SCOOORE HD: HD+ Ghana launches new 24-hour sports channel

A new exclusive free-to-air TV channel called SCOOORE HD has been launched in Accra.

SCOOORE HD which is available on channel 151 of the HD+ Ghana direct-to-home (DTH) platform is the result of a partnership between SES HD PLUS Ghana, the country’s premium high-definition (HD) satellite broadcast service provider and the Sportainment Media Group.

According to the partners, the launch of SCOOORE HD follows a high demand by customers for a premium football channel.

SCOOORE HD which will operate as a 24-hour channel, targets fans of football from around the world at no extra cost to existing customers receiving the HD+ Ghana service.

We are all the more pleased that we have succeeded in taking this first step with SCOOORE HD in such an interesting TV sports market as Ghana and would like to thank all those involved in the project who have made this possible.“
