Gotv Signal Goes Live in Kaduna



After successful launches in Ibadan, Port Harcourt, Lagos, Enugu, Benin City, Aba, Owerri and Kano the new DTT (digital terrestrial television) service GOtv has rolled out its services to Kaduna, Kaduna State; the commercial nerve center of Northern Nigeria.

GOtv provides television lovers with a digital quality picture and sound and an exciting line up of local and international channels.  GOtv subscribers will have access to an exciting selection of channels containing news, children’s programming, documentaries, series and movies which are carefully selected to cater for a variety of different tastes and family viewing needs at a very affordable price.

GOtv’s channel lineup includes AfricaMagic, AfricaMagic Movies, AfricaMagic World, AfricaMagic Yoruba, AfricaMagic Hausa, E! Entertainment, Discovery World, eTV Africa, Vox Africa, Select Sports, Al Jazeera and CNN, Channel O, MTV Base, Disney Junior, Nickelodeon, Kidsco, Islam Channel, One Gospel, Sound City and Black Belt TV which gives families a great selection. Plus, GOtv will also add two channels; M-Net Movies Zone and SuperSport Select 2 this week.

Launched by Details Nigeria in association with MultiChoice Nigeria, GOtv utilizes the DVB-T2 technology standard, which allows for no less than 21 channels per frequency, this is different from other first generation standard DVB-T1, which only allow for up to 13 channels per frequency. Thus, there is a dramatic improvement on the dividend of terrestrial frequencies available when DVB-T2 is deployed.

Kaduna residents are now set to benefit from easy access to an increased number of channels, with enhanced picture and sound quality synonymous with digital television at a price they can afford. 

Mrs. Elizabeth Amkpa, General Manager of GOtv says that the brand provides great family entertainment at a prize that everyone can afford: “GOtv is the best value for money pay television offering on DTT in Nigeria and it comes with a broad selection of local channels made in Africa for Africans “

She says that GOtv is delivered to homes in Nigerian via the use of the latest DVB-T2 technology which guarantees a one-off migration to the digital age: “With the use of DVB-T2 technology, GOtv gives subscribers a dramatic improvement on the dividend of terrestrial frequencies. With GOtv, Nigerians can experience the digital television revolution in the comfort of their homes because GOtv delivers a selection of exciting channels in great picture and sound quality.”

GOtv subscribers are encouraged to make use of the outside antennae: “We encourage subscribers to take advantage of the GOtenna that is provided to ensure increased signal strength and better protection against mobile phone and car interference,” urged Mrs. Amkpa. With GOtenna customers should expect uninterrupted viewing and excellent picture quality, especially in areas where the signal is too low for indoor antenna reception.

About DTT

DTT stands for Digital Terrestrial Television (or Transmission). It refers to the broadcasting of terrestrial television in a digital format. Currently, terrestrial broadcasting in most African countries is in an analogue format. Most countries are in the process of planning and implementing the migration from analogue to digital television.

Terrestrial television uses a network of transmission towers to relay the signal across the country. Each transmission tower has a specific area of coverage, and it is the network of coverage that provides television signals across the country.
