You Can Now Watch P-O-R-N-O-G-R-A-P-H-Y On StarTimes Nigeria?

With On Digital Media, operating as TopTV acquiring majority stake in distressed Star Times, can we now say TV broadcast has come to stay in Nigeria? On Digital Media was recently licensed to broadcast three adult content channels—Playboy TV, Desire TV, and Private Spice in South Africa.

This development has made industry watchers to fear, that the Chinese pay TV operator may include the Top TV porn channels in its Nigerian bouquet offerings.

Spokesman of StarTimes Nigeria, Ayokunle Idowu, in a telephone conversation with Vanguard Newspapers had this to say,

“We have no such plans. Apart from that, I’m sure the National Broadcasting Commission, NBC, will not approve such".

But aggressive marketing of its T-1 decoders at N3,000 fuel fears that addition of the hard core channels will drive up subscription.
