On May 31, 2022, pay-television platform StarTimes Media announced a partnership with channel provider SPI International/FilmBox to launch a Turkish drama channel (TDC) in Kenya.
The channel, available in English language and subtitles, features over 600 hours of popular dramas, including smash-hit productions like Karadayi, Black Money Love, 20 Minutes, Kurt Seyit & Shura, Moms and Mothers, Red Scarf, Five Brothers, The End, and The 8th Day.
According to StarTimes Regional Marketing Director Mr. Aldrine Nsubuga, the channel has gained significant popularity globally due to the attractiveness of Turkish dramas, and the company is confident that the same will be the case for subscribers in Kenya.
“Turkish drama channel (TDC) is one of the fastest-growing channels due to a global affinity for Turkish drama. Providing audiences with a diverse collection of high-quality content and with an eye for new trends in the market, we are confident the channel will gain huge popularity among our StarTimes subscribers,” noted Mr. Nsubuga.
Subscribers on either StarTimes terrestrial or satellite television platforms will access the channel on Basic bouquet Channel 051 and Super bouquet channel 141 respectively.
