The partnership will synergize and enhance each brand. Ova Media Group will remain focused on its marquee brand OVA TV, expand its music division through UMG, and further develop and launch the podcast and radio broadcast division partnered with iHeart Radio.

“All the major networks are controlled by a small handful of corporations that have an interest in the products advertised. Niche networks like ours, which cater to women of color, curate content to sectors of the population that are not often represented in the mainstream media. Ova aims to offer viewers an accurate portrayal of the people represented. We always want to be entertaining, and we make sure to stay away from stereotypes and anything that may be offensive.“
