Jon Germain has revealed to News One that
his music and celebrity magazine show,
‘Allo TiGo’, has been laid to rest after airing
on Metro TV for over a decade. The TV icon
and musician made the announcement
yesterday, saying it was to pave way for a
new programme he was working on. “I
wanted a new challenge and my boss Talal
agreed with the new idea,” he said.
“It’s been awesome hosting ‘Allo TiGo’. I’ve
gotten to meet and interview the likes of
Rev. Jesse Jackson, Nana Akufo Addo, Bennie
Man, Buju Banton, Frank Bruno, Abedi
Pele, Coldplay etc. It was fun. We created so
many things that I see other shows doing
now. The show introduced many big
Ghanaian artistes to Ghana. Almost all the
big names in Ghana music now were first
interviewed on ‘Allo Tigo’. That’s where
people saw them first,” he said.
‘Allo TiGo’ is an entertaining, informative
and pop culture platform that has been on
TV since 2003. It was aired on Sundays at
7pm and repeated on Tuesdays at 2pm.
The 60-minute show features local and
foreign music video charts, one-on-one
celebrity interviews, music albums’ reviews
and releases.
It is arguably the longest running
entertainment TV programme in Ghana.
Unfortunately, Jon is taking a bow with it.
