Born Starz is a true
celebration of Ghanaian talents as both young and old are given the platform to
perform on stage with the aim to win the grand prize.
The Chief Executive
Officer of Viasat1, Charlotte Gustavsson, is excited about Born Starz. She said
“the introduction of Born Starz will help more of our viewers to identify with
the Viasat 1 brand as their own.
“This is another step in
our continuous effort to invest in Viasat 1. Over the months, we have unveiled
a number of our own productions, and the addition of our new talent show
confirms our goal to deliver on our promise.”
The finals will be aired
on Viasat1 on Saturday 12 January 2013 at 8pm and highlights shown on Wednesday
at 8:30pm.
