Television channel, Canal 2 to diversify

The head of Canal 2 Movies, Parfait Zambo has disclosed the station’s decision to be diverse by promoting more of Cameroon’s acts.

"We want to promote the Cameroonian culture and identity in order to reduce foreign influence on our lives. This is because we are impacted by movies daily and they are a source of inspiration for names, hairstyles and other habits among us", said Parfait Zambo.

The Director of the string revealed that, "The movies are produced by Canal 2 International since its inception in 2003. The current storage allows a broadcast for 24 hours a day for five years. There are also independent producers who offer us films. In addition, the Canal 2 International Group is putting in place a purchasing system whose modalities will be determined in a timely manner".

Canal 2 music is the other string in the experimental group. Joyce Fotso said that programs are still in design. But Canal 2 music wants to give more broadcast to the Cameroonian products.

"We want especially to give a chance to young people who are more and more interested in the creation of musical works the General channel had saturated programs and truly did not allow music. With Canal 2 music, it has secured space, said the channel’s Manager.

Canal 2, one of the recently created chains of the Canal 2 International Group which has been in existence for about a month focuses on the distribution of Cameroonian and African films.
