Fox International Channels (FIC) is coming to South Africa in a massive way when On Digital Media (ODM)'s new TopTV launches on 1 May. Case in point: Fox International Channels just appointed Thandi Davids as its director of broadcast and sales for Fox International Channels Africa with immediate effect which I can tell you about first.
Thandi Davids will work on the roll-out of the various Fox International Channels TV channels that viewers will get to see on TopTV. TopTV will launch on 1 May with Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180), FX (TopTV 110), Fox Retro (TopTV 181), Baby TV (TopTV 257) and Fuel (TopTV 225).
