Double bill for Bondiplus, Net News anchor to head Church radio news

Lou Bondì gets two programmes a week on PBS. Net News anchor Josianne Camilleri moves to Church radio RTK.

Church radio RTK has engaged the former Net News journalist Josianne Camilleri as their new head of news.

Camilleri was reported to have given in her resignation at the PN’s television station, where she has anchored the news, last week.

Internal interviews at RTK provided no suitable candidate to take over the position of head of news after Leonard Callus stepped down from the position.

Instead, an external call for applications saw Camilleri take up the role.

In other developments on the media front, Where’s Everybody? director Lou Bondì gets to present Bondiplus twice a week on national station TVM as from October.

Eileen Montesin will also be shifting her fictional drama Dejà Vu to Net TV. Her other drama KC  was aired on TVM with a peak audience of 58,000. Dejà Vu now competes with Deceduti producers Take 2’s Min Imissu? to be aired on TVM.

TVM has lost Andrea Cassar’s Liquorish to Labour station One TV. “It was a natural step for us to strengthen our yearly growth in these last seven years,” producer Warren Brimmer said.

On the other hand, TVM will be airing Watermelon Productions’s Purée which moves from Net TV while Carlo Borg Bonaci is to present quiz show Kwizzun before the 8pm news. He also moves from Net. Kontra l-Hin loses Borg Bonaci and gets Josef Bonello as its new quizmaster.

Bonello – presenter of TVM’s breakfast show Bongu of last schedule – will also present Bejni u Bejnek, a half-hour interview show.

Veteran TV presenter Claudette Pace, today a spokesperson for the health ministry, returns to the box with her mainstay midday variety Sellili on TVM, which replaces Ray Calleja’s 12:05 midday slot. Sellili is produced by 12:05’s Dee Media.

Calleja instead joins Larissa Bonaci on One TV with news satire show Illostra.

Women to the fore on One TV’s Ilsien in-Nisa, taking the evening 9:45 slot and presented by sisters Clare and Pauline Agius, Moira Delia, Zoo comedy troupe’s Claire Agius Ordway, and Mariella Scerri.

Former One TV chairman Michael Vella Haber is producing fiction D.R.E.A.M.S on TVM and retains Emlija on One.

ponderosa, what are you thinking? Next you will be telling us that a flying saucer has landed at the PL camp and taken Muscat away. RTK is church run, the Nationalists have nothing to do with it and have no influence here. I agree that the PN are using PBS as an extention of their PR arms but not RTK gbin. Both the PL and the PN should shut their radio stations and close their newspapers down.

It appears that the PN is strengthening its media coverage by planting Ms Josianne Camilleri in the RTK newsroom as Head of News, nonetheless! This only confirms the common belief that the bond between the Church and the Nationalist Party is still very strong. It appears that the Church, through RTK is going out on a limb to help its favourite political party, now that the election is on the horizon. I wonder what one would find should one start to investigate how this prestigious post was awarded! Is Ms. Camilleri qualified for this job? Besides being blue what other qualification does one need to have to head the newsroom at RTK? A Masters in Journalism perhaps? A Master's in Communication? Or something simiilar? Does Ms Camilleri come into this category? Is it possible that nobody presently working at RTK is qualified enough to run the newsroom? Shame on the Catholic Church in Malta!

Issa vera cara daqs il-kristal fejn thabbat qalb ir-radio tal-KNISJA l-RTK, issa zgur li demmhom BLU u ghajnejhom BLU ukoll jaraw. L-Arciskof x'qieghed jaghmel hemm, dawn l-affarijiet ma jafx bihom? X'passi se jiehu meta jara l-RTK kollu BLU? Jiena minn dejjem kont naghmel dak li qal Kristu li naghtu li Cesare dak li hu ta' Cesare u lil Alla dak li hu ta' Alla imma issa daqshekk fil-koffina tal-gabra tal-knisja jew l-envelopes li jgibulna kull hmistax. Ma jistax ikun li jiena nkompli nissussidja lil min jara BLU biss. U jiena zgur li hawn hafna u hafna se jaghmlu bhali. F'idejk issa Arcisqof tiehux passi jew le wara kollox l-RTK suppost hu ta' kullhadd mhux tal-PN biss.

Bdejna bl-istrategija ghal battalja tat-2013. Bdiet il-loghba tac-cess fejn it-telliefa se tkun id-demokrazjija u l-liberta'. Qieghed inghid hekk ghax wara kwart ta' seklu fil-gvern, il-PN sar dittatur u jara lill-kulhadd dubbien. Partit arroganti li ma jismghax it-tneghid u l-weghat ta' poplu.

Tiskanta donnu fl-RTK nazzjonalisti biss japplikaw. U tghid mhux se jhallu xi laburist fil kamra ta l-ahbarijiet ta l-RTK? L-anqas fattiga ma jhalluh !!!!!!! Din hija montatura biex kollox u kull stazzjon ikun ikkordinat ghal elezzjoni.,Ikkordinat jigifieri struzzjonijiet mill Pieta. L-RTK huwa pjattaforma ghal PN, ma ninsewx il kaz ta dr Moran. L-arcisqof irrid jara u jghati struzzjonijiet ta policy. Skond is surveys l-RTK lura sejjer kemm ilu Chairman mhux sacerdot. Wara kollox dan huwa Radjy Ta Kullhadd.

PBS is positioning itself to give a better push to GONZIPN's propaganda machine now that the clock is ticking fast and the countdown to the elections will soon commence! Watch it PL, there is no limit to which these friends of friends will bend over backwards to retain their grip on power.
