By Staff writer

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia- MultiChoice Africa has announced that it would be undertaking a reordering of all existing channels across the DStv bouquets.
“These changes will “go-live” on IS-7 from approximately 02h00 (CAT) on 1st October 2007 while on W4 and IS-10 the channel changes will go-live from approximately 02h00 (CAT) on 4th October 2007”, read the press release issued by MultiChoice.

According to MultiChoice the channel reshuffle aims to enhance subscribers viewing experience by moving channels into their correct genre, restructuring the flow of the bouquet and create additional space to accommodate future channel additions. Channels will now have three digit numbers instead of two, starting with channel 100. The bouquet will be comprised of the following genres; general entertainment, movies, lifestyle and culture, sport, documentary, news and commerce, kids, music, religion, consumer channels, DMX and radio.

Says Aletta Alberts MultiChoice’s GM Content, “While the channel shuffle may initially cause some confusion, our aim is ultimately to offer a better service to our subscribers”.
To get more information on the reordering of channel numbers, DStv subscribers can refer to their October issue of DISH magazine which will include a keepsake outlining the new channel grid for easy reference or log onto www.dstvafrica.com. In addition, from Thursday 20th September channel 199 will be dedicated to information about the reshuffle for IS-7 and W4 subscribers.
