Recently, a brand-new online streaming TV was launched in Lagos, Nigeria. It is SuperTV. The promoters of SuperTV led by the acting CEO and Chief Content Strategist, Ijeoma Onah, believe that SuperTV has come to disrupt the online entertainment streaming business.
According to her SuperTV enters the market with a strategy that is customer-centric. In fact, she says that the subscriber is in the centre of SuperTV creative imagination. The SuperTV package is full to the brim with so many mouth-watering and enticing offerings and propositions too good to be believed. But in this article, we will examine just five of the core benefits of streaming online entertainment on SuperTV.
