Ill-prepared ZBC fails to launch TV2
The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation's much hyped launch of TV2 has failed to take off. According to sources, ZBC which is struggling to attract viewers due to its archaic and partisan programming, delayed the launch due to “technical unpreparedness and lack of programmes to fill up the schedule”.
ZBC chief executive officer, Happison Muchechetere, announced last year that TV2 was going to be on air by Christmas Day.
But a source said: “It was clear that the channel would not take off around Christmas because of a lot of technical challenges and the programmes to have this running are evidently scarce.”
