Actually you are wrong there. The top viewed programme in the country are not foreign. They are local.

Papa Shirandula, Mother in Law, Tahidi High etc top the billing. It just makes commercial   sense to have them on..

I do agree with the notion Grace. I feel though the proposal to do so is not going to sell. Simply because you can not sell something that the local audience is not keen to watch any way. If the market can not show concrete local viewership in a place like Nairobi (to people who own a credit card - who are mostly on DSTV) then its going to be a tough sale.

Lots of sense. Can you imagine if Vioja, Vitimbi, Tahamaki All Episodes were‎ on Netflix?
