Journalist, Alain Foka, announces launch of TV channel, AFO Média.

According to Alain Foka, AFO Média, will be a 100 percent digital media that echos the real Africa. He said it will tell the true story of Africa from an authentic African perspective.

Foka said the outfit will be an independent media organ without complacency. He stated that AFO Media will position itself to defend truth and integrity. 

“This channel will offer a unique, captivating and totally disruptive experience. Viewers can expect a variety of programming that will showcase African perspectives,” Alain Foka stated.

He went on to note that the TV will be “by and for Africans”. 

He said production will be done by a team of young African talents, trained, passionate and offering credible and professional content.

“On AFO Média, you will find all new programmes: Reports and investigations that explore Africa through in-depth reports; debates and interviews with enlightening discussions on subjects that affect Africa; culture, economy, history with the discovery of the richness and diversity of Africa through its arts, economy and history,” he noted.

Recall that on October 17, 2023, Alain Foka Foka announced his resignation from the French international radio station, Radio France Internationale, RFI. He left after some 30 years spent at the media house.

As at the time of his resignation, he had recalled most of the programmes he took part in such as Médias d'Afrique daily, Le Débat Africain weekly “for 12 years, as well as greater visibility for African champions with Afrique + weekly for 5 years, and an African version of our continent's contemporary history through Archives d'Afrique weekly for 31 years”.

Then, he equally thanked his employers and collaborators for what he said was their support and enriching contribution to his journey in the media house.

His resignation, he had suggested, was a call to further things. “Rest assured, this is only a farewell, I would even say a new beginning, as I will continue to offer you African storytelling on my digital platform, where several millions of you already follow me, and where I hope to see even more of you”.
