MEDIA MOGUL, MO ABUDU LISTED AMONG 25 MOST POWERFUL WOMEN IN GLOBAL TV +FULL LIST

I'ld be surprised if she wasn't on the list. Media mogul and CEO, Ebony Life TV, Mosunmola Mo' Abudu has made The Hollywood Reporter's inaugural 25 most powerful women in Global TV list. Dubbed as African Oprah Winfrey, the trail-blazer was described as Nigerian entrepreneur who is "revolutionizing pay TV in Africa".

"A group as diverse as the U.N., the women on THR's inaugural list are united in their ambition, their savvy and their determination to make a mark on worldwide TV - and to do so on their own terms."

The quintessential talk-show host raised her profile higher June this year when she launched EbonyLife TV, Africa's first global black entertainment network that broadcasts its programming to over 45 African countries through DSTV.
