Showmax has announced the addition of five Kenyan entertainment and new channels to its platform. The channels join some of the other international channels that have been available on the streaming platform.
Showmax already hosts some popular local and international shows and just recently added lie sport from SuperSport on Showmax Pro. Now, Showmax has added a selection of live channels to its content catalogue. The channels include:
- K24 TV
- KBC Channel 1
- KTN Home
- KTN News
- NTV
The live channels will be available to Showmax and Showmax Pro subscribers, including the mobile plans, and will be available on web and mobile devices, as well as select Samsung and LG Smart TVs.
Speaking about the development, Yolisa Phahle, CEO of Connected Video at MultiChoice, said: “We’re constantly working on new ways to improve the Showmax experience for our subscribers. Whether it’s M-Pesa payments or daily episodes of Maisha Magic favourites like Selina, Kina and Kovu as well as weekly episodes of Sol Family and Hullabaloo Estate, our local-first approach keeps our Kenyan subscribers top of mind.
“With the addition of these live channels, Showmax offers Kenyans a one-stop streaming destination featuring the best of international and Kenyan shows, movies and kids’ shows, the world’s best sport from SuperSport on our Pro plan and now, live streams of Kenya’s biggest channels.”
The launch of the live channels follows the launch of Showmax Pro in July, which adds live sport from SuperSport, news and music channels to the existing entertainment catalogue. Both Showmax and Showmax Pro are available on a mobile plan that is half the price and available to stream on mobile devices.
