"This represents a huge milestone in the development of Cape Town TV. The station has been broadcasting to local audiences from the Tygerberg transmitter site since September 2008. Our funding as a non-profit community broadcaster is limited, so joining the DStv family will enable us to access a larger audience and thus attract more advertising revenue. More funding means we will be able to increase local content reflecting the people, issues and events of the Mother City," says Cape Town TV station manager, Karen Thorne.
Comments Collins Khumalo, CEO of MultiChoice South Africa, "DStv has become a place where providers of television entertainment want to be. We welcome Cape Town TV to our family of channels. We are proud to be the carrier of some of the most popular local and international television entertainment brands offering our customer a one-stop shop for their television entertainment needs with great digital quality."
However, Cape Town TV is not neglecting local free-to-air viewers and the channel has recently acquired a second transmission frequency for its Tygerberg transmitter. The new frequency is low in the frequency spectrum and so provides viewers with a strong signal that gives good picture and sound quality.
The channel can be watched online at www.capetowntv.org.
