DStv launches pop-up channel for customers affected by loadshedding
MultiChoice has announced the launch of DStv SWITCH’D ON. This is an intervention to lessen the frustration of DStv viewers due to the impact of the ongoing load shedding, which reduces their opportunity to watch prime-time television consistently. This intervention will give viewers up to five times to watch their favourite primetime shows when the lights come back on.
DStv SWITCH’D ON Channels 109 and 110 will launch on Tuesday, 24 January.
These two new pop-up channels will air selected prime-time content from Mzansi Magic, Mzansi Wethu and Kyknet & Kie respectively.
Ensuring that DStv customers have multiple opportunities in a 24-hour period to watch the titles such as:
- The River
- DiepCity
- Gqerberha the Empire
- Gomora, and
- Arendsvlei.
According to the brand, DStv SWITCH’D ON Channels 109 and 110 will be open to South Africa and Lesotho customers.
The brand says that DStv Premium and DStv Compact Plus subscribers will continue to be able to view their content through DStv Catch-up and on the DStv app as well.
