Btv settles for Chinese Kung Fu movies

Botswana Television (Btv) has settled for old Chinese Kung Fu movies for its weekend movie line-ups for the first time since the station was created 11 years ago.

Director of Broadcasting Services Mogomotsi Kaboeamodimo confirmed they have run out of American Hollywood movies to show on weekends and said they hope to have acquired new material by the last quarter of this year, adding that they did the tendering for new movies last month. However, the Btv boss defended the Kung Fu movies saying there is a segment of the population who like them.

The Kung Fu movies have replaced those mouth-watering Hollywood blockbusters that characterised weekend nights on Btv for the past decade. The Kung Fu movies have been running for more than four months now, with Saturday nights sometimes seeing local music videos playing on slots traditionally reserved for late night movies.
