SPI/FilmBox and Discover Digital add channels for Sub Saharan Africa

August 9, 2019 08.16 Europe/London By Robert Briel

SPI/FilmBox and Discover Digital expanded their partnership in Sub Saharan Africa by adding seven channels from SPI’s channel portfolio to the DEOD (Digital Entertainment On Demand) platform.

SPI/FilmBox announced their newly expanded partnership with DEOD will include an additional seven channels: FilmBox Africa, FilmBox Arthouse, Fast&FunBox HD, DocuBox HD, 360 TuneBox, Gametoon HD and FashionBox HD.

“Building on the great response to FightBox HD amongst the DEOD subscribers who enjoy a live event every week, and together with our long term partner Discover Digital, I am pleased to announce that we have expanded our agreement to bring seven more channels to their platform. Now DEOD subscribers have access to a richer variety of great HD quality channels from SPI/FilmBox,” said Georgina Twiss, MD Western Europe and Africa at SPI International.

“We are very excited to add such a broad mix of quality content and extend our distribution partnership with SPI International,” said Stephen Watson, Director of Discover Digital International.

“Not only do the additional FilmBox channels continue to provide our audiences with an excellent selection of broad entertainment, but they also continue to grow and diversify our formidable movie offering by introducing documentaries and arthouse titles. This deal provides additional value for our broadcast and telco operator partners, who offer the DEOD service to their customers in multiple countries on the continent.”
