The Channel O Music Video Awards Red Carpet is always a sight to see from the clear hits to the major misses. Fashion and more Fashion is the name of the game and Africa has all the colours to make for a very interesting night. Last year the red carpet was taken on by a very fashionable Channel O presenter, Dineo Moeketsi, who got to chat to all the artists who came out to celebrate African music. This year she is accompanied by Nigerian R&B sensation Banky W and they will be taking on the main awards show which will be broadcast LIVE on Friday, 11 November 2011 at 21:00 CAT. This year�s Channel O Music Video Awards red carpet will be taken on by Angolan Channel O VJ turned Big Brother superstar Weza and Tanzania beauty and new Channel O VJ Jokate. Weza will be on the main red carpet to get up close and personal interviews with artists and celebrities, while Jokate will venture out to the pre-drinks area as well as back stage at the awards. Weza joined Channel O as Top Mais host � a music chart show that celebrates both local and internationally based Hip-Hop and R&B artists, the cr�me de le cr�me that Mozambique and Angola has to offer � and this year sees 24 year university graduate Jokate Urban Mwegelo join the O family.
