Demand Africa, which is being launched by The Africa Channel
(TAC), will be primarily subscription-based and will offer
complementary content to TAC. Unlike TAC, Demand Africa will focus
on short-form content, spotlighting African culture, lifestyle,
entertainment and travel. At launch, the new channel will be
available on the web, iOS, Android, Roku, AppleTV, and FireTV.
“Brightcove provided us with the technology to get Demand Africa
up and running quickly and at a low cost,” Dean Cates, director of
digital strategy and marketing, The Africa Channel, said. “We’re
eager to see the result of our partnership next month when the
service debuts on Apple TV, Roku, and for mobile devices.”
“The Africa Channel has distinguished itself by delivering
dedicated content from Africa to a global audience,” Andrew
Feinberg, CEO, Brightcove, said. “We are pleased that we can help
it make the leap to streaming devices everywhere with the creation
of Demand Africa and look forward to partnering with them on the
service in the future.”
