After producing satirical TV programs in Kyrgyzstan and Macedonia, Pilot Media Initiatives launched “The Other News” in Nigeria. Within weeks it became the most watched show in its prime-time slot. Young fans came away more informed, more motivated, and more inspired to make positive change. Effective, popular and sustainable – learn about satire TV’s social impact and commercial viability in global markets, how the creators made it happen, why it’s going strong today, and where it’s going next.
