M-Net is widening the reach of its 1Magic (DStv 103) TV channel that has been made available from Thursday 18 April to DStv Compact Plus subscribers as well.
The channel, carrying shows like the local telenovela The River, has until now only been available for DStv Premium subscribers, the top-tier package, when the VUZU AMP channel was rebranded as 1Magic.
The bigger accessibility comes one day before the launch of the new format reality show produced by Rapid Blue, One Night with My Ex starting on Friday 19 April on the channel and in which ex-lovers shack up for one night a cameras roll to see if there's any love left.
"Last year, we announced that 1Magic would replace VUZU AMP to make the channel a new home of entertainment for our DStv Premium viewers. This was informed by our drive to invest in local content by showcasing local hit shows alongside international content," says Nkateko Mabaso, M-Net CEO.
"Now as our own way to turn up the heat this winter and keep our viewers on their couches, we have decided to give an added incentive for our DStv Compact Plus subscribers to bring the best entertainment to their living rooms."
