Creative sector upbeat

Minister of State President, Kabo Morwaeng launched Btv’s 24-hour news channel as well as Btv 1 and Btv 2, entertainment and information and educational channels respectively on Sunday.

The new channels were launched following the long-anticipated migration of Botswana from analogue to digital transmission. While there has been outcry from the creative sector over lack of local content on local screens, at least the new channel dedicated for entertainment could be key to unlocking the potential of the creative sector in the film, music and television space.
