PEOPLE of Wainibuka in Tailevu now have better access to eight free-to-air channels offered by the new digital broadcasting platform Walesi.
The TV platform introduced in Naveicovatu in Wainibuka yesterday was officially launched by Ministry of Communication and Information Technology permanent secretary Deborah Weiss.
