AFROGLOBAL TELEVISION LAUNCHES ON ROGERS CABLE
A Global Super Channel Showcasing The Best Of Africa and The Diaspora
 
Toronto, Canada -- Thursday, May 10th, 2016: Afroglobal Television, a 24-hour global super channel that informs, empowers, uplifts and entertains with exceptional programming focused on Africa and the Diaspora launched today on Rogers Cable, Channel 708. Afroglobal Television, also known as AFRO TV is available for free preview to Rogers Cable customers until August 2016, after which fans of the channel may add it to their cable package for $5 per month.
 
Licensed by the government of Canada in September 2008, Afroglobal Television has committed stakeholders, including Moses A. Mawa, Founder of Silvertrust Media as well as CEO & Executive Producer of the channel; along with his wife Patricia Bebia Mawa, Executive Vice President of the network. The duo, whom CNN called "The Power Couple" in a worldwide broadcast, are dedicated to ensuring the channel transforms the destiny of people of African descent worldwide.
 
Based in Toronto, Canada, the channel caters to the fast-growing population of people of African descent, who include viewers originally from Africa, the Caribbean and from other parts of the world. "Canada offers a diverse, multicultural landscape and there is great appetite for the kind of programs we offer on AFRO TV. We are delighted that Rogers Cable customers can experience this for themselves, starting today," says Mr. Mawa.
 
"The goal of Afroglobal Television is to present documentaries, biographies, music, movies, soap operas, talk shows, drama, sports, reality and children's programming, current affairs and other contents that reflect the rich heritage of Africa, the Caribbean and the rest of the Diaspora," says Dr. Jefferson Sackey, Vice President of Programming, who has worked with global channels including America's CNN, the German international broadcaster DWTV, and Multimedia Group of Ghana.
 
"With original programming like The Visionaries, a biography series; The Golden Button fashion series; the Open Mic music show; the Anatomic health, fitness and wellness series; Poetically Speaking; Sister Talk; Story Time; The Minister; and others, the audience has a great experience. The channel also airs movies, music and world class drama series, which appeal to discerning viewers.
 
"Moses and Patricia are continuing the legacy of my father. I will do whatever I can to support them and the Afroglobal initiative," said Dr. Julius Garvey, son of the legendary civil rights and empowerment leader, Marcus Garvey, at the Afroglobal Television's official launch reception on April 29th 2016 at the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto.
 
In addition to Rogers Cable channel 708, Afroglobal Television is also available to Bell Fibe customers on channel 2472, and the station will also launch on other platforms in Canada and in other parts of the world soon.

Celebrating 10 Years Of Planet Africa Magazine


There's an African proverb that says, "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."  These simple words overflow with wisdom and truth. The release of this edition marks the 10th Anniversary of Planet Africa Magazine! The team and I are proud of this milestone, and we couldn't have done it without you - our readers, our dear friends. It has truly been an awesome journey since our inaugural issue, which was published back in October 2005!

I am delighted by the opportunity the Editorial Board has accorded to my wife and associate Patricia Bebia Mawa, who has been the Editorial Director of this publication from the beginning. In addition to running a cutting-edge publishing, broadcast, marketing and event management organization, we are now set to launch a 24-hour television channel, having recently acquired Afroglobal Television, where I had been a shareholder as well. We are also delighted to share profiles of recipients of the 2015 Planet Africa Awards.

It is an honour to channel our collective pride in the accomplishments of our distinguished recipients. Categories include Professional Excellence, Enterprise, Leadership, Entertainment, Nelson Mandela Humanitarian Award, Volunteer, Media, Renaissance, Heritage, Development, Science & Technology, Marcus Garvey Memorial Award, Rising Star, Academics, Visionary and Lifetime Achievements.  Exemplary role models, we honour them for making a profound difference in the lives of our people. 

We present talented Fashion Designer Adebayo Jones' spectacular designs as showcased at the 2015 African Fashion Week in Toronto. In our spotlight is 'Empire' star Taraji P. Henson. We share the empowering story of US President Barack Obama's journey to Kenya, his Fatherland. We are also pleased to feature Cross River State Governor Professor Ben Ayade's Inauguration. We examine the work of Cuso International, along with the strides that the development organization is making to impact lives in Calabar, Nigeria and other places of the world. We present the courtship and marriage of Osho and Alan Edison, plus beauty, fitness, food, entrepreneurship, books, inspirational stories and much more.

The universal law of going far together pertains to all facets of life. These include work, school, home and others. We need to be united in mind and purpose more than ever before. Thanks to everyone who has included our magazine in their lives, especially those who have read each issue cover to cover. We sincerely appreciate our advertisers, subscribers, photographers, writers and other contributors. We look forward to a brighter future of inspiration and entertainment, laid out for you on the pages of Planet Africa, other publications, along with all of our other media platforms.
