Link Up TV is one of Europe's leading platforms for emerging music talent. Its grime music channel boasts over 1.4m subscribers and generates more than 400m views on YouTube annually. The partnership will see Brave Bison continue to support with the management of Link Up TV's flagship YouTube channel, as well as help build and implement a new content strategy centred around youth entertainment.

Rashid Kasirye, Founder of Link Up TV, commented: " From the beginning we have always put content front & centre of our strategy and as a result we have built up a loyal and engaged audience base and a reputation for high production and innovation. We're excited to launch a range of new formats in the coming months and having a partner with such a deep understanding of how to succeed on digital platforms is paramount to our success. We are delighted to continue our long-term relationship with Brave Bison and look forward to working with the team on the new series."
