FIRST LOOK. Red Rover, come over











Only I have these pics and can show you what e.tv's new front entrance and lobby looks at e.tv headquarters in Hyde Park.

Not too shabby hey, Nige? Spoke to Michelle Kirby, head of marketing at e.tv about what the makeover entailed. Michael Gill is responsible for the design (he also did the studios for the eNews Channel (DStv channel 403) as well as that magnificent set for All Access on M-Net).

The central, circular reception desk - all wood paneling and glass and metal, might remind you of Ugly Betty. The glass and perspex red and transparent screens incorporated into the design and layout is amazing. It really makes e.tv look like a TV station. Compared to the other broadcasters in the country when you visit their lobbies, e.tv now wins hands down.
