History
editThe channel launched as DStv1 on July 22, 2014, on the DStv platform in Angola and Mozambique, as part of a joint launch of five television channels to the Portuguese-speaking packages.[1] Plans to launch the channel in Portugal as Premium 1 by early 2015 were announced, but the channel never launched. At the launch, DStv1 claimed 120,000 subscribers.[2]
In April 2015, it premiered A Única Mulher.[3] TVI had previously sold the production to Televisão Pública de Angola (without specifying which channel),[4] but its premiere on TPA was shelved for unknown reasons, causing DSTV1 to air with exclusive rights.
In December 2016, promos for the channel's rebrand as Boom TV appeared, with a rebrand date set for January 1, 2017.[5] In November 2021, the channel announced its shutdown per DSTV's orders, and ended service on November 30, 2021.[6]
