IN a move aimed at taking its vibrant and diverse content even further beyond the boundaries of traditional media, One Africa Television (OATV) signed a live streaming and video-on-demand agreement with TV2Africa.com.
Viewers can now enjoy OATV content on TV2Africa, a platform built for content providers, broadcasters and communities who want to broadcast on the internet.
“This new development is one of the many ways in which OATV is enhancing its offerings in the ever-evolving new media world,” says chief executive officer of One Africa, Stefan Hugo. “As a content creator and curator, OATV continuously strives to make the stories we convey more accessible to audiences and, at the same time, increase multi-platform audience reach for our clients and other stakeholders”.
“The partnership means that viewers have even more platform options to watch their favourite OATV shows,” the station’s content manager Taleni Shimhopileni adds. “This is also a great opportunity to make available our locally relevant and entertaining content to the many Namibians who love OATV. The TV2Africa linear live stream and video-on-demand access (for selected OATV local shows) complements the success our digital content had on our social media platforms over the last two years.”
Viewers can live stream OATV on TV2Africa.com or download the TV2Africa app to enjoy popular shows like ‘Today on One’, ‘The Tribe’, ‘It’s a Wrap’ and ‘Master Your Destiny Africa’.
Namibia’s first commercial free-to-air television station, OATV was founded in 2003 with coverage limited to Windhoek and Rehoboth. OATV has since extended broadcast coverage and is available on Multichoice platforms GoTV (channel 90) and DStv (channel 284).
Since the roll-out of the Namibian digital terrestrial network under the NBC, OATV broadcasts on channel 301. The live stream is also available to DStv subscribers on Multichoice’s DStv Now app. Selected content is published daily on OATV’s social media.
