“Very soon, we are going to launch a video portal and a photo portal. As of now, subscribers get photo by e-mail, but we are going to put everything online, so that they can easily access it.

“We are also going to upload into that portal all our historic photographs, because we have them in the archives.

“NAN has facilities to do video interviews and television interviews and run like a normal television station, even though we don’t have a television licence.

“So we have all the facilities that can make this possible,’’ Onanuga said.
