CI Expands African Footprint

NEW YORK: Crime + Investigation has been added to the DStv platform in Mozambique and Angola in a Portuguese-language version, building on its existing presence in Africa.

CI is already available in Africa in English on Multichoice and in French on DStv. The Portuguese offering will feature such series as The First 48, I Killed My BFF, Cajun Justice, Beyond Scared Straight and Evil Up Close. The channel is operated by HISTORY in Iberia, a joint venture between A+E Networks and Chello Multicanal.
