Since it premiered its third season in March, The Voice Nigeria has gained traction both in digital and traditional media. The combined views of its blind auditions episodes on YouTube have garnered over three million views. This is not in addition to the talents and coaches’ interview clips. On average, the reality TV show records 500,000 views on YouTube, according to its PR company, Seid.
Having the episodes on a digital platform like YouTube helps put the participating talents in the global spotlight. Usually, the episodes get aired on selected TV channels first. In this case, Africa Magic Channels on DStv, Views TV, and Wazobia TV are the dedicated TV channels that air the singing competition. The episodes are then uploaded on YouTube for fans to either catch up or relive moments. YouT
