ducktv, the edutainment children’s offering operated by Mega Max Media, has signed a partnership agreement with Digital Virgo for distribution of the linear channel on its networks in Africa and the Middle East.
The channel has been launched through Molotov’s OTT service deployed by Digital Virgo in Senegal, Cameroon, Burkina Faso and Ivory Coast and on Streaming illimite in Bahrain, Egypt, Oman, UAE, Kuwait and Iraq.

This cooperation will significantly expand the reach of the ducktv brand bringing our expertly curated, high-quality toddler’s content to new audiences in numerous territories in Africa and the Middle East”.

Thanks to this new collaboration we can enrich Digital Platforms we distribute such as Molotov. A success made of a strong telco’s partnerships networks worldwide, optimized monetisation strategy and high quality content added to the service,” added Vincent Taradel, Marketing Director at Digital Virgo.
