Larry This is great considering that we approached KTN in June 2008 with the same idea and the producers felt that there was not much stories or features to do in tech in Kenya. I dont trust that it has "taken years". It is a work of months yes but not years. Anyway, be open to criticism and dont act as a know-it-all. That way the program will progress. I cant miss Click and Digital Planet on BBC and Tech@Work on CNBC. Owicho On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 9:29 AM, Larry Madowo <larrymads@gmail.com> wrote:
Good people,
Just thought I'd share this with you. KTN is launching Kenya's first tech show next week Wednesday at 9.50pm. We're about all things tech but given our mass market appeal, nothing too technical. Basically, tech in English, if you get the drift. If you watch KTN, you might have seen our teaser http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpYtFlZyaR4
This has taken years of planning and putting it together, convincing and all that. Putting together a weekly half-hour show on prime time on nothing but technology is not one of the easiest things, especially in this country. But that is the challenge the production team and myself have taken upon ourselves. But we'd love to hear from you, the real techies (not wannabe techies like myself).
We'd like ideas on what you'd like to see on the show. The Skunkociety has loads of great initiatives, projects, ideas and stuff that we'd like to give the national platform and influence of KTN. We'd also like feedback on the show once it airs. We'll avail most of it online, and repeat it on Saturday afternoon (yeah I know the Mexico v France game is on at the time)
Its still at a beta stage right now but we will appreciate whatever shreds of info, ideas, suggestions, feedback, contacts that we can get. After all, Tech Junkie is for you.
You can contact me or email techjunkie@standardmedia.co.ke
Regards
