DSTV Expands Service Offerings to Nigerian Consumers

BrandiQ Report

Determined to better serve its teeming customers, DSTV has unfolded fresh plans to expand and improve its movie offerings to consumers across the Nigerian market.

Starting from Tuesday, September 1, 2020 the current six M-Net Movie channels will be re-organized and consolidated into four easy-to-access channels.  

Even though DStv has streamlined the M-Net channels, this will not impact the number of movies on the DStv packages. The audiences will benefit from a leaner, spruced-up M-Netslate. 

Adding to this is the new KIX channel launching in October this year, bringing viewers the best of Martial Arts from the old-time favourites such as Jet Li, Jackie Chan and more. Film fanatics can also rest assured that DStv and M-Net team will continue to create popular pop-up channels built around popular franchises or themes. 

“It is important for us to facilitate the best possible viewing experience for our DStv customers in our ever-evolving world of entertainment”, says John Ugbe, CEO MultiChoice Nigeria. “While the proposition of the current six movie channels – M-Net Movies Premiere, Action Plus, Action, Smile, Zone and All-Stars – made perfect sense when they launched years ago, recent comments and requests from our movie loving DStv audiences indicated that it was time for a reboot.” 

In addition, the CEO further stated that at MultiChoice, this is just the beginning – the first step onto an exciting planned journey of developments on the film fronts. “In our quest to remain Africa’s most-loved storyteller, innovation and quality will always be key. Local movies will also play an increasingly important role, alongside screening handpicked Hollywood films first on all our platforms.”

MultiChoice platforms include DStv satellite television, GOtv, Showmax, BoxOffice, DStv Catch Up and DStv Now. The streamlined M-Net Movie channels arrangement for different DStv audiences will make it easier to find the right movie, at just the right time: 

This is the new number-one destination for the latest local and international feel-good, wholesome movies for the entire family. Those who loved the kid-friendly Animania festivals on M-Net Movies Smile, as well as blockbuster romcoms and gripping dramas, will need an ample supply of popcorn for the good times ahead. 

Buckle up! M-Net Movies 2 will unleash an adrenaline rush with recent heart-pumping, explosive action films. The schedule will be packed with all kinds of adventures and thrills and spills at maximum velocity.

Welcome to the place where all the movie heroes and heroines hang out, either saving the day in adventure classics or inhabiting the imaginary worlds of sci-fi and fantasy. Sometimes, they even tickle the funny bones in star-studded comedies or show off their acting chops in gripping dramas. 

The world’s biggest blockbusters, as well as their prequels and sequels are lined up here. While movie franchise lovers can enjoy great movies for hours on end, friends and family can join all the action.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting on this channel. The best of all Martial Arts movies will live here. This channel promises to bring all the viewers the best scenes from all-time favourites, from Jackie Chan to Bruce Lee – the family will definitely have to dedicate a day of the week to all the action. 

To keep it fresh and exciting, there will be a host of festivals and themed surprises on these channels. Furthermore, the M-Net Movies team will continue cooking up more binge fests with M-Net Movies Pop Up channels. In future, these pop-up delights will be served on DStv Channel 111.
