DStv increase movie channels, changes numbers

DStv audiences across Africa are set to get more movie magic as entertainment powerhouse M-Net embarks on an exciting new chapter effective October 1 2012.

The expansion is meant to include eight genre-themed movie channels. MultiChoice Malawi marketing manager Titania Katenga Kaunda said in addition to this, six of the eight movie channels will be broadcast in high definition.

“The eight movie channels are themed according to movie type and will include M-Net Movies Premiere, M-Net Movies Comedy, M-Net Movies Family, M-Net Movies Action Plus, M-Net Movies Drama and Romance and M-Net Movies Showcase,” she said.

She added that rounding off the M-Net movie line-up are M-Net Movies Action [previously M-Net Action] and M-Net Movies Stars [previously M-Net Stars].

“The numbering system for DStv channels will also change on October 1. While some channels will maintain their numbers, others will move up and down,” said Kaunda.

“All sports and religion channels maintain the old numbers. All the news channels, except Euro News, also maintain the old numbers. This channel re-numbering ensures that all channels are grouped by genres, which will make access easier,” said Kaunda.

Changes are evident in documentary, lifestyle and entertainment channels.

With new M-Net movies on the set, Kaunda said changes can be accessed at the DStv website.
