DStv kills off BBC First

MultiChoice has announced that it will discontinue its BBC First channel on DStv, effective from 1 September.

The company said that this change is part of a "refresh of its British entertainment lineup", with a selection of the British drama continuing on BBC Brit.

So what tf is DSTV actually doing? They've been cutting channels like mad these last few months. What are they replacing it with? Seems like nothing.

What are they replacing it with?

More Nigerian channels like Big Brother Naija

Al Jazeera is some of the most unbiased news you can get.... On topics that the middle east doesn't have a vested interest in.
