The Vision
Many in the world are heralding the dawn of an "African Millennium". Culturally and politically, Africa is poised to undergo more changes and wield more influence in the world than ever before. However, much of what is visually documented about Africa is a view from outside, seen through eyes that are not African and, in some cases, not Africa friendly. Only if Africans can present their stories to the world will Africa gain renewed respect and authentically express her promising future. Our mission is to provide a global voice for Africans to tell their own stories to the world.
The Company
Africast TV is the world's leading broadcaster of African ethnic television over broadband Internet as measured by the number of African channels under agreement (over 40 channels from 25 African countries). Africast has exclusive rights to distribute news, sports and music from Africa via the Internet and other means of distribution. Africast has built a proprietary transmission infrastructure to solve the key problem of bringing the audiovisual content from Africa to North America and Europe. Africast's content partnerships with some 40 top African broadcasters gives it an unrivaled pool of content.
Africast acts as a bridge, a mirror and a window into Africa. It is a mirror in which African immigrants living outside of Africa can look to stay in touch with what is going on in their home countries; it is a bridge for African-Americans and others of African descent to connect to their cultural and historic roots; it is a window through which those wanting to know more about and be a part of the African experience can look to see its diversity and richness of culture.
Africast believes there is significant demand for high quality, family-oriented, pan-African programming which is not dominated by excessive violence, explicit sexual themes and foul language. The Company has carved a niche by connecting the millions of African expatriates, African-Americans, and Caribbean people living in North America and Europe with a high quality cultural experience that not only they can identify with, but that peoples of all races can enjoy. The demand for high quality pan-African programming has never been greater. Africast’s viewers represent a very viable market that will continue to expand as more people come to depend on Over-the-Internet video delivery in search of high quality pan-African programming and content. Properly executed, Africast TV will be credited for the creation of the world’s first global Over-the-Internet video delivery network delivering high quality programming for and about Africa and a pan-African Diaspora.
