Licensed by the government of Canada in September 2008, Afroglobal Television has committed stakeholders, including Moses A. Mawa, Founder of Silvertrust Media as well as CEO & Executive Producer of the channel; along with his wife Patricia Bebia Mawa, Executive Vice President of the network. The visionaries, whom CNN called “The Power Couple”, are set to make this a channel that will change the destiny of people of African heritage worldwide.
Based in Toronto, Canada, the channel caters to the fast-growing population of people of African descent, who include viewers originally from Africa, the Caribbean and from other parts of the world. “Afroglobal Television reflects the experiences and aspirations of all people of African descent through local and international success stories, as well as other programs that are good for the whole family,” says Mr. Mawa.
“Viewers enjoy great music, films, documentaries, biographies, current affairs, faith, sports and others,”says Dr. Jefferson Sackey, Vice President of Programming, who has worked with global channels including America’s CNN, the German international broadcaster DWTV, and Multimedia Group in Ghana. Also Known as AFRO-TV, the network tells Afro-Canadian, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-American, Afro-Brazilian, many others and indeed “Afroglobal” narratives from a transformational perspective, to advance a common destiny for people of African descent.
“With original programming like the Visionaries, which is a biography series; The Golden Button fashion series; the Open Mic music show; the Anatomic health, fitness and wellness series; Poetically Speaking; Sister Talk; Story Time With Nana; The Minister; and others, every audience has a great experience,” says Patricia Bebia Mawa. “We also have movies, music and world class drama series like Office Palava, XOXO and Jamestown Fisherman, which appeal to discerning viewers,” she says.
“It is an honour to support this landmark project and to sit on its Advisory Board,” says Dr. Julius Garvey of New York, USA and son of legendary civil rights leader Marcus Garvey. Afroglobal TV is a part of Silvertrust Media, which has deployed its staff, equipment, programming resources, marketing and other support systems via associated brands like Planet Africa Group, Destiny, Diversity, Discover and the Transformation Institute For Leadership & Innovation for the success of this initiative.
Other members of the Afroglobal Television Advisory Board include Hon. Dr. Jean Augustine, Hollywood actress Tonya Williams as well as Caroline Alabi, Patricia Scarlett, Johnson Babalola, Rosemary Sadlier and Pius Ilogu. “We are grateful to MoneyGram International, Ethiopian Airlines, Shed Fitness & Training, WorldRemit and many others who committed to advertising on the channel even before we could launch the channel,” says Mr. Mawa.
