TopTV told the press at its first ever press preview event in Cape Town that the South African pay TV operator is aware of a ground roots campaign by subscribers to get MTV Base (DStv 322) as a TV channel but that it is not going to be possible.
Discussing the various music channels available on the TopTV platform, Heather Kennedy, TopTV's vice president for marketing, revealed that there is a "Get MTV Base campaign'" which was started on social media by subscribers who desperately want TopTV to add the channel.
"We hear them; we definitely hear them. We are aware of the 'Get MTV Base campaign'. Unfortunately we can't get MTV Base as a channel for our platform since MTV Base belongs exclusively to DStv," Heather Kennedy said.
