PrideTV’s most watched is most interesting:

PrideTV, Africa’s only LGBT video-on-demand (VOD) channel, has released its first LGBT ‘Most Watched Movie List’ that tracks the top streaming content amongst the continent’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community.

“PrideTV’s Most Watched Movie List provides insight into the type of content that scores top marks amongst LGBT people. It further helps promote understanding of the community by casting light on the issues that matter to them. Knowing what strikes a chord with someone is an opener to connecting with them,” explains Joanne Raphael Katz, spokesperson for PrideTV.

Top of the VOD pops is ‘The Wishmakers’ (Gay), ‘Mary Marie’ (Lesbian), ‘Dog Tags’ (Bisexual), ‘Bob’s New Suit’ (Transgender) and ‘Leather’ (LGBT overall).

The Wishmakers is about that most eternal of themes across all communities – finding love in the big city; Mary Marie is about sisterly love overcoming a beloved mother’s passing; Dog Tags examines affection between a straight man and a gay friend; Bob’s New Suit is about falling for a get-rich-quick-scheme as a way to provide for a young family; and Leather is about reuniting with a childhood friend.

“What’s most interesting about the most watched movies on PrideTV is that the themes deal with the deep-seated issues of being human – they’re stories that are familiar to all of us, no matter our sexual orientation,” says Ms Raphael Katz.

PrideTV became Africa’s first LBGT streaming channel following its launch last year. “PrideTV is fully embracing its role as Africa’s flagship LGBT entertainment channel by offering the widest LGBT content while also offering support for issues that affect the LGBT community such as last month’s International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia & Biphobia that it helped publicise.”

Anyone can join PrideTV’s community regardless of their location. PrideTV’s premium video entertainment offering costs the equivalent of just R79 a month (or R790 for 12 months with 2 months free) and viewers subscribe by visiting www.prideTV.co.za. International viewers can pay via credit card in their local currency.

No specialised hardware beyond the viewer’s usual Internet access device is required to access PrideTV. The service can be viewed on smart televisions, desktop computers, laptops, tablets or mobile phones using either iOS or Android operating systems.

“PrideTV encourages anyone interested in building better relationships with LGBT friends, relatives and co-workers to sample the shows on our Most Watched Movie List,” concludes Ms Raphael Katz.
