Cameroon television like the ruling CPDM party is 30 years old! The similarities end there.
This anniversary has provided an opportunity for CRTV icon, Charles Ndongo to revisit the operations of this medium, analyze its present state and examine its future.
The news director of TV antenna Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV) has the memory of an authentic eye-witness and observer. In his opinion expressed in Mutations published March 24, 2015 and dedicated to the 30 years of public television, the legend of the Cameroonian TV observed that CRTV continues to suffer from the defects of insufficient technical expertise and language of work.
The former "journalist of the president" said television promoters are merely interested in personal gain and careless about their audience. He deduced that "it is very tempting to conclude that television in Cameroon refuses to grow up."
Charles Ndongo, thinks that instead of reveling in the dispute and rivalry, local television stations should seek to empower themselves to be more competitive vis-à-vis an increasingly demanding general audience.
