Thirty television crew from the six local television stations are to undergo a seven-day training in France beginning next week to build their capacity ahead of January's MTN African Cup of Nations.

State broadcaster, Ghana Television and private networks, TV3, Metro TV, Net2, TV Africa and Takoradi based, Skyy TV will send five representatives each to the French capital, Paris, to be trained by Sportfive, the company that owns the television and broadcast rights for Ghana 2008.

The crew will be exposed to trends in the operation of outdoor broadcast equipments and international standard television production.

The practical training is also expected to adequately position Ghana Television to handle the live production of matches from Tamale - one of the tournament venues - on behalf of Sportfive. The team will depart on December 5.
