context_page_description: Rhodesia Television was a live-broadcast, television station operating in Southern Rhodesia as a private company. Established on 14 November 1960 first in Salisbury, with transmissions in Bulawayo beginning seven months later. It was only the third TV service in sub-Saharan Africa after Nigeria and Egypt, and the first such service in southern Africa, since South Africa did not introduce television until 1976.
context_section_description: Occupying a position high in the hills above the Salisbury racecourse, the Pockets Hill television station was built just a few metres away from its original 'Alexandra Palace-style' transmitter mast. This was later replaced by a much taller, guyed structure. The HQ of the Rhodesian Broadcast Corporation occupied the nextdoor building.
