SOUTH is a new global magazine program initiated by Channel 4 Television in the UK. The first series of 11x52’ programs is being broadcast on Saturday nights from October this year.The primary objective of SOUTH is to bring the direct voices of the South to television screens in the North. We hope also that the programs will be transmitted in as many countries in the south as possible, thus increasing South to South communications. In the new era of global television, we feel that the voices of the South have a uniquely valuable contribution to make.All of the items in South are made by program makers from Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia. Deliberately avoiding any “northern agenda”, program makers were invited to propose ideas, subjects and styles of their own choice for a world audience. This has resulted in a wide variety of imaginatively conceived themes, ranging from the social and political to music, dance, sport and everyday life.
