African people want to consume content that depicts their everyday lives and content that they can relate to, in their desired languages. We want to reach all parts of the African continent\u2014creating, distributing and celebrating the wonderful African content, starting from movies to tutorials and every other content in between. As such, this partnership with StarSat will provide our viewers with more options to consume our content. Connectivity is still a challenge on the continent and StarSat has helped us overcome this challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs Nollywood seems to have captured the imagination of Africans in particular, Aforevo is supremely glad to be a part of the solution that brings the whole Nollywood revolution and entertainment experience to the doorstep of non-English-speaking sub-Saharan Africans,\u201d said Afam Anawana, the CEO of\u00a0Aforevo. \u201cWith StarTimes and Aforevo having seen the potential of this niche that Aforevo TV occupies, and StarTimes having wholeheartedly opted to carry Aforevo TV, exciting times await the target audience of French-speaking Africans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JOHANNESBURG: StarSat is bringing the Aforevo channel to its pay-TV platform, delivering movies, comedy shows, gospel music, high-life music and talk shows for African viewers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[247,248],"class_list":["post-1643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-aforevo","tag-starsat"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
