OpenView HD (OVHD) has added the TV news channel BBC World News to the free-to-air satellite platform from today, Monday 4 September 2017.
BBC World News is available on OpenView HD channel 112. BBC World News is already carried on MultiChoice's DStv and on StarTimes South Africa and On Digital Media's StarSat satellite pay-TV platforms.
Platco Digital's OpenView HD says that the addition of a dedicated news channel will see OpenView HD continuing to grow its premium content offering.
"The addition of a news channel speaks to the needs of our growing audience and we believe it will position OpenView HD as South Africa's digital platform of choice," says Ziyanda Mngomezulu, OpenView HD general manager of channel acquisitions.
"BBC World News' reputation for global breaking news is a huge drawcard for us and we're delighted to be able to offer our viewers a window to the world of quality and integrity".
