UK based African Movie Channel (AMC), “the
world’s first global channel dedicated to the best movies and series
from Nigeria’s Nollywood, and the best from the rest of Africa“, held its official Nigeria launch at the Lagos Oriental Hotel, Lekki, Lagos on Sunday 11th August 2013.
The star-studded event which gathered the who’s who in media and business, and top Nollywood celebrities, was hosted by Teju Babyface, with Andre Blaze on
the red carpet. In attendance were Tunde Kelani, Emem Isong, Tinsel’s
hugely popular Victor Olaotan, Paul Igwe, OC Ukeje, Emeka Ossai, Obi
Emenloye, Segun Arinze, Kalu Ikeagwu, Zik Zulu Okafor, Charles Novia,
Clinic Matters’ Lilian Esoro and Mary Ogbonna, Vivian Esoro, Mary
Ogbonna, The Aneke twins, Anthony Monjaro, Teco Benson and a host of
several others.
Performer Evaezi had the
guests spellbound with her “Break Up Song”. Tinsel’s Tomi Odunsi wowed
them with her “I Wan Blow”. The Jiimbay dance crew, and Teju Babyface
doing his thing were some of the other entertainment on the evening.
AMC’s partners in Nigeria,
Connect Marketing Services contributed to making the evening the immense
success that it was. They are AMC’s marketing agency for advertising
and sponsorship on the African Movie Channel, in Nigeria and the rest of
sub-saharan Africa.
According to AMC, they are the
fastest growing channel in Africa and have quickly become one of the
most popular channels on the continent. Notable TV platforms carrying
African Movie Channel include StarTimes in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Mozambique; TopTV in South Africa; Smart TV in Ghana; Zuku in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda; and Continental Digital in Tanzania.
They’ve also only last week
inked another channel carriage deal with Azam Media in Tanzania. Further
platform deals are in the pipeline in Africa, North America and the
Caribbean.
