The French-dubbed general entertainment channel Zee Magic joins Hindi channel Zee Cinema on digital terrestrial TV (DTT) network TNTSAT in Mali. While the customised, English-dubbed Bollywood film channel Zee Bollymovies will first be made available in South Africa by MultiChoice on its direct-to-home (DTH) platform DStv before being rolled out to subscribers across the continent.
“Sharing our existing channels - Zee Magic and Zee Cinema with new audiences is a huge achievement for us and we thank TNTSAT for allowing us to bring the best of Bollywood to all their viewers in Mali,” said Amit Goenka, CEO, international broadcast business, Zee Entertainment Enterprises.
Harish Goyal, CEO of Zee TV Africa, added: “In another major deal, within just four weeks of its launch, our 24-hour dedicated English-dubbed Bollywood movie channel, Zee Bollymovies will now be available on DStv, the largest DTH platform in Sub-Saharan Africa.
“ZEE has already witnessed tremendous success over the past two years on DStv with Zee World, its English-dubbed General Entertainment channel and with the addition of Zee Bollymovies on this platform, we hope to further raise the level of entertainment for our dedicated viewers.”
ZEE claims to now entertain over one billion TV viewers across 171 countries.
