“Kwesé Free Sports is Africa’s largest and first PanAfrican free-to-air TV channel available in 25 countries providing premium sporting content to sports fans free. The channel holds exclusive free-to-air rights to the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia and the Premier League,” she explained at the formal launch in Lagos last week.

Aside sports channels, Kwesé TV also brings the very best in premium entertainm­ent, internatio­nal and African series and movies, award-winning children’s entertainm­ent channels and exclusive channels for the entire family to enjoy.

At Kwesé we pride ourselves in having selected a strong general entertainm­ent which we believe will be well received by viewers of all ages – kids, young adults, men and women, alike.
