It was May 14, 2018 when Eyewitness News aired its first television newscast for those who tuned in to Cable channel 224 or BTC’s Flow TV, channel 112. It was an exciting time for the company’s reporters, editors and producers, who had been honing their skills for months – covering assignments, practicing stand-ups, writing reports and producing a nightly newscast, all with the view of ensuring that once the product was aired live on TV, it would trump the competition, and it did just that.
One year later, as Eyewitness News celebrated its anniversary yesterday, our Apryl Sands gave viewers a behind the scenes look at our newsroom, of how the news is gathered and prepared daily, and the excitement that is relived every single day to ensure that we not only get the news to you first, but we get it right.
