One Africa Television

One Africa Television is Namibia's first successful commercial free-to-air television station.[1] It is the brainchild of Namibian photographer and businessman Paul van Schalkwyk.

One Africa Television is a fully commercial, free-to-air television station in Namibia, receiving no state subsidies.

Originally covering only Windhoek, Rehoboth and Okahandja, One Africa Television has grown significantly, with its signal broadcast via 29 analogue transmitters across Namibia. In 2013, One Africa Television joined the digital age, and the station is now available on on the Namibian Broadcasting Corporation's digital terrestrial television network as well as on MultiChoice's DStv Namibia platform.

One Africa Television broadcasts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and carries a range of programs selected for relevance to the Namibian television viewing public.

One Africa Television founder and group chairman, Paul van Schalkwyk, was killed in a plane crash on the 10th of March 2014.[2]
