Celebrated filmmaker, Tunde Kelani, has joined the growing band of online television owners as he launched his tundekelani.tv platform on Friday 7 August.

The new online platform is rich with African cultural themed contents for viewers globally and is web-based and can be viewed on all mobile devices.

According to the award winning film director, the video channel is designed to offer viewers of all ages a refreshing viewing experience of his past and current works and other cultural themed contents from different owners across Africa and the Diaspora.

“It is an attempt to respond to the yearnings of our teeming fans of rich African themed contents on the go. Distributing films or other contents physically are becoming increasingly difficult, revenues are lost on a daily basis and content owners are at the mercy of the menacing activities of pirates. I think it is just natural, expedient and sensible to take contents closer to the consumers on demand and in terms that suit all the parties involved,” Kelani said,

He added that research has shown that with a simple mobile device, online TV viewers can watch any content online without scruples. As the new online destination for African cultural themed contents, Kelani urged all other content owners to get on board.

The tundekelani.tv platform will also offer viewers, business owners, private or corporate organisations the opportunity to advertise and promote their brands.

Subscribers of tundekelani.tv will be able to access a wide range of genre, including movies, high quality drama, interviews and documentaries that focus on issues mainstream media fails to cover adequately.

Besides Kelani’s classic titles such as Oleku, Agogo Ewo, Saworoide, Thunderbolt (Magun), Narrow Path, Campus Queen and Maami, the online platform will also screen TK’s latest experience Yeepa, an adaptation of Prof. Femi Osofisan’s classic play, Yeepa Solarin Nbo. Also coming to esteemed lovers of the new channel is Amos Tutuola’s Palmwine Drinkards.
