Triangle and Stratos to go inside world of disabilities

People with disabilities know all about the practicalities and even the politics that affect their world.

But as a new series to screen on Triangle and Stratos Television shows, there is a lighter side to living with disabilities – in fact it can be downright hysterical.

“No Limits”, an Australia-made, funky and upbeat series put together by people with disabilities for people with disabilities will screen on Triangle and Stratos Television from August 9.

Triangle and Stratos founder, Jim Blackman says the No Limits series is a perfect match with one of the channels’ goals - to provide New Zealanders access to material that may not otherwise get airplay, especially in a commercial environment.

“When I first watched this show I was riveted to the screen,” Blackman says. “Both the presenters and the stories are television that will have wide appeal – not just to the disabled community.”

No Limits will screen on Sundays at 9pm on Triangle and 8pm on Stratos from August 9.
