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.
