ARTICLES RELATED TO Television in South Africa - Controversy over introduction of TV | | | |  Television in South Africa - Controversy over introduction of TV: Encyclopedia II - Television in South Africa - Controversy over introduction of TVThe reason for television's late arrival in South Africa was ideological, as the white minority regime saw it as a threat to its control of the broadcasting media, even though the state-controlled South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) had a virtual monopoly on radio broadcasting. It also saw the new medium as a threat to Afrikaans, and to the Afrikaner volk, giving undue prominence to English, and creating unfair competition for the Afrikaans press.
The National Party's Minister for Posts and Telegraphs, Dr Albert Hertz ...

| | | | Television in South Africa - Controversy over introduction of TV: Encyclopedia II - Television in South Africa - Local programming While US programming has dominated South African TV airtime, there are now many locally produced programmes, although few are known outside South Africa, and do not travel well. For example, M-Net's soap opera Egoli: Place of Gold, which features characters changing from English to Afrikaans and back, was incomprehensible to viewers in the rest of Africa. The drama series Shaka Zulu, based on the true story of the Zulu warrior King Shaka, was shown around the world in the 1980s, but this was only possib ...

| | | | Television in South Africa - Controversy over introduction of TV: Encyclopedia II - Television in South Africa - Political change Following the easing of media censorship under F. W. de Klerk, the SABC's news coverage moved towards being more objective, although many feared that once the African National Congress came to power, the SABC would revert to type, and serve the government of the day. However, the SABC now also carried CNN International's TV news bulletins, thereby giving South African viewers new sources of international news.
In 1996, two years after the ANC came to power, the SABC reorganised its three TV channels, so as to be more representative of ...

The availability of US programming was partly the result of a co-operative venture with Universal Studios in 1980 where an episode of 'Knight Rider' was filmed in the Namib desert in South West Africa (today Namibia), and local acting talent was involved in the filming. As a dir ...

Initially, the TV service was funded entirely through a licence fee, as in the UK, but advertising began in 1978.
When South African television launched, it was only the second terrestrial TV service in Africa to launch with a colour service o ...
