Speaking on Glam Report TV, Bola Balogun, its Creator and Producer said, “We all deserve to be living our best lives. The show provides us with the tools to do so;  it allows us to lovingly embrace fashion, crave a more fulfilled lifestyle  and successfully work towards an improved, rejuvenated and glamorous us.”
Left to capture the hearts of the show’s audience will be hosts Michelle Dede, Didi Ocheja and Fade Ogunro. Armed with years of experience in their areas of expertise: Michelle, a TV and live-events presenter with “Big Brother Nigeria” and MTN’s “Family Game Show” under her portfolio; Didi, Creative Director of Didi Isah Accessories and was the prior Executive Brand Director for Miss Nigeria and The Creative Director of the Miss Nigeria reality show; and Fade, a multilingual radio presenter at the Beat99.9Fm and TV producer. The vivacious and versatile trio adequately set the tone of what promises to be most invigorating beauty, fashion and lifestyle TV show to infiltrate our everyday lives.
BN had a brief chat with the Creator & Producer of Glam Report TVBola Balogun:
BN: What was the inspiration behind Glam Report TV?
BB: I’ve been in the Nigerian fashion industry for close to a decade and I know how hard people in the creative industry work and  how big their accomplishments have gotten over the years, but this is not out there for the mass to see and learn from. Glam Report TV was created to fill that gap, to get their success and inspiring stories exposed; to educate  and inspire everyone.
BN: Is Glam Report TV solely targeted at a female audience?
BB: Of course not! Beauty, Lifestyle and Fashion is not gender discriminating. All over the world, men as much as women are interested in looking and feeling good. At Glam Report TV we consider our male audience as important as the female audience and we’ve created content that caters to men. We have segments that will educate men on the latest trends and how to improve their lifestyle. The show also showcases well-accomplished men in the beauty, fashion and lifestyle industry, so we hope that men will be watching and equally getting inspired!
BN: Why did you pick Michelle Dede, Didi Ocheja and Fade Ogunro as the presenters of the show?
BB: Michelle, Didi and Fade are beautiful, smart and stylish women and  I believe they have the charisma and engaging personality to truly connect with the show’s audience.
BN: As a pioneer stylist in the Nigerian Fashion Industry, there are high style expectations for the presenters, would viewers be left pleased?
BB: I hold the belief that style should be personal and at the same time, comfortable. Luckily, our three presenters are stylish in their own right. Working with the show’s stylist, Ebun, we’ve tried to create looks based on each presenter’s personality and body shape. Style will forever be subjective, but I hope their style fosters engagement with viewers.
BN: What should viewers expect fom Glam Report TV?
BB: Viewers should expect fantastic production, great content that is entertaining, educative and inspiring!
