“When I introduced Revolt, I wanted to build a platform that would inspire creators around the world and open doors for artistes on a global scale. To launch in Africa is a huge honour for me and this deal illustrates the true impact Revolt has on the culture here at home and abroad,” he wrote.
Revolt is available to the continent across 16 African countries through Kwese’s multi-platform offering including linear TV, mobile applications, web and streaming services.
The Kwese deal marks Revolt TV’s first international distribution partnership.
REVOLT was introduced to the African market earlier this month when Kwesé launched its full entertainment and sports bouquet in Ghana, Zambia and Rwanda. The landmark agreement brings the latest breaking music news, artist interviews, exclusive performances and original programming to African audiences, exclusively on Kwesé TV channel 605.
“Having REVOLT as part of our premium entertainment offering is a significant feat, we’re excited to be the broadcaster bringing this stable to Africa” explained President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Econet Media, Joseph Hundah. “We are gearing up to be the home of world-class and exclusive entertainment programming for the continent. Kwesé is dynamic, innovative and fresh and our channel mix reflects this.”
Viewers can enjoy exclusive shows such as The Breakfast Club, a daily topical radio-style TV program reporting on the world’s biggest music stories and news, REVOLT Sessions which showcases intimate musical performances from the world’s most loved artists and new undiscovered talent, as well as the REVOLT Music Conference which features an unprecedented line-up of keynote speakers, panellists, and performers who converge in Miami to help viewers understand and navigate the music business. This month, REVOLT’s programming schedule will also include the 5th annual Global Spin Awards, recognizing music’s top DJs from around the world, along with the network’s #BlackExcellence programming in celebration of Black History Month.
