DStv has shed far more channels than it has gained over the past six months.
The broadcaster’s wide range of channels and content is a key reason for its popularity in South Africa and several other African countries.
Channels that do not deliver sufficient viewership relative to their cost can be axed, often without a replacement in sight. Below are the channels that have been axed in the past six months and a short description of their content:— Religious channel run by Nigerian televangelist TB Joshua “We have been begging MultiChoice for over a year to support us. We have made the case that not paying us anything for our content is unsustainable for us — although great for them,” said WildEarth chair André Crawford-Brunt.MultiChoice is currently embroiled in a legal battle with eMedia over the former’s attempts to remove four of eMedia’s channels from DStv.
eMedia has argued that MultiChoice refusing to carry the channels was an abuse of its dominance in contravention of the Competition Act.
