MultiChoice video streaming service Showmax will stream The Buzz on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 3 August as an additional twice-a-week companion show alongside the 6th season of Big Brother Naija with the Nigerian radio personality Toke Makinwa who will be the presenter of the opinion and commentary-driven show.
The Buzz will stream on Showmax on Tuesday and Saturday evenings with Toke Makinwa who will share her opinions and insights into the show that is produced from MultiChoice and M-Net West Africa's studio complex in Lagos, Nigeria.
"This is almost like the unfiltered version of Big Brother where we bring you weekly highlights so I'm looking forward to them messing up, I’m looking forward to them creating more drama because that way my show gets even more interesting," Toke Makinwa says.
TVwithThinus asked Showmax last week what Big Brother Naija content the streamer would carry but a Showmax spokesperson said that the service isn't willing to release programming details yet and would do so this week but by Wednesday at the time of publishing of this article there was no information issued yet.
Besides The Buzz, Showmax is also carrying daily and weekly highlights of the 6th season of Big Brother Naija as additional content for viewers, including the Head of House challenge, and diary room rant sessions from the housemates.
Big Brother Naija is broadcasting as a 24/7 linear TV channel on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV service on channel 198 in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa, and on DStv channel 197 in South Africa.
Big Brother Naija highlight programmes are also running on various Africa Magic channels that differ whether viewers are watching from Nigeria and the rest of Africa, or from inside South Africa.
