StarTimes commits to improved signal coverage and innovation

The digital TV network operator, StarTimes, has reiterated its commitment to ensuring quality signal coverage and innovative offerings both for content bouquets and decoder products. This is consistent with its renewed drive to improve digital TV entertainment services and viewing experience for Nigerians as it further deepens the penetration and acceptance of digital TV in the country.

Head of Public Relations, Mr. Israel Bolaji, recently said in Lagos that the company was particularly interested in building and providing quality nationwide signal coverage and innovative offerings which translate to pleasurable hours of digital television viewing with sharp images and stable signal for subscribers. We remain committed to developing and deploying technological infrastructure and roll out plans that guarantee very clear digital terrestrial and satellite TV signals to Nigerian TV households.

“Since 2010 we have demonstrated this commitment by consistently upping our game in terms of growing our signal strength, quality and nationwide reach. In 2010, StarTimes signals covered only 4 states, today, our signal coverage covers 35 states and extends to over 60 cities, including recent roll outs in some remote areas of Badagry, Epe, Ikorodu and Iyana Iba in Lagos.

“We understand the Nigerian masses and appreciate their entertainment needs, hence, we are sustaining the culture of offering quality and yet very affordable digital TV entertainment in line with our corporate mission for our most cherished value-for-money subscribers who are growing in millions, from being a 40-channel platform in 2010 to offering over 100 channels in 2016. While our value has increased steadily, our decoder and bouquet prices have gone down consistently from N9, 000 DTT decoder to N1990 presently,” he said.
