MultiChoice's smorgasbord "OpenWeek" TV content announcement comes as struggling rival On Digital Media (ODM) plans to unveil its brand-new StarSat pay-TV offering tomorrow in the place of the damaged TopTV brand.
MultiChoice will give subscribers to DStv Access, Select 1, Select 2, DStv Family, DStv Compact and DStv Extra dozens of TV channels for a week at no extra cost and which DStv Premium subscribers pay a premium for.
This includes the range of sought-after SuperSport channels as well as a litany of third-party and M-Net supplied entertainment, documentary, music, news, movie and kids channels.
The sought-after M-Net branded entertainment and movie channels will be made available to Select 1, Select 2, DStv Family, DStv Compact and DStv Extra subscribers on the weekend of 16 and 17 November.
The DStv Premium Open Week suddenly gives DStv subscribers access to programming ranging from cricket and rugby action to Bear Grylls, and from CBeebies to Top Gear Australia.
