Universal+ launched on Friday, 14 October, in South Africa and across sub-Saharan Africa in partnership with MultiChoice, bringing DStv subscribers a catch-up content hub of NBCUniversal's TV channels. | News24Arts
INTERVIEW:
What is the origin story of Universal+? When did you start to work on bringing it to South Africa, and why did you decide to launch it in this territory now? With linear television and streaming, you don't want the one cannibalising the other. How do you keep both strong? How do you see it? How would you describe the value proposition of Universal+? What is it that it enhances or is in addition to?
It's possible we would put original content there, but primarily it would be a catch-up service with box sets and full seasons. Maybe in time, we would put original content straight on there; we've done that in other markets. If there's a big enough audience on Universal+, then why not?
