Nigeria is there first most important Market.
Besides football viewing centers will have choice.

And let me tell u.
Dstv will have to try 2times to beat them n what makes u think they cant offer zee world n buy the content from those who actually own it.

You mean Hiptv n nollywood cannot sell right to them again as they are currently doimg with dstv?

miketayo:


any channel can buy nollywood movies..they are always ready to sell

I will urge cautious optimism considering the antecedents and pedigree of the owner of TSTV- Dr Bright Echefu.

It may require more than mere promises and media hype before i jump into the TSTV wagon.
Is this not the same Dr. Bright Echefu that has a long list of controversies trailing him.

Dr. Bright got engaged to his wife's friend barely 5months after losing her during child birth. This was a major social media scandal that went viral.

Few months later he got arrested and charged to court for fraud. He was said to have issued a dude cheque of about N1.6m for the purchase of computers and accessories. This case was taken to court after all efforts to get him to pay was abortive.
It was then reported that the fiancé 'dumped' him as soon as he got arrested and remanded in prison.

Don't blame me if i am not as optimistic because in this case i will only pass judgement after 6months of launch considering the pedigree of the CEO.

You're on point. Nigerian want good stuff but does not want to pay for it. Cable TV is expensive every part of the world. It cost over $120 to get a decent channels in States and it could go as high as $250 with all the add on. Good stuff does not come cheap thought DSTV monopoly is long overdue but the new Cable TV is not a rival for DSTV. I am of the opinion DSTV would concentrate on the rich while the new cable TV target the middle class and the poor.

koboko69:


Why didnt y add that the $120 comes with unlimited 4GLTE. How much is $120 a month for sattelite and wifi for someone who as a job in the states?

whitebeard:
Yay..so what's next

(Might as well add it to president buhari's administration achievement list)

Hypocrisy.!

veekid:
DSTV is in trouble. They should start packing their loads already. TSTV is entitled to run tax free for 3 years! Good initiative by our govt

Chartey:


You mean they'll buy the kind of movies shown on Africa Magic Showcase and still charge 3k? You mean they'll develop programs like Tinsel, Jacob's Cross and still charge 3k? You mean they can have a channel like Ebony Life that produces movies like Wedding Party and still charge subscription of 3k?
My brother, wait for the disappointment called TSTV

Tecno66:
My point is that government has to find a way to achieve steady power supply. Though I appreciate the efforts being made so far but I tell you it takes the grace of God for businesses to succeed in Nigeria because of the high cost of fueling generators.

SOLMICHAEL:

Yes!! And even a free nuclear power station.

Chartey:
Nollywood producers will still prefer to give Africa Magic their new movies because DSTV pays them better.

DSTV has poured millions of dollars in into the Nigerian Professional Football League without any profit yet the govt did not give them any tax relief. I see this development making the NFF very uncomfortable.

TV stations like Soundcity and Hip TV will still prefer the DSTV platform because they pay them better. Besides DSTV is partly responsible for the acceptance of Nigerian music across Africa.

Many people are addicted to the shows Telemundo and Zee World which TSTV does not have. Not everybody watches sport. That was the same assumption that killed HiTv.

I don't see DSTV collapsing. They're in so many countries although Nigeria is their second most important market. They have over 200 channels with something for everybody.

People don't know that subscription is actually cheaper in Nigeria than for instance Ghana. Cable TV is a luxury everywhere in the world. Sky is expensive in the UK too.

This competition will be good for the Nigerian consumer and is welcome but people please let's not get our hopes too high. TSTV has to earn credibility and our support.
