Subsaharan Africa

[edit]

This page says RTV was the third tv station in sub-saharan Africa, yet lists Nigeria and Egypt as the two first despite Egypt not being sub-saharan even when Sudan was part of them. Wouldn't that mean RTV was the second in sub-saharan africa? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.66.198.178 (talk) 13:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have improved the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.152.184.146 (talk) 09:12, 7 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your assertion is incorrect.
The site says:
It was only the fourth TV service in Africa after Algeria, Nigeria and Egypt, and the first such service in southern Africa, since South Africa did not introduce television until 1976.
