On the 24 Janurary, Revista Africa (Africa Magazine) will debut, a weekly program made especially for Angolan subscribers.
The programme is produced by TV Globo Internacional, the international channel directed at the Brazilian and Portuguese speaking communities all over the world. Revista Africa, compiled in Angola’s capital Luanda, will tell stories about the characters and scenes that are representative of this fast developing African country. Content will include aspects about the lives of surprising and little-known people and places as well as stories from Angola’s past and present. Social problems will also be dealt with, but always with a constructive viewpoint, presenting solutions and highlighting the initiatives to overcome the difficulties.
The debut of Revista Africa is part of the Brazilian producer’s strategy to get even closer to Brazilians and Portuguese-speakers who live outside of Brazil, but who haven’t given up on the idea of a broad selection of TV programmes in Portuguese.
Launched in 1999, TV Globo Internacional is the first Brazilian channel of the genre to be transmitted via satellite, digitally, 24 hours a day, to Brazilians and Portuguese-speakers who live overseas. This makes up more than 500 thousand subscribers around the world, in 114 countries on five continents.
