DStv subscribers are in for a treat this summer as the pay-tv platform is launching four new channels.
The channels are, a children’s educational channel Da Vinci, factual information channel CuriosityStream, crime investigation channel CBS Justice and well-known news provider Euronews.
Da Vinci came on stream on November 12, while the other three channels launched on November 21. Euronews was previously available only to DStv viewers in West and East Africa, but is now available to Southern African subscribers, too.
The new channels come to DStv soon after MultiChoice reached an agreement with A+E to extend the carriage contract for History and Lifetime which continues to air on DStv.
“We are excited by the new thrust and range of programming provided by the new channels and we know they will quickly find audiences in Zimbabwe, eager for additional world-class content,” said MultiChoice Zimbabwe publicity and public relations manager, Liz Dziva.
Da Vinci is named after, and inspired by, the famous artist, scientist, and inventor Leonardo Da Vinci. The channel seeks to satisfy young people’s interest in the world around them, from science and arts to innovation and creativity.
CuriosityStream is an award-winning global channel delivering factual entertainment, launched by John Hendricks, the visionary founder of the Discovery Channel.
