Kessben TV Launches Groundbreaking Mobile Streaming Platform, Setting Industry Benchmark

The project, spearheaded in 2015 by Mr. Abubakr Siddique Muntaka as Head of IT and Project Lead, in collaboration with James Amoah, marks a significant technological milestone for the Kessben Group. Utilizing cutting-edge solutions such as Wowza Streaming Engine, Red5, and Adobe Media Server, the team successfully built a powerful, on-premise streaming infrastructure that directly supports high-quality live video broadcasting to mobile devices.

This advancement enabled Kessben TV audiences to enjoy uninterrupted access to their favorite programs in real time via a custom-built mobile application, expanding the station’s reach far beyond traditional TV sets. The mobile platform was developed to optimize viewing on both Android and iOS devices, delivering smooth, reliable, and secure streaming across varying network conditions.

Speaking at the internal launch event, Kessben Group CEO Mr. Stephen Boateng (popularly known as Mr. Kesse) hailed the initiative as a “monumental achievement that places Kessben ahead of all major media houses in Ghana, including giants like Multimedia Group and Multichoice.” He added, “This is a proud moment for our organization. We have proven that with the right minds and commitment, Ghanaian innovation can lead the continent.”

The mobile streaming platform improves viewer accessibility and exemplifies Kessben TV’s ongoing commitment to digital transformation and media excellence. By bringing broadcast content directly to mobile screens with in-house infrastructure, Kessben sets a new benchmark for future-facing broadcasting in Ghana.

The 2015 launch cements Kessben TV’s position as a pioneer in tech-driven broadcasting and signals a continued dedication to reshaping the viewer experience through innovation.
