Live FM Presenters Jay
Foley and Vanessa Gyan will be covering this year’s Black Entertainment
Television (BET) Awards.
The duo will bring
to listeners of the nation’s biggest youth brand live updates from the
Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles on June 26.
Live FM is the
awards scheme’s official media network in Ghana after agreeing to a deal
with Viacom International Media Networks, owners of the successful global
network BET.
The
2016 BET Awards kicks off at 8 p.m. EDT and
will air around the world on BET’s international network. It will air in
Africa on Tuesday, June 28 at 7:00 p.m.
Station executives
say the partnership will see LIVE FM playing a key partnership role in the Best
International Act: Africa category, which for the past few years gone by has
been a point of interest for most followers of the BET Awards in the
continent.
Business Manager at
LIVE 91.9 FM, John Foley, said:
“This is welcoming
for us as a station and also for the whole continent. We are pleased to be
partnering Viacom for this. The Best International Act: Africa award is one
that we all follow with keen interest and for a vibrant station like LIVE to be
chosen as key partner is most refreshing.”
Ghana is making a
strong case in this year’s nominations list with Mzvee making an appearance in
the Best International Act: Africa category.
This is Ghana’s
sixth nomination after Kojo Antwi, Sarkodie, R2Bees, D Black and Stonebwoy.
The BET Awards is
in its 16th year. This year’s will honour artists, actors and athletes across
20 categories, and will also feature a tribute to Prince.
Started last year,
LIVE FM is yet Ghana’s most exciting urban youth radio brand with a large
following.
The station belongs
to leading media group EIB Network, which also owns GH One TV, Starr FM, Kasapa
FM, Ultimate FM, Empire FM, Abusua FM, Agoo FM, Agoo TV, and the Daily Heritage
newspaper.
