadcasting Corporation/Pacific Media Watch): If you have been trying to voice your grievances and were unsuccessful in doing so, then FBC TV's new show 15 Minutes of Fame will soon give you a chance to raise your concerns.

Producer Clarence Dass says this is a show which will involve everyone in society.

Dass says through this show, 15 people will be given one minute each to say something on any social issue.

“We have a show called 15 Minutes of Fame, where we take 15 different people and we give them a minute each and they can talk about any issue they want.

"It can be anything you want, social issue or a concern you have. May be you have got a bad road in the neighbourhood and want to highlight this to us.

"It does not have to be all complaints; it can be about something that you are happy about and we will record this little segment where you can say anything you want.”

FBC TV will be launched on Friday.
