Tbo Touch set to launch TV station

Radio broadcaster and business man Tbo Touch is a man of various talents, and his latest venture involves a television channel and a movie.

The thriving media personality was recently announced alongside media personality Bonang Matheba and Fashion designer David Tlale as the South African faces of French cognac brand Courvoisier.

In a wide ranging interview with Drum magazine, Touch announced that he is currently embarking on one of his most exciting and challenging ventures yet, getting into television and film production.

"I am launching a TV channel. I am working some people who we will travel to Los Angeles for the show and for some partnerships there. On the channel we will have three big local shows. I want to shoot a show that will give excellent actors and actresses that platform to show off their talent," Touch revealed.

On top of the TV channel Touch is currently busy working on a big movie. "I am an executive producer on the movie, its a new but exciting challenge. It's insane but the same energy to raise R200 000 is equal to what you need to raise R20 million for a movie," he added.

Even though he doesn't reveal what the movie is about, Touch says taking the risks he has taken in life have made him realise that it is all worth it.

Catch Tbo Touch daily on TouchCentral.fm for his afternoon show 3pm to 6pm Mondays to Friday.
