HOPE & PROFIT IN AFRICA

摘要

Alex okosi, 32, Nigeria-born and U.S.-bred, has spent two years building what now is one of the fastest-growing international outposts of the farthest-reaching cable channel in the world— MTV. He has done it on a continent infamous for famine, poverty, genocide, never-ending wars and AIDS: Africa. The distinctly American music video channel now beams out a locally produced lineup of pan-Africa stars and a few U.S. crossover hits to small audiences in 48 of the 53 African nations, using satellite and terrestrial TV stations to reach 50 million people.
