Business partners and
couple Stella Damasus and Daniel Ademinokan will be launching their own online
TV station, Mon Afrik TV.
The online TV would be a
combination of BET, MTV, E-ONLINE, NBC and CW Network all into one station but they
will feature pure African content.
“That
is what we have created and we want Africans all over the world to see this as
their own medium of expression, not just another TV station.”
“We
see no reason why a struggling producer who could barely afford to raise the
capital to make his or her TV show should also look for money to pay the TV
stations for airtime,” he said.
“After
that, they have to convince brands to place adverts on the show before they can
start making any money. That is extremely discouraging for independent
producers.
“Mon
Afrik TV is creating a platform where producers can showcase their works to the
world and make good money for themselves without having to deal with the
run-around from TV stations.
“This
is not a Video-on-Demand platform for movies and is not trying to pry into an
already saturated market,” Ademinokan said.
“Africa
has often been represented as a dark, isolated continent.
“Yes,
Africa has issues, just like every other continent but there is more to us than
starving children, gun wielding terrorists, arid lands and dilapidated
buildings in remote villages.
“We
have beautiful cultures, a vibrant entertainment industry and entertainers who
have conquered the world on many levels and we want to showcase that to the
world.” the couple said.
