Prime TV Zambia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prime TV is a private television station in Lusaka, Zambia, that was founded, and first broadcast on 20 January 2013.[1][2][3] Prime TV was critical of government activity in Zambia, which resulted in attempts from the government to close it.[4] On 9 April 2020 it was closed by the Zambian government.[5] Following Hakainde Hichilema elected as President of Zambia, Prime TV was reopened.[6]
