Updated (21/08/2020): MultiChoice To Add Wild Earth As A New Wildlife Channel On DStv

MultiChoice will add the South African based platform Wild Earth on their DStv platform later this month.

The news was shared in one of their outlets in Africa. Most of the time South African media outlets avoid channel related news from other markets but the reason this one gets attention is the platform is based in South Africa.

WildEarth broadcasts LIVE wildlife content from all over the world. WE are a community of passionate nature lovers. They are also the geniuses behind SafariLIVE.

safariLIVE has been broadcasted to National Geographic WILD for over four years both on the internet and television, Since the relationship started in late 2014, safariLIVE has broadcast over 100 hours of television to National Geographic WILD including an 8 week primetime series. Furthermore, our safaris have been licensed to other broadcasters like the SABC and CGTN Africa (an international channel of China’s CCTV).

Wild Earth runs a YouTube channel so the channel will more likely source out content from that area and if possible content that aired on other channels that have their banner.

According to that outlet which is not in South Africa, the channel launches Tuesday, 25 August next to Nat Geo Wild on channel 183 and will be made available to DStv Premium, Compact+, Compact and Family customers. The availability differs in each market so no one knows how the availability will be handled in other countries. South Africa might add it and make more accessible at this moment the availability is quo for South Africa.

MultiChoice SA seems clueless about Wild Earth that doesn't mean they will be clueless forever. They are having a showcase next week so this channel will more likely be mentioned around the time.

Launches 25 August on DStv Premium and Compact+
