Star TV

Bio

Star TV came into operation in the year 2000 to tap into the lucrative market of television broadcasting. It expanded to Arusha and Dar es Salaam in 2001, but due to lack of means of delivering the programming from the Mwanza Broadcast House, a synchronized TV programming in Mwanza, Arusha and Dar es Salaam did not take place until 2003 when a satellite TV uplink was installed in Mwanza transmitting station.

The satellite signal being free-to-air opened Star TV programming to an even bigger audience who receive TV programming from cable TV operators or via direct to home satellite equipment.

With the recent change of national broadcasting quotas policy, RFA and Star TV are now licensed as national commercial service broadcast stations with a mandate to provide content services throughout the country.
