MultiChoice Angola adds Viacom's Nickelodeon kids channel in Portuguese to DStv.

MultiChoice Angola has added Viacom's Nickelodeon kids channel in Portuguese to DStv, further extending Nickelodeon's presence across the African continent.

Nickelodeon in Portuguese will be available on the DStv Bué and DStv Mega packages in Angola.

MultiChoice Angola as a satellite pay-TV operator, is run as a franchise division in that country by Jembas AssistĂȘncia Tecnica.

Nickelodeon in Portuguese was added on 4 March in Angola on DStv channel 573, with Viacom Africa making the announcement of the channel addition on 8 March.

"Extending our brand offering in a more engaging and accessible way across Africa is key to our growth strategy," says Alex Okosi, the executive vice president and managing director of Viacom International Media Networks Africa (VIMN Africa) & BET International.

"Our much-loved Nickelodeon brand in Portuguese will enable a deeper connection for kids and families in Angola."

Eduardo Continentino, MultiChoice Angola general manager, says "this channel is a direct representation of how DStv is committed to investing in content".


"By customising an offer to better resonate and align with the needs of Angolan children and youth audiences, DStv shows that customers are indeed at the heart of all decisions made. We believe that this channel will add value to our existing channels grid."
