Viasat 1, Ghana’s leading
entertainment television station, has rolled out the latest addition of its
locally-produced programmes titled ‘The 5 Brides’. The introduction of ‘The 5
Brides’ series emphasises Viasat 1’s determination to collaborate with local
production houses to bring viewers the best of local content.
Easy access to globalised
television content is fast turning the Ghanaian into ‘consumers’ of foreign
culture, which is mildly eroding the Ghanaian way of living.
Based on research and by
popular request from its viewers, Viasat 1 has chalked very good ratings since it
began airing high-standard/ quality series and reality shows. Produced by Venus Films in
conjunction with Viasat 1 Television, ‘The 5 Brides’ tells the story of five
young married women, and the unique problems that characterise their marriage
lives. Their lives revolve around the joys and angers of love, betrayal, deceit
and what goes on in a typical Ghanaian marriage or love setting. The story also
touches on controversies, innocence and issues relating to parenting.Viasat decided to partner
Venus productions to come up with this fantastic work to get Ghanaians to
relate more to what they see on Viasat 1.

we believe our viewers will be entertained and educated at the same time. To
pursue this, Viasat 1 has unveiled a number of programmes to strengthen our
local content. We have secured the rights to programmes such as ‘Desperation’,
‘Home Sweet Home’, ‘Illusions’ and ‘Living with Trisha’, all of which currently

young, contemporary and fresh movie stars including Paulina Oduro, Chantelle
Asante, Regina Nelson, Kalsoume Sinare, Julia Clement and Princess Shyngle;
