About GTV - www.gtv.tv

Africa represents the least penetrated pay-TV region in the world with less than 1% of television-owning households in sub-Saharan Africa currently subscribing to pay-TV services, compared to 15% in Eastern Europe, 36% in Western Europe and 93% in North America. However, with over 46 million TV sets and growing at well over 10% per annum, Africa represents a large and rapidly growing market for subscription television which Gateway’s own independently commissioned research estimates will grow to over $3bn by 2015.

GTV is a dynamic new Pan-African pay-TV service delivering choice, quality and innovation to a new breed of TV viewer. With a balanced and exciting choice of premium content, GTV is redefining pay-TV in Africa by offering it at a price point accessible to the ordinary African. GTV is committed to supporting local content as well as offering major international programming ideal for the whole family.

The direct-to-home, satellite-based service will deliver the highest quality digital reception across the continent.
