Nana Ama McBrown, Ghana’s most adored television personality and screen queen, has finally clarified the circumstances behind her well-known cookery program, “McBrown’s Kitchen.”
After leaving United Television (UTV) a few months earlier, McBrown made her significant media transfer to Onua TV and Onua FM, both of which are owned by the Onua Group of Media General.
However, her long-running program “McBrown’s Kitchen,” which has been a mainstay on UTV, has continued to air on the network.
Fans, however, observed that it wasn’t broadcast on Sunday, April 23, which led to rumors and conjecture.
When she appeared on Friday morning’s New Day on TV3, Nana Ama McBrown addressed the situation.
She stated that she had other plans for the show eventhough Despite Media Group has pulled the plugs on it.
“You know I used to work with UTV before my United Showbiz there, it’s my production. [Berla] I want to move forward.”
She went on to explain that the show was arguably the biggest in Ghana and she was not perturbed by the ongoing brouhaha.
“McBrown’s Kitchen has the life when it comes to cooking shows in Ghana and it’s not dying. I am at a place that I’ve been welcomed. Why do I have to cry if my show is not shown?” she quizzed.
The award-winning actress said she was conducting due diligence because she wanted to treat everyone fairly and had been asked by host Berla Mundi if she planned to move the show to Media General.
“I want to do the right thing. I pay for my show at UTV. It’s not free. They consider me too sometimes when I’m not well. They do some repetitions for me [and] that’s the bond. You have people you work with but automatically there’s a contract where I pay,” she revealed.
She continued by expressing gratitude to the UTV family for their support while reiterating the need to keep her personal life and career separate because she was growing her brand.
“If the owner or producers don’t want to give me their airtime again, it’s fine.
I don’t know the problem as at now. I have reached out and we are trying to solve it. UTV is my home, they’re family. When it comes to work I am different. I have a brand I’m managing. I am for everybody,” she pointed out.
Her latest show, ‘ONUA Showtime with McBrown’ premieres on Sunday, April 30 at 7pm.
