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.

“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.

Adding to his voice, Susan Kayemba the MTN Uganda Senior Manager for Digital Services said that MTN’s partnership with YOTV is hinged on MTN’s mission to champion local content consumption by offering clients a seamless yet convenient and affordable platform.

“The potential of YOTV channels to take local content to the world is absolutely undebatable. With the newly unveiled products, we are optimistic that more people will enjoy more Ugandan content. As MTN, we are here to support Ugandan Innovations and YOTV is the epitome of this.” said Kayemba.
