Multi-broadcast Channel, EbonyLife TV to Debut Soon

Ebonylife TV, a multi-broadcast channel will be rolling out its global media and entertainment network soon and will be helping to consolidate Africa’s position in the world of premium international broadcast with its bouquet of unique, interactive and participatory programming. The Roll out will start Pan Africa wide on the DSTV platform by virtue of a channel distribution agreement signed with Mulitichoice Africa earlier this year and a Joint Venture Agreement signed with the Cross River State Government on building Africa’s first Global Multi-broadcast platform, at Studio Tinapa. The EbonyLife TV Roll out distribution strategy also includes Sky TV in the UK and DISH in the United States, with Brazil, Canada and other parts of Europe in the works. Also, to provide technical backbone and drive EbonyLife TV’s content distribution on multiple broadcast platforms like Android, Tablets, Mobile and Web, EbonyLife TV has struck a robust partnership with Globecast, the leading global provider of content management and worldwide transmission services for professional broadcast delivery. EbonyLife TV is already making history as the first Network and distribution platform in Africa to produce over 700 hours of premium original content made in Africa for a global audience. Positioned as an original African entertainment brand with international standards, the EbonyLife TV programming is produced by Africans for a global black audience and will deliver an ensemble of engaging and authentically African entertainment content in drama, comedy, reality, lifestyle, talk, magazine, feature film and factual programming that reflects the dreams and daily experiences of Africans while being youth empowering, gender sensitive and enterprise-building. Having concluded its first production in September 2012 with the US State Department collaboration on Culture Connects, a cultural journey to explore the traditions and values that Africa and America hold dearly, EbonyLife TV has now canned a good number of episodes of its programming, ready for pre-production at its Head Quarters at Studio Tinapa in Calabar, Cross River State.
