The launch, which saw Darth Vader take on John Snow in a humorous battle, promo-ed shows like Shameless, Game of Thrones and Friends, as well as local entertainment, British favourites and movies of various genres. Kotsaftis stated that the platform will offer over 11 000 hours of viewing.

“We live and die by the content,” he says.
