The
new channel is set to provide viewers with exciting movies, thrilling dramas,
inspiring documentaries, general interest programmes and much more.
Founded by multi award winning hit filmmaker,
producer and director, Amaka Igwe, Q is the first of its kind in the country
and is positioned to be viewers’ one stop choice for original, exciting and
entertaining television content.
In a
statement issued in Lagos, today, the entertainment maven explained that the
new channel was a lifelong dream of hers nurtured by her deep passion for the
Nigerian entertainment industry.
"Q
has been a long time coming. In my over 22 years of working with television, I
have felt an enormous need for a platform that can adequately explore Nigeria’s
enormous television potentials, one where content producers can truly call
home." she added.
“Q
is primarily a series channel which presents programmes in a serial format. All
programmes on this channel will be in multiples, connected or in a stand alone
format, spanning several weeks, a quarter, multiple quarters or a year and
beyond.”
She
further disclosed that Q will have over 80% original Nigerian content.
“This
channel is actually historic in many ways, chief of which is the fact that this
is the first time a reputable production company will be setting up a platform
primarily for exhibition of productions. Most people who have started
television channels in this country have often been technical or business oriented individuals, not
experienced content producers."
"
Well Q intends to fill that vacuum. For me, Q makes me feel doubly blessed. Not
only do I get to entertain Nigerians -something I’m very passionate about- I
also get to fulfill a lifelong debt: that of providing the very best of
entertainment. I’m grateful that Q gives me the opportunity to pay that debt in
full."
Q is
owned by Q E-Networks Nigeria Ltd.
