Georgia’s TV33 went back on the air in the country’s capital, Tblisi, on 29 December 2006, according to the channel’s Managing Director, Hans von Sachsen-Altenburg.
von Sachsen-Altenburg told the AIB that TV-33 was bought in early 2006 by an investors group from America, England, Germany and Georgia.
With permission of Georgian media regulator, the GNCC, TV33 temporarily ceased to broadcast in October pending reorganization.
The channel, which covers greater Tbilisi, will provide traditional and modern programs from various providers, including direct broadcast from Germany provided by Deutsche Welle. In addition to open broadcast, TV33 will also be carried on Ayeti Cable TV.
“TV33 will at first provide a holiday program and normal programming thereafter”, said Hans von Sachsen-Altenburg.
