Local Content Takes the Lead at MultiChoice ¶
As the year 2021 comes to a close, MultiChoice is speeding up its content offerings to help viewers beat the end-of-year slump. The company's management is committed to delivering amazing African entertainment, and it's doing just that with the addition of new channels to its lineup.
Maisha Magic POA (DStv Channel 144) is a brand new channel that offers viewers access to even more exhilarating, locally produced content. The channel features shows such as Kapuni and Huba, among others. For movie lovers, there's Maisha Magic Movies (DStv Channel 141), which has been curated with Ugandan, Kenyan, and Tanzanian audiences in mind. The channel works alongside local producers in these regions to give the best content.
According to MultiChoice's Managing Director, Nancy Matimu, DStv and GOtv are the go-to platforms for Pan-African content, and they make sure they have something for everyone. Content not only resonates with everyone but covers the West, East, and South parts of the continent.
For viewers in East Africa, there's Mambo Moto (DStv Channel 140), which features Swahili dubbed content, including international favourite First Run Films. Maisha Magic East (DStv Channel 158 & GOtv Channel 4) is another crowd favourite, where you can catch Pete, Selina, and Date My Family Kenya. There's also Maisha Magic East Plus (DStv Channel 163), Pearl Magic (DStv Channel 161), Pearl Magic Prime (DStv Channel 148), and Maisha Magic Bongo (DStv Channel 160), which offer a range of exciting shows.
Of course, Africa is a place of unity, and nothing brings it all together quite like one of our newest channels, Honey. You can get your dose of reality with Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa on Talk with Toke Makinwa or unleash your inner detective with the Drum Crime Series, which shares real-life crime stories. For the drama lovers out there, season 2 of Pastor Wives is available and is sure to be packed with the craziness you have come to expect from the show.
When it comes to the world of entertainment, MultiChoice thrives on bringing everything together for relaxing after a long day, bonding with the family over your new favourite show, or keeping up with the latest on-screen drama. With its range of channels, including BET, Moja Love, and Zee World, MultiChoice is the ultimate destination for entertainment.
