A tweet by the Premier about the Times Of India Film Awards show has led to some confusion. The morning after the show, Christy Clark tweeted '400 million people were watching TOIFA last night'. But eight hours before the event began, Clark aknowledged she knew the event would not be broadcast for at least another month.
Reporter: "It is going to be broadcast like a month after. Any concerns about that?
Christy Clark: "I don't, I don't"
The head of media for TOIFA, Laura Ballance, confirms the event will be aired by Sony at an unknown later date, "any of these awards shows, what they'll do is re-purpose it down into a TV package and then they'll advertise when that's going to be on and promote it the weeks to come. I don't have an exact date but I imagine we'll get one very, very soon."
She adds Sony's global entertainment reach is 400 million people. CKNW reached out to the Premier's office today about her tweet, we have not heard back.
