MultiChoice has announced the discontinuation of its Africa Magic Family channel after 12 years on air, replacing it with a new entertainment offering called Africa Magic+ as part of a reshuffle of its DStv line‑up.
Africa Magic Family, described as one of the company’s “famous” channels, has been a staple of MultiChoice’s Africa Magic brand since its launch over a decade ago. The channel’s removal marks the end of a long‑running service that has been available to DStv subscribers across the continent.
The newly introduced Africa Magic+ will take the former channel’s slot on the DStv platform, providing viewers with fresh entertainment content. Details on the specific programming schedule for Africa Magic+ have not been disclosed.
MultiChoice said the change is part of broader adjustments to its DStv offerings, aimed at keeping the bouquet current and responsive to subscriber preferences.
As a leading pay‑TV provider in Africa, MultiChoice regularly reviews its channel portfolio to align with market trends and audience demand, and the launch of Africa Magic+ reflects that ongoing strategy.
