Beyond the Newsroom: A Commercial Media Arm*
Yummy News247 TV is not only reporting events, it’s also covering them.
Photography & Videography:The team offers media coverage for weddings, introduction ceremonies (Kwanjula), and private photoshoots. This gives the channel income and keeps camera crews active between news assignments.
Event Advertisements:It also promotes local businesses, bakeries, and function decorators within Kampala. For small vendors who can’t afford TV ads, a Facebook live mention or TikTok clip is a cheaper way to get customers.
