Put your brand in front of South Africa's largest connected-TV audience — live sport, GE local drama and on-demand catch-up, across Smart TVs, mobile and web. We plan the format, target the audience, and connect every view back to your digital funnel through Core3.
DStv Stream Live viewership climbed every quarter through the 25/26 EPL and AFCON season — and catch-up (VOD) viewing grew alongside it.
DStv Stream Live is live linear TV — sport, news and appointment viewing — available across Smart TVs, desktops and smart phones. It carries the same broadcast credibility as scheduled television, with a connected-device audience layered on top.
DStv Stream VOD is catch-up content — local drama, reality and lifestyle titles that South African audiences binge on their own schedule. GE local content is consistently the most-watched genre, giving advertisers a direct line to culturally engaged viewers.
Every format is chosen for what the viewer is doing in that moment — watching, pausing, or catching up.
Plays before, during or after catch-up content. Built for reach and awareness at scale.
A static, non-intrusive ad appears the moment content is paused — reaching viewers at peak attention.
Plays around live linear content — sport, news, appointment viewing — for engagement and brand recall.
The DStv Stream audience skews young and urban, with strong representation across every income band — from working class to upper-middle income — and a near-even gender split.
Understanding what audiences are already watching shapes where your ad lands and how it's received.
Sport content is consistently the most-watched genre on DStv Stream Live, driven by the EPL season, AFCON and local rugby & cricket — with strong interest in local and international general entertainment channels too.
General entertainment local drama titles top the VOD charts every quarter — culturally resonant content that keeps audiences coming back episode after episode, ideal for sustained brand presence.
Whether it's live linear on a Smart TV or catch-up on a phone during a commute, the platform's audience moves fluidly between devices — and your campaign follows them.
DStv Stream campaigns are built around your objectives, audience and media budget — there's no one-size-fits-all rate card. Tell us your goals and we'll build a targeted proposal, from a single flight around a major sporting event to an always-on VOD presence.
