Published on October 18, 2019
Pay-TV firm DStv Kenya is set to cut three popular channels from its packages starting November 1. The channels, History, Crime + Investigation, and Lifetime, will be removed from the Compact Plus and Premium bouquet subscribers as the contractual agreement with partners comes to an end.
The History channel provided documentaries and education entertainment shows, while Lifetime featured reality TV shows, lifestyle documentaries, and romantic films.
According to DStv, the channels will be replaced by two new ones, which will be announced soon. The new channels will bring exciting new titles and genres, including blue chip documentaries, history, and factual reality shows.
"As part of our ongoing efforts to refresh our content line-up and optimize the suite of channels on offer, Multichoice Group (the parent firm) will be saying goodbye to the History, Crime+Investigation and Lifetime channels on DStv platform at the end of the current contract term. The current contract expires on November," DStv said in a statement.
