Boom TV was an Angolan and Mozambican subscription television channel programmed from Brazil operational between 2014 and 2021. The channel broadcast dubbed television series, movies and international telenovelas.

History

[edit]

The channel launched as DStv1 on July 22, 2014, on the DStv platform in Angola and Mozambique, as part of a joint launch of five television channels to the Portuguese-speaking packages.[1] Plans to launch the channel in Portugal as Premium 1 by early 2015 were announced, but the channel never launched. At the launch, DStv1 claimed 120,000 subscribers.[2]

In April 2015, it premiered A Única Mulher.[3] TVI had previously sold the production to Televisão Pública de Angola (without specifying which channel),[4] but its premiere on TPA was shelved for unknown reasons, causing DSTV1 to air with exclusive rights.

In December 2016, promos for the channel's rebrand as Boom TV appeared, with a rebrand date set for January 1, 2017.[5] In November 2021, the channel announced its shutdown per DSTV's orders, and ended service on November 30, 2021.[6]
