Multichoice has announced that they have shed some channels owned by eMedia.
This is comes after both the broadcast giants recently renewed a channel supply agreement in which Multichoice have opted not to carry out certain eMedia channels, namely eMovies, eMovies Extra, eExtra and eToonz.
Effective from 1 April, DStv will only broadcast eNCA (channel 403) exclusively and the daily Afrikaans News Bulletin on kykNET (channel 144).
The statement says that e.tv, which is licensed under a separate agreement, will continue to air on the DStv platform. All the e.tv channels will continue to broadcast and are still available on the Openview platform.
Viewers have access to eMovies, eMovies Extra, eExtra, eToonz, and so much more on the Openview platform by purchasing an Openview decoder for a once-off cost with no monthly fees, to continue uninterrupted viewing.
