The affected channels include CNN International, Discovery Channel, TLC, TNT Africa, Food Network, HGTV, Investigation Discovery, Cartoon Network, and others, at a time when MultiChoice is battling shrinking subscriber numbers and mounting financial pressure, having lost 2.8 million linear customers in two years.
The potential content loss comes amid broader shifts in the global media landscape, with WBD attracting acquisition interest and Canal+ repositioning DStv for Africa’s streaming wars following its $3 billion takeover of MultiChoice.
