Last month, it was reported that MultiChoice would adding 1Free State TV currently viewed on StarSat to the DStv platform. From what we've uncovered, the channel would go live from 16 November on channel 264 sitting alongside GauTV, Tshwane TV and Mpuma Kapa TV.
At this stage, we haven't got word on a package but it would more likely be accessible to all DStv packages (including Easyview) and I say this as the latter seen above had all been folded under that package alongside various religious and local news channels.
Some of the programming to be offered include:
• 1FSTV News: A daily news program that covers the latest news and current affairs from the Free State and around the world.
