SEE TV is a Ugandan television network based in the Naguru area of Kampala. It launched in July 2021 and began broadcasting on 1 August 2021.[1][2] The channel broadcasts a range of programming, including news, business, politics, entertainment, lifestyle, and sports content.[3]
Establishment
The SEE TV was launched in July 2021 and began broadcasting on 1 August 2021.[4][2] The channel provides programming aimed at Ugandan audiences, including news, current affairs, and locally produced content.
Its programming has included a focus on news and current affairs within Uganda’s television sector.[2]
SEE TV entered into a sponsorship agreement with the Kampala City Council in 2021, serving as the team’s shirt sponsor.[5][6] The agreement was later terminated before the end of its initial term.[7][8][9]
The channel is available on Free To Air and on subscription platforms including GOTV and Startimes.[2]
Industry
The SEE TV was launched during a period of transition in Uganda’s broadcasting sector, including the shift from analog to digital television systems.[10] The migration to digital broadcasting, overseen by the Uganda Communications Commission, has involved changes in transmission standards and access to television services.[10]
SEE TV operates within Uganda’s television market alongside both state-owned and private broadcasters, including the Uganda Broadcasting Corporation, and NTV Uganda.[10] The sector has expanded since the late 1990s, with the introduction of multiple private television stations.[11][12][2]
The channel has also been referenced in reports concerning investigations into the distribution of copyrighted content without authorization.[13]
Programming and presenters
The SEE TV has broadcast a range of programmes, including news, talk shows, entertainment, and lifestyle content.
Some of its programming has included shows such as PM Edition, Sunrise at SEE, and The Big Debate, along with other entertainment and discussion-based formats.[14][15]
The channel has featured a number of presenters across its programmes, including Adams Mayambala, Melissa Mboha, Aaliyah Nanfuka, and Ramlah Katumba, among others.
