I definitely like the excitement that this thread has elicited and the turn
its taking. I've got a few pointers though.
In 2010, i had this idea and i thought it was time to get our tech out
there, i even made a prototype for it and approached several media houses
selling the idea to them. The reality however was different, the show was
to either come in 13 or 25 episodes and i had to buy the slot for all
these shows (which was about 350k per 25mins then), this is where it was
even harder because i had to get a sponsor to the show to buy those slots
for me to air.
Considering that there's the cost of production also to be footed by the
the sponsor and for me to get my bread out of it, it meant i had to
allocate a lot of airtime to the sponsor to an extent that the show would
not look independent rather it would be free airtime for the sponsor. And
how many sponsors do we know who have such deep pockets and would be
interested in tech shows? That drew a thin line between the show's motive
and the ownership.
To cut the long story short, i still have my demo with me as it didn't make
any sense to have a show that would feature anything that deemed to not be
inline with the sponsors interest. That then explain why the major tech
shows, BBC Click and CNBC's Tech@Work are initiatives of the media house
themselves as the overheads are seen as any other operational cost.
With that said, i think a youtube channel would do for starts, PM can start
a project on www.asana.com and we hope that with the mobile penetration
and a bit of campaign we can drive viewership from all corners of Kenya and
beyond. We still need some sponsor of some sort since a quality camera
don't come cheap, at about 50-70k or so per day would afford you services
from someone who's worth their name in that field.
Bwana PM, i suggest we start small, look around get some more ideas, get
right combination in the team and take on the open seas of opportunities.
My best wishes.
