MultiChoice to make local toddler channel Koowee available to DStv Compact subscribers from Monday.

DStv Compact viewers will get access to the local toddler channel Koowee (DStv 307) from this Monday, August 2, MultiChoice tells me.

I was first to break the news RIGHT HERE at the beginning of June that Koowee added a Zulu simulcast sound track option, which on DStv Compact will be the default language setting. On DStv Premium the default language is Afrikaans. DStv Compact subscribers however also have the choice of changing and alternating between the two languages by using the DStv remote control.

''Adding this channel to the DStv Compact bouquet means that more subscribers will have access to children's programming in two of our indigenous languages,'' says Aletta Alberts, MultiChoice's general manager for content.
