When Koko Mansion, a television reality show facilitated by HiTV Nigeria, finally begins, viewers in France and Nigeria’s next door neighbour, Ghana as well as other African countries, will have the opportunity of watching it.
This is going to be made possible because HiTV, the wholly Nigerian pay television company, is among other African channels currently on the French IPTV operator free, which has introduced a new range of African channels on its platform.
Being the first group brought together in the African premium bouquet, it was developed in cooperation with Thema and comprises nine public and commercial channels from a variety of African nations: two from Senegal (RTS and 2STV), three from Cameroon, (CRTV, STV2 and Canal 2), the national public channel of Côte d’Ivoire (RTI), the public channel of the Mali (ORTM), the public channel of the Congo (Tele Congo) and the pan-African channel Africable. HiTV is available free as a la carte service.
Freebasic TV subscribers can in addition receive the pan-African news and information channel, Voxafrica.
Also in Ghana, a deal has been signed between HiTV and Skyy Media for the distribution of HiTV’s flagship channels, Hi-Nolly and Nigezie on its platform.
Its founder and chief executive director, Mr. Toyin Subair, said HiTV is pleased about this development “especially in light of its new TV reality show featuring D’banj tagged Koko Mansion, supported by Nigerian Breweries Plc, Jagal Group, that is billed to come up soon on our platform. The implication of this is that viewers in Africa and Europe will get to see Koko Mansion live as events unfold in the quest of searching for the ideal Kokolette (woman). We are happy that in just two years, HiTV is moving ahead on a difficult turf such as the pay television’s.”
Subair said the arrival of HiNolly and Nigezie in France and Ghana, shows that HiTV is leading the pack in showcasing Nigeria’s culture in the area of movie and music. “It is time to take Nigeria’s culture to the outside world, we want the world to know more about us in this period that we are rebranding as a nation. So, what HiTV is doing is complimenting the Federal Government’s efforts aimed at rebranding our nation.”
HiTV’s Public Relations Manager, Justin Akpovi-Esade, said the pay TV company was satisfied with the response from potential Kokolettes. “The response so far has been impressive, but this phase is gradually coming to an end.”
The show is scheduled to hold in a couple of weeks.
