History

Test trasmission was commenced in early July 2017 with only broadcasting music videos. Fana TV began broadcasting regular programmes months later via Eutelsat and Ethiosat. Throughout the trasmission, Fana garnered public attention and growing market shares during 2018. Serial dramas and reality shows are prominent from past years and increasing the number of news correspondents across Ethiopia, becoming the current mostly watched television channel in recent years.[2]

Platforms

Fana TV was initially made available through Ethiosat in late 2017. In March 2018, Fana TV signed an agreement with South African Digital Satellite Television (DStv) to make the channel more widely available throughout Africa and local internet provider called Websprix launched the first IPTV in Ethiopia which Fana TV started broadcasting.[3]
