Startimes has introduced an indigenous television channel, Teen Africa TV, for teenagers in Nigeria and other African countries.
The new TV channel which began airing on Friday, January 1, 2021, is accessible for viewing on Channel 361.
Speaking on Teen Africa TV, Charles Novia, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Startimes said the new channel would run for 24 hours daily with the best original content for teenagers across Africa
He said, “Our programming has the best original content of talk shows, lifestyle, educational, entertainment and events.”
He also disclosed that the new channel will be online as well as YouTube and will be on air in North America and Caribbean before the end of March.
He added, “We have the biggest content library and resource for teenagers across Africa. TATV will be online and on YouTube and we are also going on air in North America and the Caribbean in the first half of 2021, giving African teens in Diaspora a taste of the pulsating values and creativity of the African youth experience.
“Our social media handles on Instagram and Facebook already have teenagers excited at the thought of their own indigenous channel. While the channel had been carrying out test transmissions in the past few months, the impact of other aspects of the organisation have been felt by the teenagers all year round. Our Instagram page is one of the most visited platforms for teenagers so far and we have also been investing in young musical talents with our subsidiary company, Teen Africa Music. Already, seven new teen talents have been signed to the label and are set to shake up the music scene in 2021.”
