Tue, 11 Oct 2011 11:29

The English version of the international news channel euronews has been added to the Zuku direct-to-home (DTH) package launched in September 2011. Already available in Kenya, where 10,000 subscribers enjoy Zuku DTH, euronews will be available in Uganda from its launch date in October and then in Tanzania in November. The operator Wanachi predicts 50,000 subscribers by the end of 2011.

euronews is already available in English to 80,000 subscribers of DStv Africa, as well as 12,000 subscribers of the Zuku cable network in Kenya. This agreement marks a new development and reinforces euronews' presence in East Africa.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, euronews is broadcast to 20 million homes via satellite, cable, terrestrial and high-speed broad band systems.
