 AEGiS-Reuters: MTV to charm Africans with local sounds
MTV already broadcasts a mix of U.S. and European pop and rock to Africans on MTV Europe, but it reckons a specially tailored channel with African artists and presenters will swell its audience and showcase oft-neglected African talent.
MTV Base will feature African-made programmes and local music like South Africa's kwaito dance music, zouk, from the Caribbean, mbalax, from west Africa and made famous by Senegal's Youssou N'Dour, and hip-life -- the continent's own version of hip-hop.
As well as local music and programmes, MTV would broadcast standard U.S. and European MTV fare, where music stars take viewers on a tour of their houses, or the channel takes a behind the scenes look at how a music video is made.

 The Salon of News and Thought: MTV Base Africa
The arrival of MTV - though benevolent I am sure - might deny this youth, the pleasure and pride of feeling and internalizing their own cultures, and might indeed have an aculturaion effect, which in my opinion is the worst thing that can happen to a people, let alone the youth of a people.
My hope is that elemens of globalization - such as MTV Base Africa - will not result in a hopeless, helpless and acultured youth, and will instead help young Africans appreciate their heritage, as much as that of other countries...
If one is concerned about the negative impact MTV's new Africa channel may have on Africa's own music/video/film industries, then MTV management should be made aware of and encouraged to showcase entertainment "Made in Africa" in addition to their normal fare for international youth audiences.
