From March 1, the following changes are coming into effect.
BBC News Overnight will be replaced by Al Jazeera. This only affects DSTV News and it’s broadcast on DSTV One will not be affected.
We will also be airing a local version of the ABC current affairs programme Four Corners and that begins screening on Monday nights at 8:30pm. As a result This Week on DSTV will be shortened to 30 minutes.
DSTV News will air the controversial documentary, India: The Modi Question, which has been withdrawn from broadcast in certain countries due to pressure from Indian authorities.
Backlash is expected but management has said it will not bow to pressure from any Government to prevent screening of any programme it wants to put to air.
The regional news service from Dunedin will be shifted to Invercargill, due to major upgrades to the buildings, which house the Dunedin studios.

The upgrades to the Dunedin buildings, which house the regional news service, are now complete and regular broadcasts will resume next Monday with a fresh set design and graphics package.
Hey @Damo - I have two questions to ask in regard to the Otago/Southland regional news service from Dunedin, although it is fictional. Will the set design and graphics be identical to the other regional news services? And what will the Dunedin team be (including journalists and crew based in Queenstown and Invercargill)?

Sorry for not posting lately but I was recently hospitalized for kidney stones. However I am back to the laptop and will resume making mock ups very soon.
I notice I last posted in October but now that we’re at the end of 2023 I have uploaded a DSTV One New Years ident to YouTube and as I use video templates it only took around 15 minutes to create, process and download.
Enjoy the clip and Happy New Year to everyone who is subscribed to my YT channel through Media Spy.
Came across this image on Canva and changed a few colours to make it look familiar to an old school logo from NZ’s TV past.
DSPTV stands for Damien Service Pacific Television and I might make it an off shoot from DSTV.
The differences will be that it will only air in the Pacific (obviously) from midday to midnight and have a totally seperate line-up from what you would see on DSTV.
I’ve decided to take a break from DSTV on here and on You Tube. I’ll be working on a side project which is an AI music channel using generators Udio and Suno.
And eventually, once it’s officially up and running, I’ll use Eleven Labs Music which was previewed on their X account last week.
I want to thank those who subbed on YT and if I return to doing these clips and images I’ll let you know through here.
