StarTimes has declared a 7- day free viewing opportunity for its customers to enjoy the eight recently launched channels on its DTT pay-tv service.
The channels would be available for all subscription bouquets through an Open Week, from November 10 to November 16, when dormant and active subscribers would have free viewing access to the newly launched channels on the pay-tv platform.
Speaking at the flag-off session, Israel Bolaji, public relations manager of the NTA-Star Network, said StarTimes would not relent in its efforts to ensure that its customers get quality content.
“We would continually improve on the quality of content available on our platform to meet up with the content demands of our customers; this is why we are declaring these eight new channels free through our Open Week. For one week, (Dormant and Active customers) can experience the new channels for free on our pay-tv bouquets,” he said.
He noted that StarTimes would continue to address the content needs of its customers by providing quality content aimed at meeting their individual and family needs.
