etv Ghana

TV just got even more exciting in Ghana as e.tv the first privately owned but free-to-air television station in South Africa has launched a subsidiary in Accra, Ghana. This launch is a big deal because e.tv South Africa that launched in 1998 is presently the largest English-medium channel in SA.

e.tv Ghana is a free-to-air commercial channel aimed at bringing premium television services to residents of Accra. The station was launched last night (Tuesday night) and would broadcast 24 hours everyday.

The new TV station is born out of a partnership between Global Media Alliance Ghana Ltd., and Sabido Investment (PTY) Ltd., of South Africa. The experience of the parent company would give e.tv Ghana a  major competitive advantage as it would have a large synergy of programmes.

e.tv has always been very exciting and I know many TV enthusiasts across Africa (especially Nigeria) go to great lengths to be able to receive the signals on satellite from South Africa. I have watched the SA version several times in a hotel in Lagos Nigeria and can attest to the high quality programming.

    After watching e.tv in crystal clear digital satellite transmission, Analogue terrestrial TV looks horrible.

    Please we want DVB!

    • Digital terrestrial TV is already in the works. The National Communications Authorities (NCA) already has a tentative deadline for all TV stations in Ghana to switch to some form of digital transmission. I hardly ever watch TV via analogue transmission. I watch Metro TV and GTV but only on DSTV.

  11. Ghana kayblaza from Greater Accra, Ghana says:

    Thanks

    • I don’t know anyone who has tracked Nilesat from Ghana, successfully. You might be lucky if you are located in the northern parts of Ghana. Definitely, you would need a large satellite dish.

      • Ghana Evans Matey from Ghana says:

        Hi David, may I know if BADR-4 can be accessed in accra. I understand the MBC channels (UAE) on the elusive Nilesat satellite are also on Arabsat (BADR-4). please let me know if the footprint covers accra and what dish size is ideal. thanks

  51. Nigeria sunerity from Nigeria says:

  52. Poland Akin val from Poland says:

    My people , let us forget, for now, anything about e tv . By blocking their viewing code, they have shown us the way to look for an improved alternative tv like joy tv.

  53. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW THE FREQUENCIES OF CHANNELS THAT I CAN WATCH IN TANZANIA ESPECIALLY B4U, SENTANTA AFRICA, STAR MOVIE, eTV, MUVI TV, AND A CHANNEL THAT AIRS NIGERIAN MOVIES OR WESTERN MOVIES.
