President Kwame Nkrumah launched Ghana’s National Television (GTV) on July 31, 1965. The first official news bulletin was broadcast on the evening of the launch, 31 July 1965 at 7pm. What did Ghanaians watch back then? The programming was heavily focused on education, local culture, and the promotion of the "African Personality," with 75% of content produced locally. Some of the programs were designed for schools and general education, covering topics like civics, hygiene and other topics of social interest. Early local drama groups were featured as well. Early children's content was often designed to fit within the educational mandate as well. (The "African Personality" was a central Pan-Africanist ideology championed by President Kwame Nkrumah to redefine the global image of Africa and reclaim African identity, dignity, and culture. The "African Personality" was not purely traditionalist per se. Nkrumah envisioned it as a synthesis of the best elements of traditional African culture and global approaches. Many felt inferior and insecure because of the colonial experience. The idea was to create a "new African" that was bold, confident, and ready to make an impact on development--not just of Ghana or even Africa, but around the world. For example, Nkrumah's decision to wear the fugu smock for his independence speech was meant to promote the African Personality concept.) As Nkrumah intended to use television for development, early slots included documentaries. Therefore, the early schedule was characterized by a high volume of local, educational, and pro-development content.
