Q, Nigeria’s latest entertainment channel is set to commence airing
on DStv. The new channel is set to provide viewers with exciting
movies, thrilling dramas, inspiring documentaries, general interest
programmes and much more.
Founded by multi-award winning hit filmmaker, producer and
director, Amaka Igwe, Q is the first of its kind in the country and is
positioned to be viewers’ one stop choice for original, exciting and
entertaining television content.
In a statement issued in Lagos, today, the entertainment maven
explained that the new channel was a lifelong dream of hers nurtured by
her deep passion for the Nigerian entertainment industry.
“Q has been a long time coming. In my over 22 years of working with
television, I have felt an enormous need for a platform that can
adequately explore Nigeria’s enormous television potentials, one where
content producers can truly call home”. she added.
“Q is primarily a series channel which presents programmes in a
serial format. All programmes on this channel will be in multiples,
connected or in a stand alone format, spanning several weeks, a quarter,
multiple quarters or a year and beyond”.
She further disclosed that Q will have over 80% original Nigerian content.
“This channel is actually historic in many ways, chief of which is
the fact that this is the first time a reputable production company will
be setting up a platform primarily for exhibition of productions. Most
people who have started television channels in this country have often
been technical or business oriented individuals, not experienced
content producers”.
“Well Q intends to fill that vacuum. For me, Q makes me feel doubly
blessed. Not only do I get to entertain Nigerians -something I’m very
passionate about- I also get to fulfill a lifelong debt: that of
providing the very best of entertainment. I’m grateful that Q gives me
the opportunity to pay that debt in full”.
Q is owned by Q E-Networks Nigeria Ltd.
