YANGA! TV
Media
YANGA! is a commercial general entertainment television channel reflecting the lives, issues and infectious energy of the African Diaspora.
"Yanga" means self-pride or showing-off (in West African pidgin) and is an enthusiastic, positive, form of self-expression.
The channel is the brainchild of ex-Al Jazeera English and Bloomberg Television executive - Lindsey Oliver. She came up with the idea for the channel after returning to London after a stint as Commercial Director and Interim CEO for Continental Broadcasting Services in Lagos, Nigeria – better known by one of its brands – TV Continental (TVC).

As spicy and varied as the continent’s cuisine, YANGA! offers a taste of home with positive and inspirational stories to celebrate the cultural richness and pride of Africa and its people
The channel is OFCOM-regulated, BARB-rated and funded by advertising revenue. Broadcasting daily in the UK and Eire, the channel is managed by the team behind Chiswick Park Studios, a cutting-edge facility located in the heart of West London.
