The Guardian newspaper (http://www.Guardian.ng),
has launched its online TV platform - Guardian TV (http://www.TV.Guardian.ng). The service will provide exclusive
video interviews, as well as up-to-the-minute videos from across the world, and
will be available on virtually any device that has an internet connection,
including personal computers, tablets, smartphones, and Smart TVs.
Guardian TV has partnered with some of the world’s top
online news and video outlets such as Al Jazeera, AFP, Reuters, CNBC
Africa, Bloomberg, Forbes Africa TV and France 24. The list also includes
Blustar Entertainment, Ebony Life TV, Ovation TV, Frontera, Channels TV, and
Omnisport, the world’s number one sports content provider.
The
Guardian’s Executive Director, Toke Alex Ibru said he is confident that the online
TV will revolutionise the short form video content market in this part of the
world. “Guardian TV will offer content providers a platform to reach out to
larger audiences and demographics, both locally and internationally. I expect
Guardian TV to in the not-too-distant-future become the number one source in
Nigeria for quality short videos on news, entertainment and sports.”
The platform, being launched in partnership with Ventra
Media Group (http://ventramedia.com/), a
full-service digital marketing and rights agency , comes after the complete
re-launch of The Guardian’s digital platform. The new service is part of a
continued investment by the group in to its digital operations and products.
The organisation has signaled its intent to launch products and services that
can compete on an international basis.
Daryn Wober, CEO, Ventra Media Group says: “We believe
that Guardian TV represents the first of its kind in the market where a
traditional newspaper business has stepped forward to provide a dedicated
online video platform. The combination of Ventra’s product and technical
expertise combined with the online reach of The Guardian will provide audiences
with an unparalleled service.”
