Nigeria’s locally owned pay television platform, HiTV, has now over 100,000 subscribers, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The station, owned by Entertainment Highway Limited, commenced operations on February 1, 2007, with a pledge to provide qualitative, informative and entertaining content to Nigerians at affordable rates.
It also promised to give customers value for money through compelling content and technical quality.
The Chief Operating Officer, HiTV, Mr. Olumide Amore, was quoted as saying that an unprecedented patronage had propelled the subscriber base from 25,000 in August last year, to 47,000 in December, over 70,000 in February 2008 and 122,000 at the end of July 2008.
Amore said having overcome the initial start-up challenges as freezing of satellite signals and late kick off of live matches, the platform was poised to offer subscribers quality services, having invested heavily in equipment and infrastructure as well as recruiting tested hands.
