While there, he will also do a few other things aimed at projecting the station as well as see to the business development of TV Africa.

Television Africa Limited, is a private free-on-air television station founded in 1995 by Kwaw Paintsil Ansah, a renowned filmmaker and advertising business executive. The company has its long-term objective ‘to play an effective role in the development of communications as a major instrument for nation building and a vital element in the socio-economic development process.’ One of its core objectives is to transmit high quality programmes on education, development, culture, and current affairs to viewers in Ghana, and later the international market.

The station started test transmission in 2002, and was officially launched by the President of the Republic on 17th of May 2003.

TV Africa is now the newest member of the growing number of subsidiaries of Groupe Ideal, after the holdings company acquired majority stake months ago. Led by the President of Groupe Ideal, Dr. Nii Kotei Dzani, TV Africa is set to become the new pacesetter of TV broadcasting industry, station executives say.
