BEN Television

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BEN Television (Bright Entertainment Network) is a British television channel launched in 2003, aimed mainly at expatriate Africans living in Europe and north Africa. According to its official website "The BEN ethos is, 'safe family viewing and empowering communities'." The channel is free to air on Sky Digital. As of 2006 its Sky EPG number is 148.

As well as home-grown programming and Nollywood films the channel also carries several hours of programming each night from Africa Independent Television, including news bulletins from NTA.

For all its stated idealism the station is clearly run on a very small budget and often suffers from poor technical quality, like its counterpart OBETV.
