Hamdi Badr Eddin (ar:حمدي بدر الدين) (born 1935 in Khartoum)[1] is a former Sudanese TV broadcaster and producer. He is one of the first pioneers in the field of TV broadcasting in the Sudan.[citation needed]
Career
In 1958, he joined the Sudanese Broadcasting Corporation (SBC). In 1960, he was sent to the United States to study journalism and informatics. He obtained a Media Diploma from the University of Southern California. During that period, he worked for the Voice of America radio for a year. In 1962, he was employed by the Sudan TV.
Sudan Television Corporation
During his career in Sudan TV (STC), Badr Eddin gained great fame through his weekly program "Knights in the field" (Arabic فرسان في الميدان). An informative and entertainment show addressing the young educated public, it lasted for ten consecutive years. In 1970, he traveled to West Germany, in a training mission for a period of three years during which he worked as a translator and later a journalist for the Voice of Germany broadcast, Arabic section. He was also sent to the United Arab Emirates, UAE, to work as a television supervisor where he contributed to the development of television programs. [2] In 1979, he was appointed director of TV programs in the STC. In 1984, a new Sudanese government decided to pension him off, together with many of his colleagues, for public interest—a term likely to be interpreted in the Sudan as employment termination, often for political reasons. He then set up his own center for Media Production in the Sudan. Soon, the government reversed its decision on the directives of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and issued a new decree appointing Badr Eddin first as deputy director general of the Sudan News Agency, SUNA, later as a director of the Sudan TV. [3] Again, in 1991, he was referred back to retirement, also for the so-called public interest.
