One of those things I could wish for is access to a site or sites that would have this great collection of TV commercials ever aired on Kenyan TV. In mind this would have commercials aired in the 1980s when Kenya had the only TV station that was State owned-the Voice of Kenya (VoK). Growing up in the 1970s I still recall with nostalgia the black-and-white commercials while growing up in the suburbs of Nairobi such advertisements such as Blueband, Kimbo, Omo, Cowboy, Lifebuoy, Rexona, Lady Gay among others.
The 1970s were the days TV station came on at 6 p.m. and closed 3 hours later on at 9 p.m. with the mandatory national anthem playing.
The 1980s saw the shift to more interesting advertisements and programmes such as the “The Six Million Dollar Man”, “The Little House on the Prairie”, “Dallas”, “Bionic Woman”, “Hart and Hart”, “Kojak” and “Dempsey”.
Anyone out there who can take the challenge of sourcing some of these commercials from 1970s to 2010 and having them all in one website where they can be downloaded for the walk down the memory lane?
