ABOUT US
South Africa's only dedicated TV motoring platform, IGNITION began broadcasting on DStv 412 in October 2008, with an initial 2 hours looping eight times per weekend. In July 2009, IGNITION moved to a new home on DStv 265, expanding its loop to 6 hours of content running from 6am on Saturday to midnight on Sunday.
New programmes introduced include some of the best motoring content from around the globe, such as Great Cars, War of the Wheels, Ferrari Legends and Passions and Carbon Black Millionaires Club.
The one hour local car magazine programme, IGNITION GT, hosted by Marius Roberts continues to offer petrol heads a good dose of what's new on the South African vehicle market. More local motoring comes in the form of Great Treks, a half hour programme hosted by Morgan Naidu that shows viewers the gentle and not-so-gentle side of 4x4'ing.
IGNITION is the third channel in a stable that includes Summit TV and The Home Channel. Between them, these two channels hold the attention of more than a million viewers. On a broader scale it falls under BDFM, the company responsible for Business Day and Financial mail. BDFM is 50% owned by Avusa (previously Johnnic).
