UAE-based satellite broadcasting company Yahlive is growing its platform with the addition of an African entertainment channel, Clouds TV International, with immediate activation. The new station joins Yahlives growing portfolio of channels broadcasting from the East Beam across the Levant, GCC and South West Asia.

Focused on delivering the very best entertainment programming for audiences across the African Diaspora as well as lovers of world beat music, Clouds TV International will contribute to continuing expansion of Yahlives geographical and viewer traction across the priority East Beam region. The addition is also a demonstration of Yahlives ongoing commitment to cater for diverse cultures and interests, bringing on board the most in-demand entertainment channels.

As a result, the new addition is consistent with the companys ongoing growth trajectory and in line with the East Beams strategic focus to meet the needs of regional audiences across the Middle East, North Africa and South West Asia.
Joseph Kusaga, CEO of Clouds TV International said: “With the launch of Clouds TV International on Yahlive this is the fulfillment of a vision we have had as an organisation for several years now to bring quality entertainment to the rapidly growing African diaspora within the GCC. Until now there has been no broadcast medium targeting this demographic and I am proud to say today that Clouds TV International, with our partner Yahlive, is here to fill that void and to deliver the very best in programming from across the continent of Africa to our viewers and to deliver exceptional ROI for our advertisers and sponsors.
Yahlive offers a mix of programmes for Farsi, Pashto, Dari and Kurdish speaking audiences, confirming the companys vision of catering for diverse communities and needs.
