African Television Network of New England
At the African Television Network of New England we believe that a community thrives when its disparate groups are supported in maintaining vibrant cultural identities as they are provided with the information and skills that will allow them to join their larger community as respected and productive members. Founded with this mission in mind, ATNNE endeavors to increase the visibility, and promote understanding, of the African community of greater Boston and Cambridge by providing a weekly television program called "The African Television Network."
Since its inception in 2002, the show has expanded from one local access television station to four and has served as a forum for social change and political involvement within the African community. Each hour-long program addresses a cultural, political and practical issue relevant to those linked by birth, family, or affinity to the continent of Africa. Among the broad range of topics is immigration, physical and mental health, spirituality, radicalism, violence prevention, housing, English language acquisition, and advice on starting a small business. Programs for youth, with representatives from the Ethiopian community Mutual assistance, National African Community organization and Somali Development center are an important and growing part of our schedules, as are a variety of cultural programs featuring Afro-music and dance. Guests have included the US Ambassador to Ethiopia, former Mayoral candidate John Connolly, The current City Councilor Michelle Wu, Jeffrey Gross ,MIRA's Director of new American integration institute,Housing and development Minister of Ethiopia: Minister Hailu Mekuria as well as area doctors, professors, attorneys, church leaders, and other professionals. Currently, ATNNE is the only in-depth source of news and information for the area's growing African community and the only showcase of African cultural, social and political issues consistently available to the larger community.
