|BEN Television (Bright Entertainment Network) is a British
television channel launched in2003 , aimed mainly at expatriateAfrica ns living inEurope andnorth Africa . According to its official website "The BEN ethos is, 'safe family viewing and empowering communities'." The channel isfree to air on Sky Digital.As well as home-grown programming and
Nollywood film s the channel also carries several hours of programming every day from NTA.For all its stated idealism the station is clearly run on a very small budget and often suffers from poor technical quality, like its counterpart OBETV.
On the
3rd September 2007 , channel number 146 was taken over by Zone Media (nowChello Zone ) with the channelZone Romantica being launched. This meant that BEN TV is no longer broadcast on that channel number and has therefore been moved to its BEN TV 2 slot of channel number 194.External links
