Africa’s leading digital TV operator StarTimes has launched its App video streaming service in Nigeria.

To mark launching of the new service, the first 40,000 users can enjoy a very attractive pre-order offer for watching World Cup on StarTimes App. From 7th to 13th June, the first 40,000 subscribers only paid N450,000.00 only to subscribe to “ON Sport” on StarTimes App in order to watch all 64 World Cup matches Live and in HD, including battles of Nigeria on the pitch. The original price of the “ON Sport” service is N1,500.00

Besides live matches, full highlights, build-ups, interviews, analysis and magazine shows will also be available with the 5 StarTimes sports channels in the StarTimes “ON Sport” service.

Speaking on the new innovation, StarTimes OTT Operation Director, Tony Tuo, noted that, “It is impossible to miss any moment of the World Cup with our App. There is absolutely no need to worry about the weather condition, signal quality, electricity or being in transit. Wherever you may be, with just a steady internet connection, the StarTimes App will get you fully entertained”.

The App he also noted, can be downloaded from various app stores, including Google Play, iOS Store and StarTimes website while the Pay-TV subscribers can also check and recharge their subscription online through the App.

“Over 70 channels covering movies, series, documentaries, music and sports, are currently open to all users for free in a limited time on the StarTimes App. Video streaming service is a future trend and StarTimes hopes our service will pioneer for African digital TV industry,” he added.
