DISCOP Africa Spotlight: SPI International

JOHANNESBURG: A number of SPI International’s channels are already available across Africa, and with its attendance at DISCOP Africa, the company is hoping for further penetration in the region.

Current offerings include FilmBox, a movie channel; FilmBox Arthouse, for independent cinema and art-house films; FightBox HD, featuring combat sports; FashionBox HD, dedicated to fashion, shopping and lifestyle; DocuBox HD, with factual series and documentaries; 360TuneBox, a music service; and MadscreenBox, a live, interactive gaming channel. “We are also planning to offer a couple of channels with local content to make our bouquet even more in demand than it is now,” says Loni Farhi, the company’s president. “SPI may also be the first to offer a native 4K/Ultra HD channel in Africa.”

“We are currently in talks with several operators in the African region that are interested in delivering our channels to their customers,” Farhi adds.
