# YokoTV > YokoTV (https://yokotv.online) is a free live TV guide and player for South Africa and the world. 7 960 live channels, South African ones first (SABC 1, SABC 3, SABC News, SABC Education), with a daily TV guide. No account or app is needed; it runs in the browser on phones, laptops and smart TVs. YokoTV does not own or produce the channels. It lists streams that broadcasters and free streaming services publish themselves, checks them several times a day and drops the dead ones. Some channels only play in certain countries. Watching is free and funded by adverts on browsing pages. YokoTV Premium removes the adverts for R29 a month or R249 a year (ZAR); every channel stays free without it. Every page is also available as Markdown: request it with the header `Accept: text/markdown`. ## Main pages - [Home](https://yokotv.online/): what YokoTV is, featured channels, questions and answers -
