The thought of Africa as the Dark Continent is beautifully mystifying and should remain as so. Their should not be much Western or European influence because it will then very common and uninteresting.

Yeah, they’ll be serving them up to a US audience though. I imagine that they’re going to want the slickest programs that they can get their hands on, not the low-budget soaps that we had in Nairobi.

There’s a wide variety of programs available across the continent, but which ones will actually catch the US viewers interest? Two of the clients I deal with are national cable channels, since content is determined by viewers in this industry, the shows that management picks to air are extremely important. If viewers don’t like it they won’t watch it, and then the cable channel doens’t have any more advertisers…

It would be awesome if they syndicated some of those low budget television shows from various African stations. I’m sure South Africans would get the lion’s share but I remember all those low budget Kenyan soaps in Swahili…
or the musical countdown show with “Jimmy Gathu”
