I'm absolutely certain you're just buried with the existing work of just
getting your new startup rolling with its original idea (African centric
movies), so put this (somewhat obvious) suggestion on your "possible
expansion ideas for maybe someday" list.
Something I find lacking on broadcast TV is news coverage of Africa. In
the US, the only place where you'll find regular English language
broadcast TV news coverage of Africa is, oddly enough, through CCTV
("China Central Television" via the Chinese government). Though it is
already possible to get _some_ African news coverage over the web, news
as a content source for your service might be a worthwhile addition.
According to CCTV coverage, African radio broadcasting is (supposedly)
extremely popular and far more widespread than TV. The pervasive use of
radio is (supposedly) due to radio being less expensive than TV and far
more widely adopted by the general populace. The part I found the most
interesting is how both pre-recorded and live serial drama, niche, and
educational shows are still being broadcast in Africa over radio (along
with the expected music, news, and talk shows). Though it's audio rather
than video and there a many companies in the "African Internet Radio"
business, radio might (eventually) be another appealing content source
for you.
Good Luck!
