Bop TV was a television station owned by the Bophuthatswana Broadcasting Corporation, which operated from 1983 to 2003. Initially confined to the black homeland of Bophuthatswana (which included townships near Johannesburg and Pretoria), the channel found its foothold by means of signal overspill, becoming an attractive alternative to the existing SABC and later M-Net channels. Following the end of apartheid and the dissolution of Bophuthatswana, it was integrated into the South African Broadcasting Corporation, after which it shut down.
