“I am excited about the show’s future and grateful to Nutifafa Attah for the opportunity to carry on the rich legacy he has led to build over the last seven years,” said Anaman.
“I cannot wait to get started and also for viewers to experience the show’s new look and feel. There are big shoes to fill and high standards to live up to, and we’re ready to deliver.”
“We are excited to grow our partnership with AE Mediacom, a production house that is known for their quality, in bringing more compelling sports content to Joy Prime,” said Santokh Singh, General Manager of Joy Prime operators Multi TV.
“We are confident of forging the same kind of successful collaboration we had with them on the 2019 Ghana Football Awards. At Joy Prime, our focus on real entertainment has made us an industry leader, and there is no better entertainment in today’s evolving world than football.”
