M-NET FINALLY LAUNCHES AFRICA MAGIC IGBO by bigfrancis21: 8:04am On Mar 21, 2015
M-Net finally launch a station dedicated to the Igbo speaking ethnic group in Southeast Nigeria. After many year of successfully operating the Africa Magic Hausa and Yoruba channels, M-Net has announced the launch of Africa Magic Igbo. The 24 hour general entertainment channel is designed to showcase the rich Igbo culture of Nigeria and will go on air at 19:00 CAT on the 2nd of April, 2015. Africa Magic Igbo will be available on DStv channel 159.



Speaking on the launch, the Director, M-Net (West Africa), Wangi Mba-Uzoukwu, said: “We are thrilled to announce the launch of Africa Magic Igbo. Igbo language entertainment content has always played a prominent role in the Nigerian film and television industry and we are glad to offer a platform where this rich content can be showcased to the rest of Africa and the world. Popular Igbo language content like Living in Bondage, Nneka the Pretty Serpent and many others set the trend for the modern Nigerian film and television industry, or Nollywood as it’s called; it is thus only fitting that such content should be given a platform where it is easily accessible by audiences around the continent. With the launch of Africa Magic Igbo, we have once again proven our commitment to providing content made for Africa by Africans.”

For his part, the Managing Director, Multichoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said:

“For over 20 years, Multichoice has played an active role in the development of the African film and television industry. The Africa Magic channels, which sit on our Dstv and GOtv platforms, continue to display the best of African entertainment content to the world. With the launch of Africa Magic Igbo, we have once again provided a platform for African talent to shine and our viewers can definitely expect to see the best of Igbo culture and talent on display.”

All the Africa Magic channels are renowned for their exciting content which celebrates African entertainment and Africa Magic Igbo will be no different. The channel will appeal to audiences in and outside Nigeria, as the Igbo language is also spoken in a number of other African countries like Equatorial Guinea, Democratic Republic of Congo and Gabon.”

Mba-Uzoukwu added,

Africa Magic Igbo will also undoubtedly be popular with audiences across the continent as shown by the widespread success of the popular Igbo language movies of the 1990s, and our viewers can expect to see the best from renowned and exciting Igbo talent like Okey Bakassi, Chiwetalu Agu and Dede One Day amongst many others.”

Africa Magic Igbo launches on the 2nd of April 2015 at 19:00 CAT and will be available on DStv channel 159.

Igbowood? where will the content comes from? ... Igbos as usual and typical to their character abandon their language and heritage for Nollywood and blame others for asking Mnet for not having Igbo Magic...no magic for Igbos to show the world.
