Despite a successful season on local community TV station, CTV and ITV internationally, the Friday Sermon, which was a broadcast of the Friday Jumuah service has come to an end. It will be replaced by a new 30 minute talk show with Faizal Sayed. The Faizal Sayed Show will air at 7.30pm on Friday evenings on CTV.
32-year old Sayed who also produces the show, started his TV career in 2001 by working on a number of productions for SABC, ETV, ITV, CTV, Asian fusion and ICN. But he always had the desire to host his own show. "The idea was always there and people always pushed me in that direction. I believe in using a platform like this for the benefit of the people," said Sayed who rose to popularity with shows like Ramadaan at 4.
"Faizal's forte is panel discussions and one sees this during recordings, his ability to articulate in discussions and a natural ability to get lots of information and relax very nervous guest," said Ahmed Mohamed, operations manager at Faizal Sayed Media. The open format of the show allows it to cover important topics, review productions, authors, businesses and much more.
"We will focus on hardcore matters as I believe that only in this way can we look at problem areas, find solutions and educate the public on various issues," Sayed said, adding that since the show was promoted on the internet, feedback already began pouring in with suggestions on issues that could be tackled. The date for airing the first episode will be released shortly. More details at www.fsma.co.za
