Dickson in performing the launch for the season five of the show, expressed satisfaction that the reality show had come to stay and was making positive impact on Ghanaian children.

The CEO continued that the show is a platform to for children between the ages of seven and 12, to unearth their talents and be guided through systematic support of grooming into stardom.

He urged parents of contestants to collaborate with the production team for a successful show.

The Head of Brands and Communication, Felix Dontoh said Talented Kidz is a show that recognizes the rights of children and will not compromise anything that will expose them to abuse, adding that the role of parents in post contest management was crucial.
