South Carolina ETV


In an effort to highlight important issues in the state of South Carolina, ETV holds a FORUM show. The format of the show is much like an interactive town meeting. All studio audience members are stakeholders on a chosen topic and encouraged to actively participate in the discussion. Guests are asked to interject; adding their own questions, comments, or concerns. We invite guests from all sides of a particular issue to ensure equal representation. Beryl Dakers is the host and facilitator.
