eNCA video footage of escaped crocodiles makes it to primetime news on American television.


Your'e reading it here first. 

Video footage of South Africa's 24-hour news channel, eNCA (DStv 403) made it onto American primetime television last night - the NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams.

The American news bulletin showed eNCA video footage (with the channel logo intact) as part of a story insert about thousands of South African crocodiles on the loose after a flood.

NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams is one of the three main evening news bulletins on American broadcast television.

The news bulletin used eNCA footage to tell about the 15 000 crocodiles which escaped from the Rakwena crocodile farm near Pontdrif after the Limpopo River came down in flood on Sunday evening and kept the easily recognised eNCA channel marker in the corner intact.
