You're reading it here first.
I can exclusively confirm that MultiChoice's DStv platform is definitely set to add two brand new channels, KidsCo (DStv 308) and AfriMusic (DStv 326) for South African DStv subscribers and that both of these new channels will be going live on Monday, 12 July 2010 together with Mzansi Magic (DStv 107).
In May I told you RIGHT HERE that it seems as if DStv is getting ready to launch Kidsco as well as AfroMusic as new channels in Southern Africa and now it is indeed happening a week from today, and exactly on the channel numbers I speculated it would take place: 308 for KidsCo and 326 for AfroMusic. Mzansi Magic, AfroMusic and KidsCo will all be available to DStv Premium as well as DStv Compact subscribers on the IS7 platform - although DStv has not made any official announcement on any of this yet. All three new TV channels will go live exactly a week from today.
AfroMusic that provides African music, documentaries, concerts as well as other music-related programming as a 24 hour TV channel is already available in Angola and Mozambique on the W7 footprint. The international KidsCo channel that's also been available in other parts of Africa through DStv for a while is aimed at children with animation as well as live action shows and movies.
