There are many reasons for both the Hostel series crew and
their fast track producers to smile.
First it was their fellow actor Mathew Nabwiso getting
nominated in the prestigious Africa Magic
viewer’s choice awards. Mathew, also known on Gilo in the miniseries was
nominated for the best supporting actor.
And, before the dust could settle, more news came in that
the Hostel series would be airing on a UK TV Station.
The show, which must be making its creators proud, is said
to be the most successful in Ugandan TV history. It has been aired on NTV
Uganda, NTV Kenya, Zuku TV and the continental pay TV pioneers, DSTV’s Africa
Magic.
It seems, the show is not about to slow down and, the
Observer, can confirm that the show is broadcasting on Ben TV (Bright
Entertainment Network). Ben TV is a British television launched in 2003; it’s
aimed at informing, entertaining and educating expatriate Africans living in
Europe.
On Monday 4th, the hostel premiered in the UK on
the Uganda vision program, which airs on Ben TV. According to the Ben TV
website, Uganda vision, hosted by Solome Kazaana and Paris Yipan is one of the
most popular programs on the channel.
Uganda Vision stared airing in March 2011 and has been a
runaway success with an estimated audience of more than 500,000 viewers across
Europe. The show that show cases Ugandan tourism, culture and music has hosted
a range of personalities from president Museveni, Energy minister Irene Mulomi,
first lady Janet Museveni, singer Judith Babirye and Uganda’s high commission
to UK and Ireland HE Joan Rwabyomere.
The hostel airs every Monday at 7pm UK time.
Ben TV is also a home for Uganda alive, an entertainment
program that focuses on issues around Ugandans and Africans in the Diaspora.
The program is done by the Ganda Boys, formerly the Da’twins.
