In 2019, Warner Bros. Discovery launched HGTV on the DStv platform across Africa offering content about home improvement, do-it-yourself house renovations, design, real estate. The brand once operated as a block through Travel Channel.
HGTV ended 2018 as the 4th most watched pay-TV channel in the United States where it is the leading home and lifestyle channel and often gets cited by pay-TV subscribers as one of the "must-keep channels" and one of the reasons why viewers pay for subscription television.
Before HGTV, The Home Channel a local competitor from the Tiso Blackstar Group, has been acquiring and showing a broad slate of programming produced by HGTV for years, like the popular Property Brothers fronted by the twin brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott.
In an interview with former president of Discovery Inc. (now Warner Bros Discovery) for Europe and Africa revealed that existing deals will continue on smoothly but once they run out all the content will be available exclusively on HGTV as they can get a bit jealous when other stations air their content.
For those who can't afford HGTV, Real Time is available on the Easyview platform for as little as R30p/m even if you're not getting the latest shows or even the full HGTV lineup it's better than nothing.
Although, The Home Channel will no longer air the best of HGTV viewers can still tune into other content like Real Health, Gardening 101,Home Of The Year, Dream Gardens and Designing Homes With Bill Bensley.
