Globacom has become the latest entrant in the TV streaming market. The service, Glo TV, will be powered by the telco’s 4G infrastructure which it says has been deployed in nearly every state in Nigeria.
The telco operates the first wholly-owned local submarine cable GLO 1. While it is yet to fully utilise the capacity of the cable, the company’s 4G internet is one of the few widespread in the country.
Glo says the 4G will ensure that the users will experience less interruptions when streaming videos and TV programmes on the new Glo TV app.
The mobile TV service is expected to stream highly sought-after television content to millions of subscribers via their desktop and mobile handheld devices.
“Glo TV brings engaging, interactive and premium entertainment content through a rich bouquet of offerings including hundreds of live entertainment programmes, music, documentary, news, original shows, fashion, lifestyle, kiddies’ interest channels and over 1,000 videos as the company continues to partner with content providers to address the needs of more customers across social strata,” the company said.

The network will also cater to the content preferences of Nigerians across different socio-economic groups and offer them an exclusive opportunity to experience best-in-class TV content.
For instance, subscribers who are news lovers and want to follow international news as it breaks can catch up with news-on-the-go channels including Aljazeera and France24, while subscribers who have interest in documentary channels can watch CGTN and RT Documentary, among many others.
Children’s interests are also well taken care of by Glo TV. Regular kiddies’ channels such as ZooMOO, English Club TV and Lollykids are on offer to give healthy entertainment and robust education to children of all ages. This will ensure that they are not only acquiring new knowledge, but that they are also adequately entertained in line with the best practices of television viewership.
Subscribers of all ages will have access to movie channels including Nolly Africa, African Movie Channel and Legacy Network, among others. Glo TV will also offer exclusive content and premiers to the delight of its viewers.
