24 January 2023: MultiChoice is proud to announce the launch of DStv SWITCH’D ON, an intervention to lessen the frustration of DStv viewers due to the impact of the ongoing load-shedding which reduces their opportunity to consistently watch prime-time television. This intervention will give viewers up to five times to watch their favourite primetime shows when the lights come back on.
DStv SWITCH’D ON Channels 109 and 110 will launch on Tuesday 24 January 2023. These two new pop-up channels will air selected prime-time content from Mzansi Magic, Mzansi Wethu and Kyknet & Kie respectively. Ensuring that DStv customers have multiple opportunities in a 24-hour period to watch the titles such as The River, DiepCity, Gqerberha the Empire, Gomora and Arendsvlei.
DStv SWITCH’D ON Channels 109 and 110 will be open to South Africa and Lesotho customers. DStv Premium and DStv Compact Plus subscribers will continue to be able to view their favourite content through Catch-up and on the DStv app as well.
