CANAL+ launches the new cultural magazine "Avant-Première" presented by consultant and entrepreneur Paola Audrey Ndengue. Broadcast since February 27 on CANAL+ Afrique, "Avant-Première" is the new weekly program dedicated to culture in Africa.
Paola Audrey Ndengue (Cameroon) will cover topics such as cinema, music, theater, television series, and literature, accompanied by a pan-African team consisting of Laure Gnagbé Blédou (Ivory Coast), Leslie Obou (Gabon), Florelle Manda (Congo), and Hermann Boni (Ivory Coast). Cameroonian star Charlotte Dipanda was the first guest on the first show, which aired on February 27.
"Avant-Première" is a Hémisphère Media Africa production directed by Patrick Fandio and based in Abidjan for the past five years. The project was made possible by the construction of a modern television studio in Biétry in just three months. It
is a modular "smart studio" designed entirely for the needs of the program
. We are improving the range of television studios available in Côte d'Ivoire and would like to offer these services to businesses and other production companies… We will be the only audiovisual editorial content production company to have its own television studio, which will give us a competitive advantage for the future production of programs or pilots…We have just made an investment of more than 200 million CFA francs. This marks a new era and a change in strategy for the growth of Hémisphère Media Production Africa," says Patrick Fandio, CEO of Hémisphère Media Africa.
The program "Avant-Première" airs on Saturdays at 7:25 p.m.
