BREAKING. MultiChoice not doing porn television.



You're reading it here first.

I can tell you that MultiChoice has made a decision regarding the possibility of adult television channels after recent market research . . . and has decided not to add any pornographic or adult TV channels to the bouquet.

MultiChoice that operates the DStv platform in Africa told me  that ''MultiChoice has no intention of launching adult channels''.

I broke the news that MultiChoice and DStv is looking at the possibility of porn TV channels RIGHT HERE.

MultiChoice says that the market research that the satellite pay TV platform has conducted on the possibility of sex TV channels which could have included hard pornography, soft pornography or a possible combination of that over one or more TV channels, ''indicates that a significant portion of subscribers are against adult channels, while some are indifferent to it and another significant section positive''.

''It was unfortunate that the research conducted was misinterpreted by some people to mean that a decision was made to introduce an adult content channel on our bouquets,'' says Nolo Letele, group CEO of MultiChoice South Africa.

Nolo Letele said the research conducted was done because ''some competitors about to launch in South Africa may or may not include adult channels on their services''.
