Our objective is to provide our viewers with variety through the morning show but through our other offerings, become a channel that features predominantly local horseracing,\u201d says Scott. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently the channel, on DStv 239, is available across five packages with the lowest \u2013 Access \u2013 costing only R105 per month and adds to the variety of sport available on our platform. \u201cThe Tellytrack channel forms part of our platform\u2019s strategy to bring great quality and diverse content to SA audiences,\u201d explains Aletta Alberts \u2013 Head of Content Strategy for Multichoice. \u201cThrough our content we celebrate our diverse audiences\u2019 interests, and this can be demonstrated in the number of channel offerings available on our packages. The Tellytrack channel allows us to continue to meet this mandate \u2013 of continuously serving our viewers with content that is relevant and excites them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revamped channel will go live on 4 May 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For over 15-years, DStv has been the \u2018race track\u2019 of choice for many horse racing lovers across the country, through the broadcast of the Tellytrack channel.
