SuperSport has turned the SuperSport 1 (DStv 201) channel into a "Super Showcase" channel from today for the next 21 days, rebroadcasting the highlights, lowlights and blowouts of the sport world's biggest moments of the past few years.
According to SuperSport the channel will "reflect some of the most memorable sports moments of recent years" and will take a nostalgic look at sport, including names ranging from Wayde van Niekerk to Serena Williams’ astonishing success, SA golf’s glory boys, FIFA’s World Cup films, football legends, boxing mega fights.
The channel will also broadcast sport documentaries like Fire in Babylon. The only interruptions to this omnibus of sport lookbacks will be to accommodate live European rugby, including the Pro14.
SuperSport 1 (SS1) will be available to all DStv packages from DStv Access upwards.
