Larry Matlala, CEO of Limpopo TV answered some fan mail and addressed a couple of things:
- Limpopo TV is an actual channel, the Facebook channel as some followers call it has a studio, cameras and lights, you can find it if you scan your decoder.
- Limpopo TV is free-to-air meaning they don't charge monthly fees.
- Limpopo TV recorded a couple of content during the lockdown.
- Limpopo TV is accepting content and hasn't ignored any applications. They'll only be accepting Limpopo based languages.
- Why can't Limpopo TV be like all the other channels and appear on MultiChoice's DStv? From 2019, they've been engaging with service providers, telling them they want to bring them to their platform. Those service providers are uncertain about the channel's status as it's still a new channel and they don't know whether they're reliable, sustainable or be around for that long.
- Will Limpopo TV be added onto DStv? Yes, they're still in talks with them and they have been addressing it on Twitter. MultiChoice has been calling applicants on possible new channels and this will be Limpopo TV's third application to them hopefully they'll be sharing the good news soon. If it's added you can still find it on the public channels area (Another applicant that might have secured a spot is SA Youth TV which will likely be up and running by next year and not 2020 thanks to the pandemic).
- Limpopo TV on OpenView? They're at 90% with them so hopefully they'll share those details soon.
- With the government provided STB? They're still checking with them but they'll likely roll it out as well so people with those decoders don't need to ask questions there.
