This is aligned with our ambition to deliver digital solutions for Africa’s progress.” Selorm Adadevoh, MTN Group Chief Commercial, Strategy and Transformation Officer said

MTN One TV is being introduced progressively across MTN markets through a phased rollout approach that reflects local market needs, existing services, and partnership opportunities.

Over time, MTN will bring together a combination of video capabilities, content partnerships, and customer experiences under the MTN One TV brand to create a more consistent and scalable entertainment proposition across its footprint.
