MultiChoice to unveil refreshed packages
According to a statement released by the company, the revamped packages will feature changes across both DStv and GOtv, with products and channels structured around different viewing preferences.
MultiChoice said further details of the new packages, including the available options and other features, would be announced in the coming weeks.
The company described the changes as part of the next phase of its entertainment offering in Africa, with a focus on expanding customer choice and simplifying access to content.
Three M-Net Movies channels launched
Meanwhile, DStv and GOtv subscribers will begin receiving three refreshed M-Net Movies channels from Thursday, September 17, 2026.
The channels — M-Net Movies+, M-Net Stars and M-Net Legends — replace the previous four-channel movie offering as part of a restructuring designed to provide more differentiated programming.
MultiChoice said the revised movie line-up would feature a mix of newer releases, blockbuster productions, classic titles and locally produced films across various genres.
The company also said the changes were intended to reduce programme repetition and make it easier for viewers to find movies.
In addition to the movie channels, SuperSport Kick-Off and France 24 are joining the DStv line-up.
SuperSport Kick-Off will feature football programming, while France 24 will provide international news coverage, analysis and reporting on African and global current affairs.
MultiChoice said the additions and package changes form part of its efforts to expand content choices and provide what it described as a simpler entertainment experience for customers across Africa.

CANAL+ slashes DStv, GOtv decoder prices
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that CANAL+ reduced decoder prices for new DStv and GOtv subscribers by up to 40% as part of a broader strategy to revive Africa’s biggest pay-TV operator and attract more customers.
The move comes as MultiChoice returns to profitability following years of subscriber losses, weak consumer spending and growing competition from global streaming platforms.
CANAL+ said decoder prices have been reduced by as much as 40%, lowering the upfront cost of joining the pay-TV platforms.
