“No matter where you are, be it the platinum streets of the North West Province or the luscious landscapes of the Southern African region, NWTV is here to cater to your entertainment needs,” said Magwaza.

Georginah Machiridza, executive head of General Entertainment Channels at MultiChoice Group welcomed NWTV to DStv.

“The channel speaks to our continued effort to strengthen the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of our country.

“We also understand the important role that community TV stations take within our local economy, this partnership allows us to enrich lives of the communities we operate in through job creation and skills development.”

NWTV will launch on November 30 on DStv channel 266.
