As of the end of October DSTV is set to cut three popular channels from its network - History, Crime + Investigation, and Lifetime, much to the ire of many of its subscribers.
According to IOL and My Broadband, the contract term for these channels ends on the 1st of November. All three series are produced by American broadcasting company, A&E Television Network.
MultiChoice has been quoted as saying on their website that the decision to cancel these contracts forms part of its “ongoing efforts to refresh our content line-up and optimise the suite of channels on offer. We are continuously reviewing our content line-up and channel selection to improve our entertainment offering to our customers.”
MultiChoice did say said that it will be announcing the introduction of two new channels to DStv in the very near future.
