Metro TV Kenya
Last April, I was watching some TV in Nairobi, when I came across a new TV station.
Truth be told, I had been flipping through the channels a bit earlier in the week when, on my fifth channel, I kept getting an under construction sign.
The sign made me think of the message you get on a website that is under construction, and yet, this was on TV.
I figured we were to expect another TV station on Kenyan TV and, surely enough, we were.

An All-Entertainment TV Station
When the new TV station was finally unveiled, it turned out to be a station called Channel 2, a dedicated 24-hour entertainment channel.
Finally, someone in Kenya had heard our prayers!
I don’t know about you, but for me, the only good entertainment I find on TV is a show or two squeezed between never-ending news programs.
Has anyone ever realized how often the news airs in Kenya?

One day, when I was sick and unable to go to work, I spent the day on my couch and was amazed at how often the news aired on regular local Kenyan TV.
First, in the morning, many local TV stations aired international news networks.
Flipping through the channels, I saw CNN, BBC, Sky News, and Al Jazeera.
At 10 a.m., I saw local Kenyan news (don’t some TV stations even have Kenyan news at 7 a.m.?).
Then, there was news at 1 p.m.
At 4 p.m., again there was news. (Who watches news in the middle of the afternoon?!)
In the evening, there was all the news I was already familiar with.
There was news at 7 p.m., 9 p.m., and again at 11 p.m.
Essentially, there was news on TV every 3 hours!
Good people, let’s be honest! How much truly changes in the course of one day? Is there really a reason to have more than two news broadcasts a day?
Every day?

Metro TV Kenya Revamped
Oh well, that was a not-so-short aside.
I know enough news lovers who would be ready to jump on me at this point.
Allow me to stick to the topic of my post and continue discussing Channel 2.
From conversations with friends, I later found out that Metro TV had rebranded and become Channel 2.
After Nation TV became NTV, I guess a lot of TV stations in Kenya felt the need to reinvent themselves.
Whatever the case, I am glad someone came up with the concept of a 24-hour entertainment station for Kenya.
Nairobians, it’s been about a year since I first noticed that Metro TV became Channel 2. What do you think about their programming? Is this a TV station you watch a lot? If yes, what shows on Channel 2 do you enjoy?
I am keen to hear what you have to say.

Channel 2 came out in 2006 if am right always wondered what happened to it…Always brought good movies very well balances
Hi Anselm,
Welcome to Chick About Town. I believe it was 2007 not 2006 (I didn’t start writing this blog until 2007). I am glad to know that it was actually a good channel. I take it it’s off the air now? When do you last recall it being available?
