Cape Town – MultiChoice's next pop-up channel will be the kids channel HOOLEE from Turner Broadcasting System International that will run from the beginning of December 2015 to the end of January 2016 on DStv.
HOOLEE follows after M-Net and Disney's current Star Wars channel on 109 on DStv.
Turner already provides kids channels like Cartoon Network (DStv 301) and Boomerang (DStv 302) to DStv.
Turner Africa announced that HOOLEE will become Africa's first pop-up channel on DStv at the 5-day MultiChoice Content Showcase held this past week.
Turner Broadcasting says it and DStv will be making "African television history" when families all over the African continent, including South Africa, will be able to watch HOOLEE as "a first of its kind Africa pop-up children's channel".
Movies and animated shows
HOOLEE will be for DStv Premium subscribers and the schedule will include "carefully chosen movies and animated shows" created from a selection of programming from Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros productions, as well as exclusive acquisitions.
HOOLEE will run on DStv for 8 weeks, from the beginning of December until the end of January 2016.
"Imagine laughing, sharing surprising adventures and celebrating the summer holidays with your children every day, is the promise of the channel," says Tim Jacobs, MultiChoice Africa CEO.
"HOOLEE will offer to the whole family programmes that they have always enjoyed, as well as new and refreshing, exclusive shows and movies. The range of programming is truly amazing," says Pierre Branco, vice president and managing director of Turner Africa.
