ZBCTV should be closed because it serves no purpose in Zimbabwe.

If you ask adults and children about their favourite television programmes you will be shocked to note that that less than 2% still watch ZBCTV.

Why should Parliament continue to approve ZBC funding from taxpayers who have rejected the broadcaster?

The programmes on ZBCTV aren’t inspiring, they are boring and outdated.

Most Zimbabweans are prepared to part with their foreign currency to pay DSTV subscriptions.

Nearly all houses in urban areas have satellite dishes, a sign that ZBC has lost its viewership in its own country. Zimbabweans have no source of local national news .Studio 7 has overtaken Radio Zimbabwe and other local radio stations as well.
