GOtv turning Spanish in Kenya

GOtv Kenya is set to expand its offerings to viewers by bringing additional content, including a new Spanish language channel.

GOtv already provides channels such as SuperSport, AfricaMagic and MTV Bass and speaking at a media briefing general manager of the broadcaster, Felix Kyengo, said: “GOtv has a wide range of genres. From music, movies, fashion, series, lifestyle and sports; to news, documentaries, current affairs and kids – we have it all.”

One of the new channels is Telemundo, a 24-hour telenovela channel that will offer a wide range of themes from romance stories, mystery, action and adventure to stories based on real-life events.

In August the football seasons at home and abroad are about to begin again with action from the EPL, Bundesliga, Series A and the UEFA Champions League all featuring.

GOtv has three bouquets available in Kenya: GOtv, GOtv Plus and GOtv Open.
