Former ZBC producer Sylvester Tapfumaneyi has launched an online
ZIMBABWE DIASPORA TV – ZimdiTV.com.
Broadcast from the UK, Zimdi TV broadcasts highly rated programmes
in English, Shona and Ndebele. The TV provides various selections of
entertaining programmes such as soaps, remarkable inspirational church
messages programmes, comedies, educational shows, and documentaries.
Zimdi TV has some of the most popular musical, drama and movie
programmes made to suit family taste which attracts viewers all over the world.
ZimdiTV will keep viewers in touch with home while away from
Zimbabwe.
This channel offers a variety of quality programs suitable for the
entire family. ZimdiTV is an independent TV station designed to suit an ever expanding
internet audience. We air original programmes along with local and
national client programming through individual contracts with agencies,
independent distributors and programme producers.
Says Tapfumaneyi: “Viewers will be entertained, informed and educated
through our unique program scheduling, which offers the best platform for programmes to be
viewed repeatedly for 24 hours a day seven days a week world wide since
our programmes are on a video on demand and stay on the web for a week?
And note that we have no boundaries governing us like cable and
satellite televisions, which can only be viewed by subscribers and not everyone
has the above but it is a fact of life that many people can afford internet
and this is where ZimdiTV.com comes in, in an effort to reach out the
neglected low income earners who can not afford i.e. Satellite dishes
or cable. Internet television is affordable and it is also a way of
sharing and sending information from a central point to all nations using one
programme.”
