Vieira declines comment on VCT sale report

Owner of VCT Channel 28 Anthony Vieira last evening refused to confirm or deny reports that he is in the process of selling his television station to a local entrepreneur.

“I don’t have to comment on that,” Vieira told Stabroek News when contacted last evening and asked if he was indeed selling the television station. Sources say a formal deal was to be signed this week.

Vieira, a PNCR-1G Member of Parliament is regarded as a pioneer of the television industry in Guyana. The Evening News, which is aired on the television station, is also one of the oldest television newscasts.
