TVC E. The Director IT and Operations Funmi Adewon, of Continental Satellite (CONSAT) under the umbrella of Continental Broadcasting services ( CBS ) has announced on TVC ThisMorning with Yori Folarin as the host, today 5th of August 2016, that well over 100,000 CONSAT Satellite decoders will be distributed for free with the intention of reaching out to the nation as we report ‘Through African Eyes’.
In the wake of Nigeria being one of 52 African countries that missed the International Telecommunication Unions mandated deadline of June 17th, 2015 to transition from analogue to digital, Continental Broadcasting Services, owners of TVC News and TVC Entertainment and TVC Nigeria has decided to begin the process by empowering over 100,000 Nigerian households in order to ensure they are not left without television at the time of switch off. As a consequence of digital migration, it is clear that the number of households that require decoders will grow considerably.
The Director, Funmi Adewon said: ”The actions of TVC in making this bold step brings to the forefront the critical need to keep consumers aware of the implications of digital migration and make them aware that they have a choice in their selection of a pay-tv provide”.
She went further to say that: “TVC is committed to transitioning Nigerians to digital TV with the distribution of CONSAT decoders.”
Some of the channels that will be available to CONSAT subscribers include TVC news, Sky News, Fox Sports 1 &2, Fashion One, Colors and Fix and Foxi. The CONSAT channels were selected to ensure that subscribers get an exciting range of channels that cater for the whole family.
