It is now available for subscribers of the StarTimes Basic and Smart packages.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are excited to expand our relationship with StarTimes and bring FilmBox Action to their platform. We are long term partners and we believe FilmBox Action is the perfect addition to the StarTimes existing movie offering. Together we have already made Dizi channel, our Turkish drama channel a huge success and we expect the same for FilmBox Action,\u201d commented Georgina Twiss, managing director of Western Europe and Africa at SPI International.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo keep offering fresh content of quality on StarTimes is one of our long-term pursuits,\u201d said Lily Meng, head of StarTimes Media Division. \u201cWe enjoy the collaboration with SPI International and trust that the synergy will lead to more fascinating chemical reactions in future, which can benefit our audiences across Africa.
