However, MultiChoice did renew the agreement to broadcast eNCA exclusively on DStv and broadcast the daily Afrikaans News bulletin on kykNet , which came into effect from 1 April 2022.eMedia took MultiChoice to the Competition Commission's Competition Tribunal, seeking to force MultiChoice to keep carrying eMovies, eMovies eExtra, eExtra and eToonz. These channels are available on the eMedia-owned free-to-air satellite service Openview.
