ANN7 has started livestreaming the channel's 24/7 feed as seen on DStv on Youtube.
It becomes the first general news channel in the country to do so, but both business news channels (CNBC Africa and Business Day TV) have been doing so for a while already. In addition, SABC News Channel livestreams certain programmes on youtube but not the entire channel.
The livestream can be found at the 'ANN7 TV' account. I am told that the channel will be using this Youtube account temporarily whilst it sorts out issues with their main Youtube account.
The channel continues to livestream from their website as well, but the media player used there is less efficient than Youtube and has compatibility issues with certain mobile devices.
Viewership on the livestream tends to peak during the work day (when everyone uses their workplace's wifi, I see you) and declines at night hen everyone is home and has access to their DStv decoders.
