DStv’s new BBC Channel Launches Today
In order to increase the diversity, quality, and inventiveness of the British-produced material offered through the multiple BBC channels on DStv, a sixth BBC channel will be launched to the DStv platform today.
BBC UKTV will debut on channel 134, and will be accessible to viewers of all bouquets in Zimbabwe, including DStv Premium, DStv Compact Plus, DStv Compact, DStv Family, DStv Access, and DStv Lite.
This information was provided by Liz Dziva, publicity and public relations manager of MultiChoice Zimbabwe.
“BBC UKTV will feature a wide range of 24/7 entertainment, natural history series, soaps and children’s shows from BBC’s award-winning showcase.
“Itwill introduce new programmes and become a platform for popular shows that have been on the other BBC channels in the past, as it is designed to be of appeal to all ages and all viewers,” said Ms Dziva.
The other channels from Britain’s 100-year-old national broadcaster are BBC Earth, BBC Brit, BBC Lifestyle, CBeebies and BBC World News.
“BBC’s existing suite of channels will continue to offer first-run new premium programming such as Strictly Come Dancing, Frozen Planet II and other popular shows such as Come Dine With Me South Africa and Homegrown Tastes South Africa,” she added.
