Nollywood actress, Stella Damasus, and hubby, Daniel Ademonikan plan to launch an online television station, ‘Mon Afrik TV, the couple have said. Explaining the project concept, Damascus said Mon Afrik TV would aggregate programming contents from BET, MTV, E-ONLINE, NBC and CW Network and is Africa-centric. On his part, Ademinokan said the project aimed to fill a vacuum in television programming.
“We see no reason why a struggling producer who can barely afford to raise the capital to make his/her TVshow should also look for money to pay the TV stations for airtime before the world can see his/her content. After that, they have to convince brands to place adverts on the show before he/she can start making any money. That is extremely discouraging for independent producers.
“MON AFRIK TV is creating a platform where producers can showcase their works to the world and make good money for themselves without having to deal with the run-around from TV stations. This is not a Video-on-Demand platform for movies and is not trying to pry into an already saturated market,” Ademinokan said.
