“AVO brings together the best of local TV channels, such as AIT, Silverbird, TVC, WAP and OnMax, alongside premium international channels, including Bloomberg, Al Jazeera, SportsGrid, IndieFlix, Unreel and Gusto TV, plus all the latest Nollywood blockbusters”, the statement said.
Awaes Jaswal, the CEO, said: “We are delighted to announce AVO TV’s presence in Nigeria as our first major market in Africa. Our aim for AVO TV is to make premium content available to everyone, not just those who can afford expensive pay TV subscriptions.
“As data and internet costs reduce over the coming years, we hope that AVO TV will be the main source of TV for all Nigerians”.
Even though it was launched in June this year, AVO TV has amassed over 200,000 downloads, and viewers have already streamed over 10 million minutes of content via the app.
Downloads and watch times continue to grow rapidly, regularly putting AVO TV at the top of the Google Play Store charts in Nigeria.
Speaking further, Mr Jaswal noted that the company planned continuous improvement of its TV and VOD offerings.
Jaswal added, “We are delighted with the progress made towards our content strategy and have some fantastic content partners already on-board.
“However, we are determined to give our users a constantly improving product and have a number of new and exciting content deals to announce over the coming weeks. Our aim is to add new content on a regular basis.”
