MTN Uganda has launched
MTNTV, a new digital entertainment platform designed to bring live television,
radio, movies, sports and other digital content together in a single streaming
experience.
The platform, launched under
MTN Uganda’s digital services portfolio, aims to expand access to entertainment
while creating new opportunities for Ugandan creators, including filmmakers,
musicians, broadcasters, educators and digital storytellers.
Speaking on the launch, MTN
Uganda Chief Executive Officer Mulinge Sylvia said MTNTV represents more than
just another streaming service, highlighting its role in enabling greater
participation in the digital economy.
She said the platform is
designed to help creators reach wider audiences, build businesses around their
content and use technology as a tool for innovation and economic empowerment.
“Digital inclusion is moving
beyond access to technology; it is about enabling people to participate, create
and benefit from the digital economy,” Mulinge said.
She encouraged Ugandan and
African creators to use the platform to share their stories with local and
global audiences, noting that African content has the potential to drive
inspiration, cultural visibility and economic growth.
MTNTV provides users with
access to a variety of entertainment options, including live TV channels, radio
stations, movies and sports content, through a seamless digital experience
available on mobile devices.
The launch forms part of MTN
Uganda’s broader efforts to support digital transformation by developing
platforms that connect consumers, businesses and creators while promoting local
innovation and content production.
Mulinge said the platform
represents a new opportunity for Uganda’s creative industry, adding that the
country’s stories, talent and experiences deserve greater visibility on the
global stage.
