I'm assuming they were sold to Ethiopia for the reusable tape, not to air the show. Then again ETV (the ethiopian state-run TV station) does air random stuff every once in a while.
- ytadesse 13y agoThat's a rather uninformed comment. Dr. Who was actually extremely popular in Ethiopia so this news doesn't surprise me one bit.
- joelhaasnoot 13y agoYou are absolutely correct - I have no idea what ETV was like in the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Was it less government controlled during the Derg? Or is this post-1991 era?
- ytadesse 13y agoFair question. ETV was certainly more controlled during the Derg regime since it was an openly totalitarian government. That's not to say that this current regime doesn't have a tight grip on ETV although it sounds like you're already well aware of that.
