The Managing Director, M-net Africa, Mrs. Biola Alabi made the call in Lagos at the launch of the expanded AfricaMagic.

“We work with a lot of independent producers. AfricaMagic is very enthusiastic about receiving African television content and advises that all producers and film-makers who wish could submit their work” she said.

She ordered AfricaMagic is exclusively designed to celebrate Africa, and it has done that successfully since 2003 when it was launched.

AfricaMagic was initially one general entertainment television channel dedicated to content made in Africa by Africans for Africans. In just under a decade, it has grown and evolved into a series of AfricaMagic branded channels, she noted.

The revised AfricaMagic channels will now include:

• AFRICAMAGIC WORLD (channel 112): A channel created to introduce new AfricaMagic viewers to a variety of African programming! Formerly the MagicWorld channel, this general entertainment channel offers a wide range of African programming to audiences including re-screenings of series and movies

• AFRICAMAGIC (channel 114):  A ‘family friendly’ African entertainment channel with programming for the family including  family focused movies, series, sitcoms and documentaries.

• AFRICAMAGIC MOVIES (channel 115):  A channel focused on movies that capture African heritage to village life and Africa’s rich history.

• AfricaMagic entertainment (channel 128):  A channel dedicated to glossy soaps, glam drama series, glitzy lifestyle shows, great comedy, grade-A movies, gorgeous talk-show queens and gripping reality TV.
