MultiChoice said the decision to cut these channels forms part of its \u201congoing efforts to refresh our content line-up and optimise the suite of channels on offer\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are continuously reviewing our content line-up and channel selection to improve our entertainment offering to our customers,\u201d MultiChoice said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis process includes ongoing engagement with various content partners to ensure we can provide more compelling content offerings for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
MultiChoice said it will soon announce the introduction of two new channels to DStv – an established global brand and a new innovative brand.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoth channels will bring exciting new titles and genres that viewers will really enjoy, including among others blue chip documentaries, history and factual reality shows,\u201d MultiChoice said.<\/p>\n
