C. Sulawesi to build new TV station

PALU, Central Sulawesi: The people of Central Sulawesi moved a
step closer to getting a community television station after the
provincial government approved plans for the station.

"Central Sulawesi Governor Ponulele has provisionally approved
the project," Nawawi Sang Kilat, secretary of the provincial
legislative council's Commission A for governmental affairs, said
on Wednesday.

According to Nawawi, the governor had asked the legislative
council to include the funds needed for the TV station in the
2003 draft budget.

The planned Rp 1.5 billion TV station is expected to help the
local government promote the province, as do similar stations in
Bali, Riau and Papua. -- Antara
