The SABC studios were fully resourced with latest equipment and it was the only region that broadcasts on Satellite. Management was in the process of upgrading the few studios that were still operating on analogue, Mhlobo Wenene being one of those studios. Furthermore, the SABC regional management has embarked on the process of upgrading and improving Mthatha studios. Studios will be revamped and digitized. An Outside Broadcast van will be bought to cover the former Transkei area. Upgrading of facilities will also be done at TruFM which will include a music recording studio that will assist communities in recording local talent. However, licence conditions remained a restricting factor for extending footage to surrounding areas.
