Television talk show presenter and producer, Mosunmola Abudu, is set to launch a private television channel.

The cable television channel is called EbonyLife, a lifestyle channel that will run on Dstv in several African countries. According to reports, the crew is currently being selected, following the acquisition of equipment and the signing of a “landmark JV and concession agreement with Tinapa, in Cross Rivers State.”

Abudu, popularly known as Mo on her talk show, Moments With Mo, is funding the project herself. The 48 year-old entrepreneur is also a human resources management consultant.

She began her talk show in 2009, and focuses on issues such as lifestyle, culture, health, entertainment, marriage and politics.

With the forthcoming inauguration, she increases the number of Nigerians that have launched television channels both cable and terrestrial.

In August 2012, popular producer and Chief Executive officer of Consolidated Media Associates, Tajudeen Adepetu, took his act a bit further by launching OnTv, an all entertainment channel that covers music, movie, fashion and sports.

Television and radio host, and co-owner of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe, also launched a channel, Kennis Music Channel.

The channel, currently running as a cable station, is a 24-hour music, entertainment and events one.

Popular film producer, Wale Adenuga, has also unveiled his wapTV, which is currently on Star Times.

Congrats!

pappy2000: Nice one for her

2nd to comment yeepy yeah

Congrats to Mo'. Always liked her show.

Just two words who cares

Am sick and tired of this shit called life.

Muscular woman that won't hide her biceps. Good for her though. I guess more nigerians are about to get employed.

Why do Nigerians find it hard to work together. They're so many TV stations springing up everywhere and in a few years time some of them will die out just like that. We have to imbibe the culture of partnerships. Let them come together and setup a few world-class station instead of several average or below average tv stations.

It's all good anyways.

Its really a nice move and I admire ur courage n determination to veer into that line. but wat kind of channel would it be? It should be fun sha. Looking forward to it.

This is a successful and reasonable woman creating a new business and creating jobs foR youths out there.

The bastard politicians will never spend the billions they steal to create jobs. All they know how to do is to build houses all over like birds n buy flashy cars n jets.

Yet they keep telling poor youths to create jobs for themselves so that they can tax us and embezzle more.

Wow! Congratulations to her.

Hi hater. I've seen you, you've been noticed.

d word ebony...

Everything you think you know about Africa is about to change!

Well, let us hope her Ebony Life TV lives up to the hype she created around it. I have been watching the station for a while and am already seriously bored. Over 80% of their staple offerings are mostly just talk shows.

Add another 20% of foreign movies and music and this is all. Their presenters are good (i.e. nice diction, good phonetics, average dress sense..), but it takes more than fine presenters and talk shows to ramp up viewership and make a world-class TV station.

When they promised us that "everything you knew about Africa is about to change,", no one asked them how they planned to achieve this feat, so we waited patiently for them to show us. And many of us are still waiting...!

I expected to see truly enriching programmes with African themes told from an African perspective. Instead we get a clone of a foreign lifestyle station that tries to be more westernised than the West. A truly American or European-style clone, is what Ebony Life TV station...has become. Sad.

Ebony Life TV promotes more news about American celebrities than anything else. If I want to read or hear about Charlize Theron or Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie, I will go to E!Channel, not Ebony Life TV.

We are still waiting for the "change" they promised, to come...
