Last week, I was flipping through the channels and I happened upon a new channel in the Comcast lineup, The Africa Channel. This new channel that provides all English programming provides a mix of music videos, local soap operas, news, and exposes was launched in Baton Rouge on September 1, in the midst of the chaos of Hurricane Katrina. Rising out of the chaos, the Africa Channel has signed nationwide distribution deals with Cox and Comcast Cable and has rolled out in Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and now Atlanta.
The future rollout plan has yet to be defined but, if you live in a Cox or Comcast area, and want to support this channel and other diversity programming options, call in and ask Cox or Comcast to add the Africa Channel in your area. And get your friends and neighbors to call too!
