Today, Channels Television has become unarguably the
number one TV station in the country today, with many laurels and awards to
show for the good works it is doing especially in the areas of News. The amn
behind the success of the brand, John Momoh is well respected both by the
public and private individuals. But, many have not taken time to know how he
came into the business of journalism aside seeing his face on NTA News many
years ago.
The success story of John Mommoh will never be complete
without a mention of Dr Kunle Olasope
who discovered him. OLasope, a veteran broadcaster who is 80years old, is
arguably the first face to have appeared on television screen in Africa.
John Momoh captured the attention of a scout (Olasope) who
was desperate for young, motivated and charming school leavers to pick up a
career in broadcasting
Dr Kunle Olasope
spotted John Momoh when he was attending a school owned by the two twin brothers
in Abeokuta in the 80s. He then brought him to Ogun State Broadcasting
Corporation (OGBC) in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, where he started
horning his broadcasting skills.
Dr. Olasope also discovered great journalism heroes like Professor
Akin Oyebode, Ayinde Soaga, Yomi Alalade, Akin Onabolu and others
