Those lucky few, and those who gather in bars and clubs to catch the latest broadcasts, are discovering a shared love of soap operas, soccer and especially African versions of reality-television shows such as Big Brother and Idols.

Soon, at the mixing desk, he was helping make Studio One the island's hottest hit factory.
