The days of rushing home to catch your favourite show or setting reminders on your TV are behind us. Life doesn’t always align with our viewing schedules, and let’s be honest—who really has the time in today’s fast-paced world?

The GOtv Stream app offers a convenient way to enjoy your favourite shows and channels. Whether you’re on the go, multitasking, or looking to take control of your viewing time, this app provides the flexibility to watch content whenever and wherever you want. You can stream live channels, catch up on missed episodes, or even download shows for offline viewing. It’s designed to make entertainment adapt to your lifestyle, rather than the other way around.

Here is a breakdown of all the features available in the GOtv Stream app and tips on how to maximise its use.

Live TV on the Go

Gone are the days when you had to be glued to your TV at a specific time. With the GOtv Stream app, you can stream selected live channels from your GOtv package using Wi-Fi or mobile data. Whether you’re in bed, stuck in traffic, or out running errands, the app lets you stay connected to live TV wherever you are.

Catch Up So You Don’t Miss Out

We all miss shows. Sometimes it’s work, school runs, or just life getting in the way. That’s why the Catch Up section is such a win. It lets you watch selected episodes, movies, and sports highlights from the past few days whenever you’re ready. No FOMO here.

Download for Later

One of the handiest features is the ability to download up to 25 titles to watch offline. Perfect for trips or places with spotty internet. The downloads are valid for 30 days, and once you hit play, you have 48 hours to finish watching. It’s a nice way to stay entertained without burning through your data.

Personalised Profiles

Sharing your GOtv subscription with family or housemates? Everyone can now have their own profile, up to six in total, each with personalised recommendations, watch history, and a watchlist.

Note: Profiles work only on the app, not on your TV decoder.

Helpful Extras Like Guides & Reminders

Ever stumbled across a show halfway through and thought, “I wish I knew this was on”? The app comes with a TV guide and reminder function. You can also add shows to your ‘My List’ so you don’t forget them. And yes, trailers autoplay while you browse, so you can decide if a show is your vibe before committing.

The GOtv Stream app isn’t here to replace your TV; it’s here to make your viewing experience more flexible. Whether you want to stream live TV, catch up on something you missed, or just download a few episodes for the weekend, the app has you covered.

So, if you’ve got an active GOtv subscription and haven’t explored the app yet, now might be a good time to give it a proper look. You might be surprised how handy it actually is.

Big Brother is not playing this season. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any tougher for the housemates, Biggie continues to pull more twists and turns from his sleeves. At the start of the season, we were told to expect the unexpected from Biggie, and he’s certainly delivering on that promise.

The Head of House dynamics have been particularly intense. Last week, Jason Jae won the Head of House title and successfully defended it throughout the week. This week, the drama escalated when Thelma won the Head of House Challenge on Sunday, only to lose it to Victory during Monday’s Head of House Challenger.

During the launch, Ebuka mentioned that housemates would have to earn the prize this season. While many viewers initially thought this meant the usual fan-favourite voting system, Biggie had bigger plans. At the live nomination show, a major revelation changed everything. Each week, a minimum of 7.5 million naira can be added to the prize money. Starting with an initial 10 million naira, this means the total prize could reach the full 80 million naira cash prize by the season’s end, but only if the housemates earn it.

Biggie has also introduced a weekly reward system for the “most influential housemate”, with criteria that will be selected fresh each week. This adds another layer of competition beyond the traditional challenges.

This week brought the most dramatic nomination process yet. Instead of the familiar diary room nominations, Biggie left everything to chance. Housemates had to search for red envelopes scattered around the house, with each envelope containing either immunity or “better luck next time”. The plot twist? None of the housemates managed to find an immunity envelope.

As a result, all housemates are up for eviction this week, with only two exceptions: Victory, who is automatically safe as Head of House, and KayinKunmi, who was saved by Victory, the Head of House.

The introduction of the mysterious “twinket” system has added yet another layer of unpredictability to the game. After every nomination, the Head of House must pick a scroll from the twinket tree, and whatever’s written on that scroll determines what happens next.

Combined with all these unprecedented twists, this season has become the most unpredictable Big Brother experience yet. Biggie is relentlessly keeping everyone guessing, and the tension in the house is at an all-time high. With virtually the entire house vulnerable to elimination, this upcoming eviction could completely alter the game’s trajectory and power dynamics.

Don’t miss a second of the action. Catch Big Brother Naija live on GOtv Channel 49 and DStv Channel 198. And remember, your vote counts. Head over to the DStv or Africa Magic website to vote and keep your favourites in the game.

Popular television host, Mrs Morayo Afolabi-Brown, has resigned from TVC Communications and will cease to be the anchor of flagship all-women’s TV show, Your View, the second time she is taking this decision.

A statement from TVC Communications on Tuesday confirmed that Mrs Afolabi-Brown will officially stop to be a member of staff of the media platform from Thursday, August 29, 2025.

This is coming after it was rumoured that she had tendered her resignation letter to the management due to boardroom politics.

However, TVC Communications did not state this as this reason why the Managing Director of TVC Entertainment is leaving its payroll.

It was explained that she decided to step aside to concentrate on her “long-held passion project,” asking members of the public to accord her “the same respect and support she has earned over the years as she embarks on this new journey.”

The company wished Mrs Afolabi-Brown, who spent about 12 years with the organisation, success in her future endeavours.

“TVC Communications, owner of TVC News, TVC Entertainment, Max FM, Adaba FM, and Yanga FM would like to confirm that Morayo Afolabi-Brown, MD TVC Entertainment and host of our flagship all-women’s TV show, Your View, has formally tendered her resignation from TVC Communications.

“Her last working day will be Thursday, 29th August, 2025.

“Morayo’s decision to step down after 12 remarkable years as host of Your View is driven by her desire to pursue a long-held passion project that she has nurtured over time. We celebrate her for the incredible impact she has made, not only on Your View, but also to millions of viewers across Nigeria and beyond.

“Morayo will be dearly missed, however, the show remains strong and will continue to deliver the quality and relevance our audience has come to expect.

“We thank Morayo for her years of service, impact and inspiration and we wish her the very best in this new and exciting chapter. We are confident that her legacy at TVC Communications will endure, and she will always remain a cherished member of the TVC family.

“We ask that the public and media continue to accord Morayo the same respect and support she has earned over the years as she embarks on this new journey,” the statement read.

Business Post reports that this is not the first time Mrs Afolabi-Brown was resigning from the company.

In 2019, she left the broadcast organisation to “spend more quality time with my kids.”
