MULTICHOICE ADDS TWO BRITISH CHANNELS TO DSTV

The General Manager, Marketing, Multichoice Nigeria, Martin Mabutho has made it known that the company is making true promises to further enrich the quality of

content on the bouquet, which it made during the recent re-launch of

its DStv Compact.

To that effect, the Pay TV Company has announced the addition of two

new British channels; BBC Lifestyle and Cbeebies to the bouquet. The

channels which were previously exclusive to Premium bouquet

subscribers have been included to the over 95 plus channels list on

Compact.

“This further broadens the range of offerings on the Compact bouquet”,

said General Manager, Marketing, MultiChoice Nigeria, Martin Mabutho.

According to Mabutho, “As a leading video entertainment company in

Africa, we are constantly seeking ways of providing more value to our

subscribers and we do this by structuring content that suit their

lifestyles and personalities.

The addition of BBC Lifestyle and Cbeebies exemplifies our commitment

to continually add value to our subscribers.” He described BBC

Lifestyle as an international channel that provides six key

programming features in Food, Home & Design, Fashion & Style, Health,

Parenting, and Personal Development, and Cbeebies as one that offers a

mix of mostly UK-produced entertainment and educational output

designed to encourage learning through play. Both channels are wholly

owned by BBC Worldwide.

He disclosed that BBC Entertainment which will be renamed to BBC Brit

on DStv channel 120 will be accessible to local viewers on Compact,

Compact Plus and Premium bouquets starting from 1 September 2015.

“The channel will become the exclusive home of Top Gear, Undercover

Boss and Dragons Den and cover a rich variety of subjects including

cars, science, adventure, business, food and life-changing moments,”

he said
