On Digital Media (ODM) won't be producing new local TV content. The new satellite TV operator (that plans to start broadcasting in May this year) is planning locally packaged TV channels as a part of its bouquet offering of available channels, but the content on that will not be new and sourced from existing local TV shows that has already been broadcast and has been seen in South Africa already.
''While ODM will have local content, ODM will not be commissioning local content at the outset,'' the pay TV operator says.
As I've previously said, a monthly subscription service will range between R99 and R249 depending on how much channels a subscriber wants to get. ''Subscribers will be offered the flexibility to tailor-make their pay TV offering so that it is uniquely relevant to each viewer at a price that suits each individual's pockets.''
