The Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation
(ZNBC) operates as a public television and radio
broadcasting corporation. The company transmits
radio and television programs in English and other
languages. ZNBC based in Lusaka, offers two tel-
evision channels, ZNBC-TV, and TV2, which are
broadcast to major population centres. ZNBC has
three radio services: Radio 1-102.6 FM (seven lan-
guages), Radio 2-95.8 FM (English) and Radio 4-
88.2 FM (English).
At the moment ZNBC employees approximately 500
employees throughout the country, and generates ap-
proximately 70 Billion Kwacha annually. As of 2010,
the networks possessed an 84% market share, which
is ever increasing due to increased coverage and a
wider choice of programming available onTV2.
ZNBC is committed to provide both their listeners
and viewers with high quality programming, while
providing a variety of content with an emphasis
on local interests. ZNBC is undergoing a change
from analogue to digital transmission, expected to
be complete before 2012, like other countries in the
Southern Africa region that have already made the
digital migration.
With the advent of the ZNBC website, people can
see, and hear ZNBC news on a daily basis, at their
convenience. Even the global Zambian Diaspora
can now watch ZNBC-TV live online. Having part-
nered with Africast Global Media Inc, ZNBC TV is
ready to serve Zambians living outside of Zambia
with live programming.
Due to its partnership with Multichoice Zambia, who
is helping ZNBC broadcast its signal via satellite na-
tionwide, ZNBS is able to broaden its network’s cov-
erage area. ZNBC is seeking to improve the recep-
tion and coverage of content not only in Lusaka, but
also throughout the country. Currently, its coverage
reaches approximately 70% of the country however;
it is aiming for 100% coverage in the near future.
