MTN Uganda Launches MTN TV by AfroMobile With 60+ Live Channels

What the report says

MTN Uganda has introduced MTN TV by AfroMobile, a digital entertainment service that gives customers access to more than 60 live television channels, 53 radio stations, movies, sports, news and African original content on multiple devices. SoftPower News said the platform was launched in Kampala and featured MTN Uganda chief executive Sylvia Mulinge at the unveiling.

The new service is part of MTN Uganda’s broader push into digital content and mobile entertainment, building on the telecom operator’s role as a major provider of connectivity and digital services in Uganda. By combining video, audio and on-demand entertainment in one platform, the offering is aimed at users who want access to content through phones, tablets and other connected devices.

The launch matters because streaming and mobile entertainment services are becoming more central across African markets, where telecom companies are increasingly partnering with content platforms to expand digital offerings. In this case, SoftPower News reported the product as a new consumer-facing bundle rather than a major network or infrastructure announcement.

More broadly, the move reflects a wider industry trend in which telecom firms seek to grow revenue and customer engagement beyond voice and data services. However, the report provided does not include pricing, rollout details or subscriber targets.
