Following the conclusion of the open call auditions in May 2021, all is now set for the premiere of the sixth season of the Africa’s biggest reality television show, Big Brother Naija, this month.
For its sixth season, BBNaija will feature a special double launch show on July 24, and 25, 2021. Both shows will be aired from 7p.m. on DStv channel 198 and GOtv channel 29 with a simulcast on Africa Magic Showcase, Africa Magic Urban and Africa Magic Family channels. And for the first time, BBNaija fans in the United Kingdom will have access to the show via the African online streaming service, Showmax, live.
Speaking on the premiere of the show, the Chief Executive Officer of MultiChoice Nigeria, John Ugbe, said: “With each season of BBNaija, we task ourselves on delivering great content that will take the excitement a notch higher and meet the entertainment needs of our customers. For this sixth season, we are pulling all the stops to give our customers a show never before seen from Nigeria with end-to-end production best practices under global health and safety standards.”
Meanwhile, the MultiChoice also announced that there wouldn’t be text message voting for this season, adding that all voting will be on the Big Brother Naija website and mobile site as well as on the MyDStv and MyGOtv apps.
The 10-week-long reality television show will follow the lives of strangers as they interact and compete with each other to win the grand prize of N90million, which is the biggest in reality television show reward on the continent of Africa.
The Big Brother Naija season 6 will run 24/7 on DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, Confam and Yanga packages on channel 198 and on GOtv Max and Jolli packages on channel 29.
