The Media Institute for Southern Africa (MISA) -Zambia has joined other organisations and foreign observers in praising MUVI TV station for fair and balanced coverage of the 2016 general elections.
MISA Zambia Chairperson Helen Mwale said MUVI TV station deserves to be commended for covering elections in a balanced manner to the satisfaction of stakeholders.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka today, Ms Mwale urged both public and private Media to emulate MUVI TV of how the media should operate in a democratic country such as Zambia.
Ms Mwale said MUVI TV covered the August 11, 2016 elections in a balanced manner before, during and after the voting exercise.
She however, also said MISA Zambia is disappointed with some sections of the Media that decided not to report the 2016 elections in a balanced manner.
She also said MISA Zambia is further dismayed with some community and privately owned radio stations for taking political sides in the coverage of this year’s elections.
Ms Mwale charged that said such media institutions are a disgrace to the media fraternity.
The Trade Union movement in the country and some foreign observer missions praised MUVI TV station for fair and balanced coverage of the 2016 general elections.
We dont watch Muvi tv because of their earlier opinion on this years elections.
MISA you are wrong on this one. MATUVI tv is very biased towards UPND.
I have not watched muvi TV since the last presidential bye-election.

MISA you are alone in this one ….Muvi is pro Upnd and costa mwansa was promised the position of press aid …..aloba ilyauma.
“Since when did Museveni start suppyling medicine to Zambia??????????”
Useless Muvi they owe people money who did a kids viewership survey last year,imagine from last year Muvi has failed to clear their balances and yet they always report about companies failing to pay their workers..idiots
Movie TV is useless and we all know it supports upnd, as for miss……kuwaya waya fye
I DO NOT TRUST BA MUVI TV. THEY ARE TOO BIASED FOR FOR GOMBE ILEDE. THEY ARE JUST THE SAME AS BA WATCHDOG. WHILE OTHER MEDIA COVERAGE IS TO SEE WHO WINS. THEIR (MUVI TV) COVERAGE IS TO SEE THAT HH AND UPND WINS. SO, THAT IS NOT THE DEVELOPMENT TOOL WE NEED IN ZAMBIA. WE NEED UNBIASED TOOLS.
Any media that does not show lungu and his wife dununaring 24/7 is biased against PF.
Very balanced news unlike dead NBC with man without head and neck as Chief news editor.
Press will never be kingmaker again. People are now jacked up. They will just see your lies and laugh away when you give the your back. Upnd must try another strategy using misa post muvi to peddle lies will just bring you under.
Uyowine namwale nao ni UPND, very useless bonse fye
PEOPLE LETS LEAN TO APPRECIATE AND GIVE CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE

Muvi are preparing UPND to have another Tonga successor for the party!
I truly & surely miss Zambia watchdog. PF cadres will only wakeup when pangs of hunger strikes on them & it won’t be long.
Pls WATCHDOG have your servers in neighbouring countries where PFools can’t pop their URGLY noises.
