DStv is cutting three channels

DStv is set to cut three popular channels from its network at the end of October – History, Crime + Investigation, and Lifetime.

The contract term for these channels, which are all produced by the American broadcasting company A&E Television Networks, ends on 1 November 2019.

History, Crime + Investigation

Nooooooo!

 

[konfab]

History, Crime + Investigation, and Lifetime.

 

[Heisenborg]

History has cool shows wtf

 

[quovadis]

Lol coming soon... MNET Crime, MNET History and MNET Lifetime showing only the first season from all your favorite shows from these other channels on repeat for the rest of time.

 

[RVFmal]

No great loss. The History Channel was less about history and more about bullsh!t in any event.

 

[Venomous]

/shrug

Don't have DSTV anyway.

 

[Kosmik]

There are some cool history docies on netflix, watched their tank one the other day.

History is written by the victors , propaganda channel

 

[supersunbird]

Why cut popular channels?

 

[Polymathic]

History Channel went from a channel almost exclusively about Nazis to a channel almost exclusively about selling second hand items.

 

[joshuatree]

I am surprised. The History channel evolved into something else than pure history , but contained cool shows.

Glad I have options...

History channel was rubbish but nuking one of the true-crime channels would be enough for me to cancel - if I had DSTV that is.

 

[Brieuse]

this is absolute nonsense that they can do that.

 

[skeptic_SA]

DSTV? Lol. 2009 called and it wants it tech back. Best record these on your VHS for posterity.

Thank goodness I cut the cord over a year ago. DSTV can go suck eggs, I will never be a subscriber again. The subscriptions are definitely not value for money. They keep increasing local fees but can afford to reduce fees in other African countries. Tsek!

 

[kiepie]

Okay there it goes...

Are you bringing back Syfy?

The History Channel SA gets and the one the US gets have very different lineups. For example Vikings was on the History Channel

Hahaha. You think DSTV would do something so constructive?

They will probably reply with:

Thank you for your enquiry dear Customer.

Unfortunately the SCI-FI channel no longer exists.
