BEStv gets broadcast licence - at last

BEC, which will be trading as Black Entertainment Satellite Television (BEStv), applied for a Satellite Broadcasting Service Licence, in 2005, and were ultimately given a provisional licence in 2006, with pre-conditions for licensing before the actual licence could be awarded. The pre-conditions have finally been met as the recipients finally received their licence from the National Broadcasting Board (NBB) at the BTA offices in Gaborone yesterday.

Speaking at the event, the NBB Chairperson Masego Mpotokwane affirmed that BEStv has finally met the pre-conditions stipulated in the provisional offer hence the board's decision to award the licence.
