The Airtel TV app, which is available on Android and iOS, is subscription-free and offers registered users unlimited access to live TV, news and the entire Airtel TV content library. The aim is to deliver best-in-class news and entertainment to customers in Africa’s fast-growing smartphone market with content spanning movies, music videos and lots more.
