[1] Oliver Modi, the former President of the Union of Journalists of South Sudan is Managing Director of Equator Broadcasting Corporation (EBC).
He was first appointed as Acting Managing Director in a Gubernatorial Decree No.01/2022 issued on January 4, 2022,[2] by Central Equatoria State Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony.
While its mandate is not restricted to information and socio-cultural development, its programming and coverage is designed to appeal to its audience making it do its work with concern for quality that distinguishes it from other commercial and public broadcasters.
The news coverage, feature stories, analytical talk shows, edutainment programmes, drama and documentaries all aim at bringing the desired change to cover issues as they break: political, economic and business, current affairs, governance, and nation-building, sports, weather and spiritual.
Clement Wani Konga, former Governor of Central Equatoria State, announced the launch of the new Equator Broadcasting Corporation in Juba on July 6, 2015.
