MultiChoice and M-Net are working on, and will roll out new localised entertainment TV channels in specific African countries like Ghana, Ethiopa and Mozambique over the coming months and into 2021, as well as a general lifestyle channel inspired by an African ethos for the continent.
Like the Mzansi Magic channel in South Africa, Zambesi Magic in Zambia, and Pearl Magic in Uganda, M-Net will launch a new general entertainment channel in Ghana but the pay-TV channel provider hasn't decided on a name yet.
The new Ghana M-Net channel will carry M-Net Original productions including a Ghana telenovela, Ghana reality shows and Ghana comedy and will be positioned as a flagship channel for DStv subscribers there.

MultiChoice is also working on a general entertainment channel for Ethiopia where M-Net is already working on its first telenovela that will be in the Amharic language.
MultiChoice will also launch an African lifestyle channel for the continent like Discovery's HGTV and BBC Lifestyle.
"Now it's time to showcase to ourselves, the best of our fashion, the best of our cooking, and the best of the way in which we live," said Yolisa Phahle who made the announcement about the additional new channels that MultiChoice Africa and M-Net are working on, at the 2020 DStv Showcase.
