Prior to the relaunch, a dedicated data center was set up to boost capacity for our customers to rewind and catch up on missed live content up to 4 days in the past while being able to record unlimited future content. The data center has also expanded concurrent usage capacity on the app which creates a smoother experience for users.

“YOTV app now has the largest collection of content that includes movies, live TV, live Radio, Music, Comedy, Motivational podcasts, Kids entertainment and much more. Our local video-on-demand options are unrivaled. We couldn’t have done all this without our great partner MTN and of course our brilliant content creators. We are thus excited to engage with more content creators to walk with us on this journey including musicians, filmmakers, comedians, and others” – said YOTV Channels Chief Executive Officer – Aggrey Mugisha.
