AE Mediacom, in collaboration with the Multimedia Group Limited, have announced that “Football Activated” will start airing on Joy Prime TV from Saturday October 19.

The show, which recently aired on Kwese TV, throws the spotlight on football fan culture. In its new format, it will air as a live, one hour studio-based show, as opposed to its previous 30-minute documentary-style.

The show will be hosted by Aniela Allotey, a football analyst and law student highly rated for her passion and depth of knowledge.

AE Mediacom, producers of the show, explain that Football Activated will be at the heart of what football fandom means, assembling passionate fans for live studio for debates in previewing weekend fixtures, taking views of fans across the world, profiling individual fans about their love for their club and football in general, showing highlights of match viewing sessions across the country, as well as offering fantasy football and betting tips.

“As most people who know me personally and on social media are aware of, I am a football addict and a passionate fan, so Football Activated falls right within my ball park,” Allotey said.

“We’ll be all about fans and fun every Saturday morning, ramping up your adrenaline right before the weekend’s fixtures kick in. It really does not get any better than that.”

The show will premiere at 9am on October 19, and air every Saturday morning after that from 9am to 10am.

“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," Santokh Singh, Managing Director for TV, Multimedia Group Limited, said.
