Mo Abudu launches TV Channel
// Font size:
She’s built her TV show Moments With Mo‘ to unbelievable heights. Now, she wants to take it even further, with the announcement of her own cable channel that’ll span the entire continent.
NET has gathered that Mo’ Abudu, a HR Consultant-turned media major, is getting set to launch EbonyLife, a lifestyle channel that’ll run on DSTV in several African countries.
The big-budget project, we’re told, is funded by Abudu herself, along with other investors we could not immediately confirm.
Sources say the crew is currently being handpicked, following the acquisition of equipment, and the signing of a landmark JV and concession agreement with Tinapa, in Cross Rivers state.
One source told us the media entrepreneur ‘has paid a huge amount to DSTV’ to acquire a channel, and that the Channel distribution deal was reportedly signed with Multichoice in South Africa.
EbonyLife will kick off next April.
