The community television station Soweto TV (DStv 150) has increased its broadcasting range to the extend where viewers can pick up the terrestrial free-to-air TV channel in Gauteng now in Heidelberg, Benoni, Springs, Nigel, Tembisa, Pretoria, Vanderbijlpark, Vereeniging and Sasolburg.
Soweto TV is a high quality community television station and probablt the most successful community TV channel so far in South Africa with excellent production values and a great daily TV news bulletin that actually surpass that of the national broadcasters of most African countries in terms of its look and feel. Soweto TV is run with support from Urban Brew Studios (a subsidiary of Kagiso Media) and has a multiple year community television broadcasting license from the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (Icasa).
''With the greater Gauteng now within our reach, we must invest in TV content that has relevance for each and every locality in which the channel can be viewed,'' says Murphy Morobe, Soweto TV chairperson.
