About Bop TV

Location: South Africa
Category: Local

Bop TV was a television station run by the former Republic of Bophuthatswana in Southern Africa.
Commencing operations in 1984, it primarily transmitted imported programming, mostly from the US, in an unedited form, allowing all comical references to black people to be aired. The station transmitted on the UHF band.
In the apartheid era, a sizeable number of white people sought to tune in to Bop TV, which offered a wider variety of entertainment and current affairs programming than the state-controlled South African Broadcasting Corporation, despite attempts to confine the signal to black areas such as Soweto.
