    Newzroom Afrika wins DStv news channel bid

    Newzroom Afrika will produce a new 24-hour news channel on DStv. Television production entrepreneurs Thokozani Nkosi of Eclipse TV and Thabile Ngwato of Rapid Innovation established Newzroom Afrika.

    Their bid to launch the channel stood out for its potential to bring a fresh, creative, and diversified approach to news reporting, which included an integrated digital strategy, combined with sound audience analysis and appealing on-screen execution. Newzroom Afrika has assembled an editorial team with proven news media credentials, which includes television executive Zanele Mthembu who will head the broadcast operation alongside veteran news media executive and journalist Malebo Phage who will lead the newsroom.

    The parties will start negotiating the terms of a channel distribution agreement shortly.
