The Suburban Fiber Company, providing the service Legend which offers direct fibre optic connections, has partnered with 3Vision, the international content consultancy, for content management and the acquisitions of channels. NexTV News Africa reported that the partnership will aid Suburban’s integrated premium HD brand, Legend TV and mobile product Legend Lite.
3Vision will thus lead movie deals with Hollywood studios and build up carriage deals with important entertainment brands. This will include family and educational content and will offer better quality entertainment to viewers in Nigeria. Channels will be included soon, as announced by Legend, to its library and will be accessible to subscribers of Legend.
Toby Russell, CEO of 3Vision said: “We have spent a decade working with companies in Africa, helping to launch and improve the performance of pay television services across the continent. We have amassed a wealth of invaluable experience along the way and have used this to help clients, such as Suburban Fiber Company, deliver successful and attractive pay-TV services like Legend.’
Bruce Ayonote, CEO of Suburban Fiber Company, commented: “We are very pleased to have been able to draw on the expertise 3Vision have in content acquisition for Africa. First class entertainment, drama and factual brands are key elements of our strategy for Legend and it was essential we had this content in place for our customers. We look forward to announcing further channels expansion in due course.”
