AFCON Broadcast Rights: Adewunmi Ogunsanya Does His Magic Again

In a remarkable display of strategic prowess, Adewunmi Ogunsanya, the visionary Chairman of MultiChoice Nigeria Ltd, has once again steered the ship of DStv and GOtv towards victory in the unpredictable waters of public sentiment. The recent twist in the AFCON broadcast saga stands as a testament to his ability to sense the pulse of Nigerians and deftly navigate the changing winds of public opinion.

The announcement that MultiChoice initially would not be broadcasting the African Cup of Nations on its SuperSport channels sent shockwaves through the football-loving nation. However, like a seasoned captain adjusting sails in turbulent seas, Ogunsanya swiftly course-corrected. In a surprising U-turn, DStv, via its official handle, declared that it would indeed be transmitting all 52 AFCON matches on Supersports.

This about-face not only showcases Ogunsanya’s ability to reassess decisions in light of public sentiment but also reaffirms MultiChoice’s commitment to providing unparalleled entertainment and sports coverage to its vast audience. The company’s pledge to ensure football fans across Africa enjoy unrivaled access to prestigious competitions remains unwavering

The agility demonstrated by Ogunsanya and the MultiChoice team underscores why they stand as the dominant player in the Nigerian broadcasting and entertainment space. The never-ending battle for the hearts and minds of football watchers took a compelling turn as the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) announced it would be transmitting all 52 AFCON matches.

The revelation that a formidable player like NTA was entering the fray likely fuelled MultiChoice’s swift response. In a dynamic show of competition, Ogunsanya’s magic worked not only to secure the broadcasting rights but to reaffirm DStv’s standing as the go-to platform for quality content. The galvanising effect of the NTA’s announcement serves as a reminder that, in the realm of football broadcasting, the battle extends beyond the pitch to the living rooms and hearts of avid fans.

As the AFCON tournament kicks off, it’s clear that under Ogunsanya’s leadership, MultiChoice has not only secured the broadcasting rights but also scored a goal in the hearts of Nigerian football enthusiasts. The magic of Adewunmi Ogunsanya once again prevails, reminding everyone why MultiChoice remains a beacon of innovation and responsiveness in the dynamic realm of broadcasting and entertainment.
