After days of test broadcasting, a 24-hour international TV
news operation set to rival existing giants in the global market will ‘soft
launch’ today, broadcasting from its main news centres in London, New York,
Johannesburg and Lagos.
ARISE NEWS will have a strong African footprint and serve
underserved communities in the United States and other parts of the
world, supported by a further eight bureaux around the globe, stretching from
Beijing to Rio de Janeiro.
A sister channel, ARISE 360, which will be entertainment-based
with fashion, music, sport and pay per view films, will start broadcasting
toward the end of this year.
