Cultural viewing?

Now we don’t own a TV – but plenty of people (especially in urban areas) do, and so Zambia has just as many TV-addicts as elsewhere in the world. So in a spirit of cultural exchange I thought that you may be wondering what most Zambians like watching? We’ve talked about the perils of ‘exporting the empire’ a few times on this blog and TV schedules in Zambia are far from immune, but even bearing that in mind it may still be a bit of a surprise to know that some of the most popular TV programmes in Zambia are from World Wrestling Entertainment (what used to be known as WWF). We are pretty sure that the afternoon service at the church we go to was rescheduled so it wouldn’t interfere with the Sunday afternoon wrestling programme… if you have broadband and want to get a glimpse of what you may or may not be missing out on click here.
