Over the two day Papal visit by Pope Francis in Malta, TVM and TVMNews+ audiences exceeded 328,000 people, with followers of tvmnews.mt amounting to 220,000 people.
The broadcasts consisted of a daytime programme and news bulletins covering the entire visit. A 27-hour broadcast involved several people, with live links from around 20 different locations.
The two programmes on TVM News Plus reached an audience of 328,000 pope over two days. They both ended with two 8pm news bulletins.
Head of News at PBS, Norma Saliba, said that as soon as the date of the Pope’s arrival was announced, the entire team of journalists and the PBS technical crew immediately got to work on all preparations that were needed to enable us deliver the broadcasts as we saw last weekend.
‘We derived satisfaction from those who watch and from the feedback they gave us but it is also gratifying for me that all journalists and those all those involved have shown how professional they are, and just how worthy the national station is of giving such broadcasts of national interest’ she said.
The physical attendances of Papal visits in various areas on the island also saw thousands of people. The final Floriana Granaries mass saw 12,000 attendees.
