TV Anywhere (TVA), a new media technology company, has teamed up with MTN, South Sudan’s largest mobile network provider, and Target Media to launch MTN TV+, South Sudan’s first mobile television platform.
MTN TV+ is a mobile streaming service that lets you watch live TV from local and international stations as well as Video on Demand (VOD) content on your smartphone, tablet, smart TV, and other smart devices.
Customers of MTN TV+ can stream live TV, Video on Demand (VOD), and catch-up content on Android and iOS apps and the web. The platform is made with the most recent technology in the digital media and streaming industries.
MTN South Sudan’s Chief Executive Officer, Gordian Kyomukama, said of the launch of such a world-class platform in the country, “This MTN TV+ Platform is our latest innovation, as part of our commitment to bring the best of the world to South Sudan.”
With MTN TV+, customers can use their phones and tablets to watch TV and other video-on-demand content from anywhere in the country. This is also our way of giving back to the creative community in our area by giving them a place to show off their work.
It is not possible to put content from South Sudan on Netflix. But now we have our places to share our stories.
Local media and content creators should use this to their advantage and start making educational and developing content that can help South Sudan grow faster.
Also talking about the launch, the CEO of TV Anywhere, Obafemi Banigbe, said, “The potential of video streaming service in South Sudan has been largely untapped, and partnering with MTN will help bring affordable and accessible entertainment service to its esteemed customers while providing a digital platform to show the enormous potential of the Media industry in the country.”
TV Anywhere is proud to be a part of this first-of-its-kind service, and we promise to work hard to make sure it is a success.
