GTV has made significant strides in its development since beginning a pan-African rollout in June 2007 follwing its multi-language expansion into key markets.
“We see a massive opportunity in Africa, as there is very little infrastructure for cable television, which would be far too expensive for most people to install. We're seeing great adoption of satellite TV, as we can also get to less populated areas, manage and maintain that service cheaply and effectively,” says Julian McIntyre, founder and managing director of GTV.
The service will offer an entry-level package as well as a premium package, which will include up to 10 live Barclays Premier League games per week.
GTV will shortly be launching in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroon, Cote D'Ivoire, Gabon, Senegal, Congo Brazzaville, Togo and Benin.
