Aden to Bermuda and beyond - Part 6

That was a nice rest. Hello, Part 6. 

With huge thanks to shuzbot from the Planet Mondas Forum for much of this, let us now amble onwards to the last four broadcasters for whom (according to that 1966 advertisement) TIE bought television programmes; namely, EBS in Ethiopia, MBC in Mauritius, SLTV in Sierra Leone, STV in Sudan

Some general sources of information first. This is from page 29 of a 1974 UNESCO report called Television traffic: A one-way street? A survey and analysis of the international flow of television programme material:



TTI and TIE also get a mention on page 53 of the report:


And this is from page 109 of The Image Empire: A History of Broadcasting in the United States, Volume 3 (1970, Erik Barnouw):



So those, taken together, point to TTI being active in all four of our remaining countries - cue a rousing chorus of 'Sudan, Mauritius, Sierra Leone and Ethiopia'. 

However! There is more to ponder in Part 7. Come along, Ponderer.
