if OTV wants to succeed, they have to do their best and excel in using their limited resources, and this is one of the solutions that OTV should embrace not just to fill the time, but also to mature as a station and to reconcile with a big part of its potential audience.
i am very aware that OTV is still a young station, but that's not an excuse for committing a series of deadly mistakes that alienated half its audience and made unable to play soft propaganda to our opponents, you cannot influence the opinions of others if they dont stop to listen to what you've gotta say.
OTV is not progressing correctly, it is an obvious mouthpiece for FPM, and even at that it is failing dramatically, it is not projecting a good image of our party; it is not too late to correct that; but i have yet to see a sign that there is gonna be a change. OTV will be a much more effective tool for FPM when it stops being so obviously orange.
I think the main problem to overcome at the moment is giant egos, once people get to admit their shortcomings they can easily progress from there, but i can assure you that if anyone from the OTV board or staff runs across this thread, they will perceive it as a stab to their ego instead of a genuine attempt to help them make things better both for OTV and FPM. |
Absolutely right DA !! Renewing OTV should be part of a complete renewal process of FPM. Our fellows who are currently in charge of OTV and many other FPM committees and groups do not need to take this personal, but it is a must to have a new look for FPM and a new way to transmit our message. Relying on GMA alone and his press conferences after the C&R meetings was recently proven to be insufficient. We need to think of more efficient means to let us closer to the people and to attract bigger audience.
It is also urgent that OTV finds a way to broadcast in the diaspora at cheap and affordable prices. The brainwash that the expatriates have been exposed to over the past three years costed us the elections
