ITV Choice – a satellite television channel popular in British entertainment launched on DStv this week, adding variety and top quality entertainment options for audiences.

MultiChoice Zimbabwe publicity and public relations manager, Liz Dziva said ITV, which is available to DStv Premium bouquet subscribers on channel 123, was a well known brand in British broadcasting.

“All programming will air very close to UK transmission dates, with the soaps airing within 48 hours of the UK, which makes this offering even more exciting for new viewers in this part of the world,” Dziva said.

The channel made its African debut following a deal between MultiChoice Africa and ITV Studios Global Entertainment.

Featuring a wide range of great British entertainment, ITV Choice offers an impressive schedule that includes Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, Big Star’s Little Star from 12 Yard and Keep It In The Family from ITV Studios and Over The Top Productions.

The drama offering features the recently-launched and highly-rated Poldark, a period drama adaptation of the well-known classic novels of the same name, produced by Mammoth Screen.

“Poldark is a remake of the old 70s show but carries with it a new style and some of television’s best new stars,” Dziva said.

“Also coming up are Arthur & George, Buffalo Pictures’ adaptation of Julian Barnes’ novel about the life of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, starring Martin Clunes, as well as ITV Studios’ World War Two drama Home Fires.”
