They were also taken to the functions of the control room for TV programmes directed by Kessben.

As part of the tour, the Sisters learnt that Kessben TV and Radio use both Twi and English to satisfy the desire and needs of the target audience.

The Sisters were also shown the server room where the Internet works or where power is supplied to the Internet to be able to work effectively.

They also visited the radio room meant for only radio programmes during which Sisters had the privileged to use some of the gadgets as a practical experience which the Sisters described as wonderful and educative.
