Television Opportunity

In a proposed new food programme host David Chen aims to introduce food products associated with the Caribbean.

Over the years we have seen where many new products are now gaining a space on the shelves in our mainstream grocers and supermarkets - the aim is to also be associated with that celebration - and be proud of the products produced.

David Chen is Director of The Caribbean Connection and host of BEN TV's flagship programme the Ben Breakfast Show (10am - 12 noon).

Are you interested in taking part in a TV series about Caribbean Food and Drink. Ben TV are to undertake such a series and wish to start filming in October 06. Ben is a black-owned TV station which has been going for about 8 years. It broadcasts from on sky digital platform 148, in the UK, and is shown across Europe.

If you are interested in being a part of the series, or would like to suggest features, please do so now. Opportunities are also available for sponsorship of the programmes from small and large businesses. Without the aid of license fees, and strong advertising as commanded by BBC or ITV respectively, businesses who are likely to benefit need to support this smaller channel, and realise the opportunity for TV advertising is much cheaper than it would be on ITV, Channel 4 or Sky Sports.

The producer is keen to go on location, so your restaurant, factory, shop, catering job or offices would be good backdrops, and extra publicity. During filming, an ad can be created for your product, which will be included in the sponsorship price.

Caribbean Food Emporium will work with Ben TV producers to ensure the programmes promote Caribbean Cuisine to maximum effect, and get best value for CCC members.
