Headlines is a LIVE innovative and interactive news and current affairs programme, looking at the day’s big stories which are making the headlines that everyone’s talking about. Our show hosts will be joined by respected journalists and commentators, examining the morning’s papers and online stories whilst offering analysis and personal viewpoints on the topics that matter to you.

Meet The Programme Team
Tobi Karunwi
I’ve always wanted job where I could express my artistic flair. I started off my journey at OH as an intern without any experience or knowledge about the media industry in general. With time and chance I was fortunate enough to be given my first breakthrough as the assistant set designer for one of the shows on OHTV- Its All Good, due to my artistic abilities. I then went on to become the set designer for another flagship show called Afrika Rising as well as the OHNEWS. After a while working in the OH STUDIO department, the management took me under their wing teaching me new skills after which I became a camera operator on the latest flagship show – REAL TALK. Now, I’m a graphics designer, set designer and studio camera operator.
