  1. I doubt that Kit has made any deal with DSTV to screen Tinsel. DSTV does not have the sole rights. The only reason other stations have not been screening the prog could be the cost is higher than the Telenovelas.

    So what Quarcoo needed to do is just to contact the content providers and buy the programming!


    As usual, this new programming will shake up the market. I have never watched Kit in my life, but from the relaunch, am just watching cheaters every 8pm. I no longer have to wait for 11 pm on Etv.


    As a simple analyst, I can say Kit has changed tack. Play music during the day time, some Nigerian movies etc, then when 8pm comes, taget the bachelor/newly marrieds [25-38 year olds who do not have bigger kids around]

    This way, he has his niche!
