Kwacha Good Morning Zambia gets more interesting

By Richard Mulonga:
Zambia national broadcasting Corporation’s (ZNBC) Kwacha Good Morning Zambia programme has become more interesting to watch nowadays.

Last week, I observed that the Saturday morning show now covers a variety of subjects including health, lifestyle, beauty, sports, business and finance. Last week’s show was anchored by Franklyn Tembo Jr and Mary Magambo.

What was reassuring was the way in which the two presenters delivered the programme.

I have followed Mary Magambo’s record on the screen from the time she joined ZNBC not so many years ago when she debuted as a continuity announcer. Mary does not only look glamorous but has a fluent voice too.

On the other hand, Franklyn is becoming a ‘veteran’ in the industry.

The obituary for the late politician, lawyer, Member of Parliament, teacher and author John Mwanakatwe on Wednesday by Katwishi Bwalya was well done. This was during the 19:00 hours main news. Katwishi did some good research, although we were not shown recent pictures of the late Mwanakatwe such as speeches and other public appearances, like they did with the late president Levy Mwanawasa last week.

Coming to MOBI TV, I have noticed that newscasters read most of the news items without the accompaniment of pictures at all. I thought this is television, where we expect to see many pictures.

We do not expect MOBI TV to give us pictures on all the news stories, but it would be worthwhile to give us as many pictures.

ZNBC’s TV2, has started running test transmissions in Lusaka, although my set is yet to pick up the signal. This is all for this week.

  1. i want to be featured daily so that i can sell myself and show that ian better than this small boy so called under5…..chiluba is now confusing me.

  2. And for those saying you cannot comprehend, of course you can’t. You are not in the country. He is talking about what is happening on the local TV circuits

  3. Hey Motaim….I like your sence of humour.Its alomost impossible to have a Good Morning Zambia thing with pissing monkeys, pornography, cadres strping over the show..Crimals on the loose.Fugitives coming home to feast.

  4. who will tel me where Caristo Chitamfya is? Is he with ECOBANK as i saw on TV during the business Dinner with Charity Lumpa as CEO.?

  5. I don’t even understand what this hired chap is talking about coz ZNBC is the most incompetent Television because of their programming which is acake. Even with the coming of ZNBC TV2 it’s the same. No wonder there is magic on MNET it is because of the habit of changing to peoples likes and tastes – – Period.

  6. On saturday the showed an old documentary about the construction of a road called project x in japan in the 1950’s. This was around 15hours and it was damn hot what did i do MNET SET. Why not arrange them selves for christ’s sake in terms of programming Fashio, Style, Wild, News but all we see is up hazard kind of programming!

  7. Such people who give achoreds when things need to take an up beat needs to be told off that things are bad. Just look at people who broadcast in venacular down southwest in Bostwana they look elagant and are more motivated in their bradcasting-please ZNBC you can do much more than you think.

  8. paliichisunga apa… acgored (#11), acake (#9 archaic). Wow, guys do some research before posting. You have made my day

  9. This may not be the right place for this.Am kindly asking for the herbalist number that gave a talk on skincare.I watched it on beauty and lifestlye.
