To meet the need of people who wish to follow up on the latest pandemic information and enjoy entertainment at home, StarTimes has over 100 international and local channels of StarTimes ON free of charge, including news channels such as France 24, KTN (Kenya), TVC (Nigeria) and entertainment and educational channels such as TRACE MZIKI, TV5 MONDE and DA VINCI, to help subscribers get through the hard times. Wang Linli, Operations Director of StarTimes ON, said, "StarTimes will continue to make contributions to encourage people to stay at home to prevent infections. We have opened free access to many channels and upgraded the encoding technology of StarTimes ON to reduce broadband traffic, allowing subscribers to enjoy more content with less data when using the app. It also helps to relieve the pressure local network bandwidth and telecommunications infrastructure are facing."
