Welcome to Ted Roberts' Nightline Africa--The People's Program!

Airing Saturdays and Sundays at 1600 and 1800 UTC, Nightline highlights the latest issues and developments from the corners of the African continent.

Spoken word artist Omekongo Wa Dibinga offers messages of hope and inspiration.

In addition, Nightline brings you African art, music, literature and culture.
