Cape Town – There will be no press briefing or media launch event for the new TV news channel before it launches on MultiChoice's DStv satellite pay-TV service on 2 May at 17:30.
No basic and complete press pack exists for Newzroom Afrika, which didn't release any channel schedule, channel line-up or programming synopsis. The channel, despite being asked several times, failed to share a set of complete publicity images and info pack about who the anchors, presenters and reporters are and how they look, for general use in the media. Newzroom Afrika gave no explanation for the 2 May launch date decision that comes right after a midweek public holiday.
Nothing was shared by Newzroom Afrika about its hired reporter pool, where they're stationed and what the channel will try to cover, its investments in equipment, technology and broadcasting playout, or even its content blocks, who it will do news for, its editorial policy and news vision, or even where its name and stylized adaptation comes from.

Angry Steve Hofmeyr plans 'special funeral' for his DStv dishSteve Hofmeyr is predicting the downfall of MultiChoice, with the controversial singer now saying he will be organising a 'special funeral' for his DStv satellite dish. Another freedom that he has i.e. to demolition items bought with his own money. 😂😂😂😂 The... reception should be good. Why can’t he just accept that he messed up and apologize. No he needs to over react like a child
