3.14.4 Operations CTV has the following operations: (i) it was launched in September 2006 by over 100 NGOs and went on air in September 2009; (ii) it broadcasts 24 hours a day to a monthly cumulative viewership of 1,5 million viewers, largely based on the Cape Flats; (ii) it employs a total of 32 staff (including interns) and it engages up to 100 volunteers per annum in various capacities; and (iii) it has its own office space but utilises studios owned by partners such as AFDA and the University of the Western Cape (UWC). However, this is not a suitable arrangement and the station is trying to raise funds to set up its own studio.
