Fans of the biggest all-time music hits and legendary artists from the '70s, '80s, '90s and early '00s have been indulging in their love of classic hits beginning yesterday after music TV channel VH1 Classic replaced VH1 on the DStv platform. Targeting mature music lovers, VH1 Classic is the latest
channel from Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) Africa, the African entertainment powerhouse behind MTV, MTV Base, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and BET.
The channel will be available in Namibia, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
VH1 Classic delivers non-stop music videos all day long, providing access to the most iconic contemporary artists of our time and spotlighting superstar performers such as Abba, Bon Jovi, Duran Duran, George Michael, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Prince, Queen, Whitney Houston and U2.
Key programmes to get fans singing along with their TVs and playing their air guitars include the thrashing basses and thunderous beats of The Rock Show, the big hair and the shoulder pads of We Are the 80s, a tribute to the weird and wacky in Smells Like the 90s and the dancetastic beats of Boogie Wonderland.
