Multiplatform pay television operator MultiChoice has partnered with Equity Bank to boost set box uptake locally ahead of the Government-led analogue signal switch off.
The partnership is expected to enable millions of Kenyans to switch from analogue to digital transmission by delivering leading technology infrastructure, which enables subscribers to enjoy the latest television innovations at an affordable cost.
MultiChoice Kenya General Manager Danny Mucira said as a high quality pay television service in Kenya, MultiChoice has always ensured that it is on the cutting edge of technology, content and service, which has resulted in consistent improvements in subscribers’ viewing and enjoyment.
“This timely financing partnership will ensure Kenyans are able to enjoy the benefits of digital entertainment from our brands (both GOtv and DStv) with financial ease,” said Mucira.
Equity Bank Chief Operating Officer Julius Kipng’etich said the move would support migration to the new digital platform and enable Kenyans continue enjoying television after the cut-off date.
“We are delighted with this partnership as we seek to facilitate the acquisition of decoders,” he noted.
