BBC’s new Smart Money show to air on NTV

NTV has been chosen to air BBC Africa’s Smart Money, an original new half-hour weekly magazine programme launching next week across the continent. The show will give viewers an in-depth look at current money and business topics from across Africa, as well as offer practical and inspirational financial advice from African entrepreneurs.

The programme will premier in Zambia on Tuesday with NTV airing it in Uganda on Tuesday and in Kenya the following day.

According to BBC, each week a team of expert presenters will bring diverse stories, focusing on personal finance, the economy and entrepreneurship. There will be stories of success and the latest news on big money decisions affecting African’s lives – and tips for those who are learning how to “do it themselves” when it comes to their finances.

Larry Madowo, BBC News Africa Business Editor, says: “A programme like this has never been seen or made before in Africa and I’m sure our audiences will fall in love with it. We have more African journalists covering African business than ever before and we’re excited to share their incredible storytelling with viewers across the continent in English, and soon in Swahili, French and Hausa.

“To understand the correlation between Afrobeats music and saving culture, the business opportunities arising from more African millennials keeping beards or where to buy roast meat using cryptocurrencies, Smart Money is the show for it – We’re here to make sure your money works as hard as you do.”
