Zee Africa has announced the launch of its global English news channel, WION (The World is One Family) on Africa’s pay-TV network, Kwesé TV.
WION will premiere on Kwesé TV’s current satellite markets on channel 731 and will reach viewers in Ghana, Zambia, Rwanda and Lesotho through its multi-platform broadcast offering, which includes linear TV, the Kwesé mobile app and web streaming services.
Commenting on the deal, Harish Goyal, CEO of Zee Africa, said: “With WION, we commit to deliver to the African viewers, authentic information and a local perspective to what is happening in our world today,”
This will be the third channel from Zee on the Kwesé platform which already hosts Zee Bollynova on channel 150 and Bollymovies on channel 155, which were both added on 30 January 2017.
“A premium news offering is one of the key things consumers look for on television. The addition of WION to our line-up not only grows our news and actuality offering but also adds further diversity to our bouquet,” added Joseph Hundah, President and Group Chief Executive Officer of Econet Media.
