Television in Black Africa
Every Monday night the Jericho Community Centre in Nairobi is packed out. There's wrestling on television. The fights are imported from the West, and very old, but no one minds. This is the viewers' top entertainment of the week. Every morning in Niger, one of the poorest countries in the world, children file into a straw hut in the bush to learn how to read and write via television.
In the second of Worldwide's three-part look at television in Black Africa, Richard Kershaw reports on how the medium is being used to entertain and educate its vast public.
