The channel made history when it launched on June 1st, 2008, becoming South Africa's first 24-hour news service. Since then, it's dominated the market. Live reports, breaking news, sport, weather, entertainment, financial and business updates all form part of its offering, along with a host of topical current affairs shows. eNCA has bureaus across South Africa and also has correspondents covering
Zimbabwe, Ghana, and Tanzania, the US and Europe. Between 2008 and 2012 eNCA was known as the eNews Channel, but was rebranded to eNews Channel Africa (eNCA) as the service increased its global reach and prepared to go online with eNCA.com.
