The Namibia Community Broadcasters Network works with community radio stations to enhance capacities, develop programming and provide general support for the long-term sustainability of these stations. TV Since switching from analogue to digital broadcasting in 2015, NBC has had three TV stations: NBC1, NBC2 and NBC3. The privately-owned TV broadcasters in Namibia include One Africa TV and MultiChoice Namibia. One Africa TV is available on DStv Namibia and is free to air on the NBC’s Digital Terrestrial Television platform. MultiChoice Namibia (of which the ruling party, SWAPO, owns 51% through its commercial arm Kalahari Holdings) provides DStv, GOtv and other options to Namibian audiences, with packages that feature access to TV channels from around the continent and the world. MultiChoice does not produce its own programmes, but has made some effort towards increasing local media on its various platforms through calls for local content. Trinity Broadcasting Namibia (TBNNamibia) is the only community TV broadcaster in Namibia and, according to its website, is funded through ‘the support of its viewers, small amounts of airtime sold, or sporadic donations’.8 8 TBN Namibia, 2018. www.tbnnamibia.tv.
