KITTS, AUGUST 11TH 2005 - St. Kitts is in for some heavy publicity when the island is promoted to millions of viewers on Britains Channel Four TV later this month.
A team of 27 persons, including a five-person camera crew and two producers from Channel Four, will arrive at the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport on Saturday aboard EXCELs weekly London-Gatwick to St. Kitts flight.
The top presenters, Stephen Jones and Miquita Oliver, will be accompanied by the finalists in the Me 4 T4 presenter search competition, in which viewers were asked to send in a tape of themselves presenting. After over 1500 entries, a shortlist of 30 was drawn up for the regional finals taking place across Britain.
The Communications Unit in the Office of the Prime Minister has learned that a heavy programme has been organised for the Channel Four crew, which will ensure that all of their activities on St. Kitts are filmed. A helicopter has also been hired for a few hours to record fantastic aerial scenes of the island.
