MultiChoice South Africa On The Catholic Channel, EWTN

EWTN offers family-oriented, spiritually-enriching programming from a Catholic point of view. The Networks’ diverse programs include live talk shows, news programs, original series and documentaries, teaching series with noted theologians, children’s shows, live coverage of the Pope, a live daily Mass, and much more.

The channel launched 9 years ago for the rest of Africa on MultiChoice's DStv excluding South Africa. EWTN is also available on StarTimes (ROA) and StarSat (South Africa).

During those nine years, A lot of angry DStv customers approached MultiChoice over the possibility of adding EWTN to DStv's South African platform and as always we'll forward your suggestion to a relevant department.

They even created a petition and page to help get the channel to the market seeing as StarSat which is located in South Africa also packages the channel.

Two years ago, I contacted someone with regards to the channel and this is what DStv told them and what they're trying to do:
DStv: Currently it is VERY expensive to get
EWTN on DSTV
The Individual: I have made contact with a representative from EWTN in USA to see how we can get this going, he is currently meeting with the powers that may be to see how we can get the funds available and if it is viable to do so in South Africa.

And two years have passed and EWTN is only available on StarSat. Do you believe MultiChoice South Africa will get this channel they were able to get Da Vinci Kids and AfricaNews on board so anything is possible.
