MultiChoice has removed four e.tv channels on DStv with immediate effect.
In March, the companies announced that eMedia's eMovies, eMovies Extra, eExtra and eToonz channels, available on DStv as part of the company's previous channel agreement – which expired in March 2022 – will no longer be available on DStv from 1 April.
However, MultiChoice did renew the agreement to broadcast eNCA (403) exclusively on DStv and broadcast the daily Afrikaans News bulletin on kykNet (144), which came into effect from 1 April 2022.
eMedia took MultiChoice to the Competition Commission's Competition Tribunal, seeking to force MultiChoice to keep carrying eMovies, eMovies eExtra, eExtra and eToonz. These channels are available on the eMedia-owned free-to-air satellite service Openview.
