The Fiji TV holding company also reported a decrease in profit in the year ended 30th June.

Company chairman Padam Lala says the results are adequate given the challenges and economic conditions faced in different areas of operation in the Pacific.

He adds the depreciation of the Kina during the year had a significant impact.

Lala says the board is undertaking more aggressive actions to ensure the Fiji TV Group delivers results.
