South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC) has confirmed its SABC Plus streaming service now has over 1 million registered users since its relaunch in July 2024.
The growth in registrations has been largely driven by the platform’s coverage of live sport. The public broadcaster has also been running a public awareness campaign SwitchToStream, which has been educating audiences on the convenience and accessibility of SABC Plus across multiple devices.
“We are thrilled to see how quickly South Africans are embracing SABC Plus as a digital destination for the content they love. The response to live sports, lifestyle entertainment, and special events like the METRO FM Music Awards has been phenomenal, reaffirming our commitment to delivering compelling, relevant content anytime, anywhere,” said SABC Digital Marketing Manager, Khanyisa Melwa.
SABC Plus offers audiences access to the SABC’s 19 radio stations, SABC 1, SABC 2, S3, the 24-hour news channel, and the SABC Sport channel. It also has full access to catchup services, video-on-demand and podcasts.
