eNCA Adds Couch to Set

eNCA (DStv 403), SA's mosy watched local news channel, has added  a new orange couch, with cusions to its set in front of the large screen towards the right of the main set from where News Night is done.

The couch setup, which seems to be sponsored by Mweb and referred to by the hashtag #MWEBTweetSeat, replaces the standing desk that has traditionally been used from the large screen. These days, the large screen is mainly used for Sports reports, though it is regularly used for other news and special reports.

The #MWEBTweetSeat also has its own Twitter account promoting the account and displaying tweets from not only this, but also other Tweet Seats (The seats make it easier for its sitter to tweet). More here: MWeb launches #MWEBTweetSeat to comment on soccer

This is, however, not the first time the channel has used couches in its main eNCA studio as they tested using blue couches from the same position for 'softer' segments a few years back.

No word on how long the couch will be on air for.

It has also been seen on SABC News' Morning Live with Leanne Manas:
