The company described the changes as the next evolution of its entertainment offering, with new products and channels designed to provide a more customer-focused viewing experience.
Three new M-Net Movies channels
DStv and GOtv subscribers will now have access to three refreshed M-Net Movies channels: M-Net Movies+, M-Net Movies Stars and M-Net Movies Legends.
MultiChoice said the changes followed feedback from movie lovers who wanted fewer repeats, more fresh titles and a simpler viewing experience.
The company consolidated the previous four movie channels into three destinations with clearer programming and more differentiated content.
The refreshed channels will feature a mix of blockbuster films, timeless favourites and local and international productions across different genres.
M-Net Movies+
M-Net Movies+ will focus on the latest blockbuster releases and major studio movies. The channel will feature fresh releases across multiple genres, with fewer repeats and more new movies.
DStv Channel 105 Available on: DStv Premium
M-Net Movies Stars
M-Net Movies Stars will offer a mix of blockbuster hits and classic favourites across genres including action, comedy, romance, thrillers and family entertainment.
The channel will also feature major studio movies and independent film releases.
DStv Channel 107 and GOtv Channel 53 are available on: DStv Compact, Compact Plus and Premium, and GOtv Supa+
M-Net Movies Legends
M-Net Movies Legends will combine popular classics with newer movie releases.
MultiChoice said subscribers on lower DStv packages will be able to access movies up to six months earlier than before.

Two new channels added.
Beyond the movie channels, MultiChoice is also adding SuperSport Kick-Off and France 24 to the DStv line-up.
SuperSport Kick-Off will feature some of the biggest football matches, while France 24 will provide international news coverage, analysis and dedicated reporting on African affairs.
MultiChoice said the changes reflect its commitment to providing more choice, value and a simpler entertainment experience for customers across Africa.
MultiChoice keeps DStv subscription prices
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that MultiChoice would maintain its DStv subscription rates throughout 2026, instead of implementing another annual price increase.
The decision comes as the company seeks to strengthen its customer base and encourage more viewers to remain on the pay-TV platform amid rising competition.
MultiChoice is competing for viewers with international streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime Video, which have continued to expand their presence in the entertainment market.
