MultiChoice is home to over 100 premium channels including M-Net, Universal TV, BBC Earth, National Geographic, CNN and Sky News. As it is, the pay-tv company isn't only known for their premium services but their load of repeats.
Everyday you get to rewatch the entire seasons of Two And A Half Men and The Big Bang Theory on Comedy Central and the same can be said about CBS Reality with Judge Judy, Hardcore Pawn and Cheaters.
You even find MultiChoice offering a duplicate Mzansi Magic to consumers who have Mzansi Magic kind of like how they advertise DStv to those already using their products. Interesting to note, not all these duplicates can be viewed on a package like Premium.
Basically, we have Me, Discovery Family, Real Time, Mzansi Wethu and Nicktoons available on a package like Premium while as kykNET Lekker, Moja 9.9., Magic Showcase and CineMagic aren't.
On the basis of Discovery Family, the reason was to give other customers e.g. Compact and Family access to the content viewed on Discovery Channel and later on Animal Planet and the same can be referenced for the above-mentioned brands.
If I had look at why Mzansi Wethu is on Premium, it's for this reason in particular remember how kykNET & Kie was just seen as kykNET Lekker for kykNET well there's telenovelas on there meaning even Premium clients don't have to rely on kykNET for the freshest shows.
Mzansi Wethu has got plenty of content you won't find on Mzansi Magic and M-Net is just telling viewers on the Premium package that Mzansi Wethu can benefit them as much as it already has with Access customers.
