Effective Tuesday September 1, at 12:00 CAT, MultiChoice’s M-Net will introduce a more streamlined and sharpened channel line-up on DStv in a move that is expected to make it easier for customers to find their favourite international series and movies on the platform.
According to MultiChoice Africa, the changes are in line with its strategy to add more value to loyal DStv customers’ packages by ensuring that they continue to receive only the best programming.
In the new offering, M-Net will move from six to four, well-curated movie channels that will feature a fewer number of older library movies in the schedule to keep the movie menu new and fresh.
