Channels Television and Deutsche Welle (DW) have
said that a programming collaboration that both
broadcast stations signed in June will focus on
sharing contents on a platform tagged ‘Africa on the
move’.

At live press briefing on Friday held in Lagos, south-
west Nigeria, the Director General of DW,Peter
Limbourg, said that both stations were collaborating on the platform to share daily service to their audience around the world.

Mr Limbourg said that the programme would also
target special people who do special things and are
game changers in their environment.

“Channels is a great station and a perfect partner for us and I really want to make you a big compliment for what you have achieved.

“We are very happy to work with you and working
with you means not only being partners and visit
each other, but also having concrete projects and
we have started now.

“We bring the latest news from the German Stock
Exchange and as regular service where we get more
economic information about Europe and about
Germany,” he said.

“One Sided Picture Of Africa”

Explaining the focus of ‘Africa on the Move’, Mr
Limbourg stressed that it would report events in
Africa from the African perspective with more focus
on great things happening in Africa.

“One has to see all the changes which are going on
here, what opportunities you have in this great
continent and especially in Nigeria, where people
have shown a better dedication to make life a better
one.

“We do not want to have a one sided picture of
Africa.

“I am happy we have a serious Africa on the move,”
he said.

Mr Limbourg also expressed optimising that sharing of information with Channels Television was a learning process that would have impact on both
organisation’s broadcast.

The Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of
Channels Television, Mr John Momoh, said that the
collaboration was a very heart warming one.

“The whole idea is to be able to bring African story,
working with DW, to the wider society, to Europe
and to the rest of the world.

“This is something that we are starting with DW very soon.

“We hope that this relationship will go a very long
way. We have started reaping the fruit and I think, so far, it’s been very, very good,” Mr Momoh said.

At the event were the Consul General of Germany in
Nigeria, Mr Michael Derus, the Vice Chairman of
Channels Television, Mrs Sola Momoh, General
Manager Operations, Channels TV, Mr Kayode
Akintemi, Head of DW International Relations and
other delegations from DW and Channels Television.

Channels Television and Deutsche Welle had in June
signed the programming agreement in Germany.
