Multi-channel platform Channelbox has expanded its Nollywood line-up with the addition of four new FAST Nollywood channels: True African, Afriwood Blockbuster, Cinema Hausa, and Cinema Yoruba.
These channels are now available via Channelbox on Freeview channel 271 and Freely 561, bringing a variety of African stories, culture and entertainment to audiences in the UK.
Due to the high demand for Nollywood content in the UK, Channelbox created a special category dedicated to African broadcasts, which also includes Nolly Africa, Africa News, Vox Africa, Nigbati, and many more. The newly added channels celebrate the diversity of Nigerian cinema in English and regional languages such as Hausa and Yoruba.
Commenting on the expanded offering, Tanya Kronfli, Channelbox’s Head of Business Development, said: “Channelbox is about diversity and inclusivity of cultures and languages, and it caters to all diasporas who call the UK their home. We are thrilled to expand Channelbox’s line-up with these outstanding Nollywood channels. They represent the creativity, diversity, and storytelling excellence that define African entertainment.”
