eMedia is moving to capture a great slice of the market with the launch of eVOD on Android TVs.
As South Africans increasingly adopt streaming media services over traditional linear broadcasts, eMedia is moving to capture a great slice of the market by developing an app for smart TVs that run Google’s Android operating system.

eMedia said on Thursday that eVOD, its homegrown streaming service that includes a mix of free-to-air and premium content options, is now available on Android TV.

Chief technology officer Junior Qwabe said in a statement that delivering eVOD on Android smart TVs has been a “long-term goal” for eMedia.

Qwabe said eMedia plans to expand eVOD to other major smart TV platfomrs “in the near future”.
