Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation has announced that radio and Television transmission is down following a power outage at its Pockets Hill Broadcasting Centre. Said ZBC News in a Twitter post:<\/p>\n

The Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation would like to inform all valued stakeholders that its Pockets Hill Broadcasting Centre has suffered a power outage. This has affected radio & TV transmission. We apologise for the inconvenience. Engineers are working to restore services.<\/p>\n

ZTV and ZBC radio stations have been down on Monday Morning.<\/p>\n

ZBC did not reveal the cause of the power outage.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the announcement, exiled former Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services minister, Professor Jonathan Moyo said the development was probably pleasant to many. He said:<\/p>\n

Many will take it as an early life-changing Christmas present if the transmission does not resume, permanently!<\/p>\n

The state-run broadcaster has often been accused of being partisan, repeating programmes and content, and lacking creativity.<\/p>\n

Since Zimbabwe has one television channel, it means there is no TV when ZBC TV is down.<\/p>\n

There have been calls for Zimbabwe to effect media reforms to allow more independent players in the sector as information is vital for governance purposes.<\/p>\n
