StarTimes Media has today held a ground breaking ceremony for the Group’s Africa Headquarters and Dubbing Center for Film and Broadcast Television in Kenya. The company which marked its entry into the Kenyan market in 2009 intends to spend up to Ksh 6.9 Billion to set up the facility whose completion date is expected at the end of 2015.
This latest development is StarTime’s key investment in Africa and one likely to have a major positive impact on the country’s economy as more multinationals continue to grow their confidence in the country through set up of hub offices in Kenya.
The premise will cover 20,000 ㎡ in Karen, Nairobi and is expected to cost Ksh 6.9 Billion. The Base will see the setup of six units including StarTimes African Headquarter, StarTimes Kenya offices, a Film and Television Dubbing Center, StarTimes Broadcast Station, Digital TV research and development centre as well as a Training Center. Upon completion, this will equally become a complete production centre of clip selecting, dubbing, broadcasting and copyright trading.
