Historic Partnership with MultiChoice Expands ZANIS TV Reach to Zambians at Home and Abroad
This partnership marks a significant step in expanding the reach of Zambian media both locally and internationally.
Thabo Kawana, Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Information and Media, represented Zambia at a landmark signing ceremony to onboard Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS TV) onto the MultiChoice Group ’s DStv platform. This partnership marks a significant step in expanding the reach of Zambian media both locally and internationally.
Speaking at the event, Kawana described the move as a “game-changer for our media industry,” emphasizing that it will allow every Zambian, at home and abroad, to have a front-row seat to the developmental projects and policies of the New Dawn Administration.
During the ceremony, concerns raised by viewers were addressed, with Kawana urging MultiChoice to:
- Address high subscription fees
- Reduce content repetition
- Ensure that ZNBC TV remains available as a Free-To-Air channel
Kawana concluded by encouraging the ZANIS team to continue telling the Zambian story with professionalism and integrity, noting that the world is now watching.
