VOA Hausa Launches TV Program
Voice of America expands its leadership in Hausa-language programming with its 
first television broadcast premiering September 25 at 19:00 UTC.The fast-paced 
weekly magazine show Taskar VOAincludes a rundown of the week’s top stories 
from VOA correspondents in Africa and around the world along with social-media 
feedback from Hausa-speaking audiences and in-depth reporting on 
peace-building, entrepreneurship, health, and agriculture as well as segments 
on entertainment, sports, music and comedy.Adding Taskar to VOA Hausa’s popular 
line-up “will enable us to win the youth audience with a wider reach and 
tremendous impact,” says Africa Division Director Negussie Mengesha. “We are 
building on VOA’s bigger online and mobile audiences in Nigeria as well as on 
our English-language partnership with Channels TV.”With original television 
reporting from across the United States and from Hausa Service correspondents 
in Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon, Taskarcovers Hausa-language affairs in West 
Africa and in the diaspora.“Nothing better heralds the arrival of Taskar VOA 
than the Hausa saying ‘Gani ya kori ji’, which means ‘Seeing is believing,’ ” 
says Hausa Service Chief Leo Keyen. “Our TV team is ecstatic about this 
exciting new program focusing on younger audiences and democracy in our target 
areas.”VOA Hausa produces a total of 16 hours of weekly radio programming on 
shortwave and AM. Hausa also has a 24/7 audio mobile stream that targets young 
demographics particularly in Nigeria through cell phones.
