BayTV Is Now Known As Mpuma Kapa TV

Image
After 7 years, Bay TV has been scrapped for a more stronger and at close at home branding, Mpuma Kapa TV. Bay TV launched as a free-to-air community television channel in Port Elizabeth and surrounding areas in Eastern Cape before making its way to DStv. It features local news, sport, youth, children, women's issues, current affairs, education, music and local culture. The channel lost their analogue licence years back that's why it can only be found on DStv besides that they also need the funds to stay open. Before it's rebrand, the channel was mostly carrying pastor and church based programming like a few other community channels on DStv. This new brand has opened up their doors for content proposals. Mpuma Kapa TV will more likely be no different to Bay TV at launch. The channel will still be representing Eastern Cape hopefully with more variety and not only church shows.

They even created a petition and page to help get the channel to the market seeing as StarSat which is located in South Africa also packages the channel. Two years ago, I contacted someone with regards to the channel and this is what DStv told them and what they're
