Managers: Rully Said, Herman Yoseph Ferdy (basic PR communication), Bernard Lazar (basic journalism), Rini Kartini (basic broadcasting).
Maumere TV started with an idea from Rully and Ferdy, who saw that increasingly sophisticated technology, especially mobile phone technology with audio-visual media, was changing journalism. Ferdy thought of creating journalistic content, which at that time was still not considered to be a viable business idea in the region.
Rully who has a lot of experience in the field of journalism, and had worked at the large multinational, “Reuters”, recruited Rini Kartini to the concept and management role. He was also supported by Bernard who had basic journalism knowledge, and Ferdy with his communication skills, and together they developed Facebook-based television, featuring local content from the Sikka district of East Nusa Tenggara.
Maumere TV in addition to presenting Sikka News, and programs such as Citizen Journalism, Citizen Journalism Guidelines, and Our Figures and Perspectives, also provides advertising columns for people who want to advertise businesses or notices.
Maumere TV is currently developing mobile journalism to enable freelance reporters or staff to use portable devices such as smartphones, tablets, digital cameras or laptops to collect, photograph, broadcast live, edit, or share news. News can then be sent to the newsroom or can be shared instantly on social media by Mojo.
Maumere TV is housed in Imagination production house, which creates audio-visual content, produces company profiles, advertorials, commercial advertisements, public service announcements, television mini documentaries and music shows. Imagination has also built partnerships with important institutions in the Flores and Adonara regions, who produce magazines, books, magazine layouts and poster designs.
As Maumere TV has grown, public appreciation was so good that several times it was invited as a speaker in TV journalism to provide training in schools and colleges. Likewise, in November 2018 Maumere TV had the opportunity to present at the International Consortium in Jakarta to discuss the Disaster Risk Reduction issue.
