Pacific Cooperation Broadcasting Limited (PCBL) engaged high calibre trainers Telemedia Services to design and deliver a training programme that could assist the broadcasters to optimise the use of their new equipment. Conducting training at the premises of the Pacific free-to-air broadcasters enabled more staff to have the opportunity to attend the training workshops and the trainers were able to demonstrate how to integrate the new equipment with the existing set up at each station. The provision of equipment and associated training was extremely well received, prompting demand from other broadcasters across the Pacific who heard about the programme.
