DSTV LAUNCHES AFRICA MAGIC IGBO CHANNEL 159
Multichoice Nigeria will be
launching Africa Magic Igbo on the 2nd April, 2015. The launch was
as a result of the agitation by Igbo subscriber that while will there not be
Africa magic if we can have Africa Magic Yoruba and Hausa.
Speaking on the launch, the
Director, M-Net (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said: “We are thrilled to
announce the launch of Africa Magic Igbo.
Igbo language entertainment content has always played a prominent role
in the Nigerian film and television industry and we are glad to offer a
platform where this rich content can be showcased to the rest of Africa and the
world.
Popular Igbo language content
like Living in Bondage, Nneka the Pretty Serpent and many others set the trend
for the modern Nigerian film and television industry, or Nollywood as it’s
called; it is thus only fitting that such content should be given a platform
where it is easily accessible by audiences around the continent. With the
launch of Africa Magic Igbo, we have once again proven our commitment to
providing content made for Africa by Africans.”
The Managing Director, Multichoice
Nigeria, Mr. John Ugbe, said: “For over 20 years, Multichoice has played an
active role in the development of the African film and television industry. The
Africa Magic channels, which sit on our Dstv and GOtv platforms, continue to
display the best of African entertainment content to the world. With the launch
of Africa Magic Igbo, we have once again provided a platform for African talent
to shine and our viewers can definitely expect to see the best of Igbo culture
and talent on display.”
