Aden to Bermuda and beyond - Part 7

Part 7, being the Seventh Part, in which Ethiopia is briefly discussed, and a splash of colour is introduced.

The Ethiopian flag, from 1941 to 1975. I'm not sure the lion is actually running away from home, if you look closely. It only seems that way from a distance. 

Sit nearer your screen, and it'll be fine. You won't have to worry about how he'll manage, whether he'll fall in with a bad crowd, how worried his parents will be - none of that. 

And you won't have time, because this is an easy one, and will not detain us long. 

Here is the entry for Ethiopia on page 942 of the 1967 World Television Factbook:

And there's also this, from African Media Development Initiative: Ethiopia Context, a report by the BBC World Service Trust:

So: TTI and TIE played together nicely in Ethiopia. Now, quick - head for Part 8!

Alternatively, if you'd rather dawdle around and find out whether Ethiopian TV is really all that bad, you can find some here:

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.
