A Timely Event for Africa’s Broadcasting Industry

The market for TV services in Africa is developing at a fast pace. In 2010, Sub-Saharan Africa had 34.5 million TV households, forecast to grow to 42.1m by 2015. Among them, 3.5 million households are pay TV subscribers, representing a penetration of 11%. Satellite TV dominates the market, but new technologies (DTT, online and Mobile TV), coupled with imminent switch to all digital, mean that the broadcasting market is due to experience changes and increased competition in the future.

AfricaCast is a new event organised jointly by Informa’s Com World Series and IP&TV World Series to address the challenges and opportunities in Africa’s broadcasting market. The two day summit will bring decision makers from the entire value chain, including broadcasters, satellite providers, cable companies, regulators, content providers & producers, and production facilities.
