Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe chief executive Obert Muganyura said yesterday that the<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/05/16/zimpapers-gets-tv-broadcasting-licence/" rel="noopener" target="_blank"> recently issued Zimpapers TV license</a> is not a tv broadcasting license like the one held by ZBC. The license is a content distribution license which is similar to the one issued to Multichoice Zimbabwe and Kwese TV.
The cost of the license is $173,000.
<blockquote>Early this year we flighted an advertisement inviting those intending to provide broadcasting services that do not require frequency allocation to submit their applications to the authority. We gave examples of such services as content distribution, web-casting and video on demand.
That advertisement excluded applications for terrestrial television licences which in any case use frequencies. Zimpapers applied for a content distribution licence which essentially entails the distribution of content aggregated within or outside Zimbabwe and the delivery of that content is via satellite.
Essentially what Zimpapers applied for is a licence to provide services like DSTV and Kwesé which is different from a terrestrial television broadcasting licence.</blockquote>

<a href="https://news.pindula.co.zw/2018/03/12/kwese-tv-removes-6-channels-from-its-subscription-service/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">A week after announcing that it was removing 6 channels from its bouque</a>t, Kwese TV has revealed that it will be giving free decoders to civil servants who sign up for its service. However, in order to get the “free” decoder, a customer needs to sign up for a 24-month contract, where they will be paying a monthly subscription fee of $20.30 instead of the usual $29 per month.

Kwese TV to launch e-commerce platform

Econet founder Strive Masiyiwa has announced the launch of Kwese TV in Zimbabwe and has given Zimbabwean subscribers an extra 30 days for free following 2 weeks of service disruption due to legal issues.
In a Facebook post Strive wrote:
<blockquote>Kwesé TV Zimbabwe finally joined the Kwesé TV revolution that is sweeping across Africa, after the High Court confirmed last Friday that its license was valid. As a gesture of goodwill, we have decided to give Zimbabweans whose service was disrupted for two weeks an extra 30 days for FREE.</blockquote>
Last Friday, Kwese was granted permission by the High Court to continue broadcasting until the Supreme Court rules on the appeal filed by the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe (BAZ).
Kwese TV has faced massive resistance from BAZ, the regulator,  from the onset. After Econet announced the launch of Kwese TV, the chief executive officer of the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe,  Obert Muganyura immediately announced that Dr Dish’s broadcasting licence had been cancelled and that Kwese TV did not have permission to operate.
<a href="http://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/09/08/full-high-court-judgement-kwese-tv-vs-broadcasting-authority-zimbabwe/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Dr Dish responded by filing an urgent application at the High Court Challenging BAZ’s decision to cancel its broadcasting licence.</a> High Court judge Justice Charles Hungwe reversed BAZ’s decision and issued a provisional order allowing Dr Dish and Kwese TV to continue operating pending the determination of the matter by the court.
Feeling aggrieved by Justice Hungwe’s decision, <a href="http://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/09/13/bazs-grounds-appeal-high-courts-decision-allow-kwese-tv-dr-dish-operate/">BAZ filed an appeal at the Supreme Court.</a> The appeal had the effect of suspending, Justice Hungwe’s provisional order. <a href="http://news.pindula.co.zw/2017/09/14/kwese-tv-seeks-permission-operate/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Dr Dish then filed another urgent application at the High Court seeking permission to continue operating until the Supreme Court appeal was heard and resolved</a>. In the meantime, Kwesé TV and Dr Dish then stopped broadcasting.  However, because of Friday’s High Court ruling, Kwese TV and Dr Dish can resume operating.
In the latest ruling Justice Charles Hungwe ruled:
<blockquote>I am satisfied that the applicant has satisfied the requirements for the grant of leave to proceed with its operations as set out in the order of this court in HH-598-17 dated 8 September 2017 in which the letter by the second respondent was to all intents and purposes suspended pending the final determination of the rights of the parties. In the result I make the following order:
1. Leave to proceed in terms of the judgment of this Court in be matter HH-598- 17 be and is hereby granted.
 2. The respondents shall bear the costs of this application. </blockquote>

Kwese TV offers extra 30 days free viewing to Zim subscribers to make up for lost time

Strive Masiyiwa announced the launch of “Kwesé FREE TV” bouquet which offers a minimum of 5 channels for free even if someone does not pay subscription fees.
The 5 free channels are; Kwesé FREE Sport (KFS), Kwesé FREE Entertainment (KFE), African News, any national broadcaster channel and Flow TV. In a Facebook post, Masiyiwa wrote:
<blockquote>Now after my very busy trip to New York and Geneva, I flew straight to South Africa, and spent last week getting an update from the Kwesé team. I think the most exciting development for me this week was our decision to create what we call the “Kwesé FREE TV” boutquet.
__A minimum of 5x channels are FREE at all times even if someone does not have money on their decoder subscription!
The five “ALWAYS ON” channels are:
# Kwesé FREE Sport (KFS): the biggest sports channel in Africa, which shows live English Premier League, and NBA games.
# Kwesé FREE Entertainment (KFE): A new general entertainment channel which will show latest premium shows including kids, movies, series, and African entertainment. This goes live in January.
# African News: the best African news channel.
# Local FREE-To-Air Channels: every national broadcaster channel will be available.
# Flow TV.
Kwesé FREE TV Zone is a revolutionary idea! All a person needs to do is buy a decoder, and they don’t have to pay to watch at least five of the channels!
# We strongly believe that if someone decides to buy a decoder, it must offer service, even without paying for a subscription. Remember the first 30 days of all channels is FREE!</blockquote>

Kwese FREE TV bouquet, 5 free channels even if you don't pay  subscription

Contrary to some reports circulating on social media, Kwese TV’s content distributor, Dr Dish has not won the case against the Broadcasting Authority of Zimbabwe. No decision has been given yet on the case. Dr Dish executive chairman, Nyasha Muzavazi, confirmed that the court cases are still pending.
Kwese TV had to suspended broadcasting last week after BAZ filed an appeal at the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe challenging High Court judge Justice Charles Hungwe’s decision to allow Dr Dish and Kwese TV to continue broadcasting until the matter was fully resolved. The appeal had the effect of suspending, Justice Hungwe’s provisional order.
Dr Dish then filed another urgent application at the High Court seeking permission to continue operating until the Supreme Court appeal was heard and resolved. The case is still pending.

Kwese TV has NOT yet won legal battle against BAZ

Kwese TV launches in South Africa, partners with Netflix

In a statement yesterday, Zimpapers spokeswoman Ms Beatrice Tonhodzayi, Zimpapers denied claims by Dr Dish that they are interested in partnering with Kwese TV. She said that Kwese TV had actually approached them not the other way round.
Said Tonhodzai:
<blockquote>Let us make it clear that Econet Media’s Kwese TV actually approached us and not the other way round. We held several discussions, which later collapsed for reasons we will not disclose. In these negotiations it was clear what each party was bringing to the table. It, therefore, comes as a surprise why our name is being smeared in the media in a matter that we have no involvement in whatsoever.</blockquote>
