DStv is set to remove three popular channels from its packages with effect from November as the contractual agreement with partners will soon expire.
Starting November 1st, DStv Premium and Compact Plus and more bouquet subscribers will no longer be able to watch History Crime+ Investigation, History, and Lifetime channels.
The History channel provides documentaries and education entertainment shows while Lifetime featured reality TV shows, lifestyle documentaries and romantic films.
According to DStv in a statement;
As part of our ongoing efforts to refresh out content line-up ad optimize the suite of channels on offer, Multichoice group (the parent firm) will be saying goodbye to the History, Crime+Investigation and Lifestyle channels on DStv platform at the end of the current contract term. The current contract expires on November
The company said that they will soon be announcing the introduction of two new channels. Without telling us the actual channels DStv kept it a bit vague saying that one channel will be a global brand and the other an innovative brand. They said;
Both channels will bring exciting new titles and genres that DStv viewers will really enjoy, including among other blue chip documentaries, history, and factual reality.
Multichoice recently implemented some price reduction changes that affected most of their DStv and a few GOtv packages. On 1st September 2019, pay TV company DStv reduced all their monthly subscriptions up to a tune of 30% for some packages.
