Cameroon Threatening To Suspend The Distribution Of Several Channels On DStv For Broadcasting Homosexual Content

Image
Cameroon's media regulator threatened on Tuesday to suspend distributors of television channels, particularly foreign ones, that broadcast "scenes of homosexuality", in a country that punishes same-sex relations with imprisonment. In a text entitled "Warning", dated Monday and circulated in the media on Tuesday, the National Communication Council, a government body, stated that it had noted "the proliferation of programs promoting homosexual practices", "generally broadcast by foreign editors". These programs "are increasingly to be found in cartoons aimed at children and minors", says the text. "The CNC calls on the promoters of channels broadcasting programs showing scenes of homosexuality in Cameroon (...) to immediately withdraw these programs, which violate the law, morality and customs of our country, on pain (...) of the outright suspension of the media concerned". The CNC does not name any of the media it is

Development Alert: Telemundo Is Said To Be Censoring Likely Banning Shows From Across Africa

Image
During the week, a lot of Telemundo related developments had occurred first was the removal of Nurses as further episodes can only be streamed on Universal+. Another development was the complete removal of primetime on the channel . We finally recieved word from our sources about the recent developments: We aim to comply with local broadcast regulations in each market where our channels are broadcast and are adjusting our schedule to ensure compliance. What this means in general is that Telemundo will be monitoring the type of content consumers will be viewing across Africa and this may have to do with the recent regulations proposed by Ugandan law enforcers where those under the LGBTQ can be jailed or killed. Another brand involved in a similar scenario was Nickelodeon with The Loud House which featured two gay dads and the channel opted to censor some of their content before Kenyan government opted to rather ban the show from ever being viewed in the region. Unlike Nickelod

Recap To The Week: Could Telemundo Be The Next Channel To Exit The DStv And GOtv Platform Following The Cancellation Of Nurses For Universal+?

Image
During the week, consumers were alarmed to see that Telemundo made a last minute change to their line-up when the only primetime series at the moment which is the medical drama Nurses had been phased out for the anthology series, Decisions. Through my sources we were able to confirm that the show had been removed from the channel indefinitely - no reason was given for the sudden change. But rumours are swirling of a drop in viewership and others grow close to a channel termination. As noted sometime ago, consumers should be embracing for more rebroadcasts in the coming months with False Identity and The End Of Paradise in places of For Love And Justice and Queen Of The South. Then there's also Law Of The Heart for Until Money Do Us Part. Considering Decisions will end around the time consumers would be expecting the military drama it's likely to launch once it ends but Telemundo's sudden loss of Nurses does raise a lot of concern and fear for the channel that brough
