Last month, eMedia Investments and BBC Studios were expected to launch BBC UKTV to the Openview platform none of which came to pass as they were finalising some details with the channel's launch date in very much of a limbo.
Thanks to our sources, we got confirmation that MultiChoice will also be adding BBC UKTV to the DStv platform but don't reveal at what capacity. As it is they've been shying away repeats from certain packages with the channel holding more value for those between the Family to Easyview bouquet.
Although we do have channels like Real Time and Me available on the Premium bouquet so I can see it go either way at this point. The only thing I'm more curious about is which channel is being discontinued as most new channels usually come when one door closes or is on the stage of closure.
My guess the WWE Channel as SuperSport doesn't give credit were due, Spice TV as that channel is hanging on eggshells or Travel Channel as it remains the last talked about channel on the planet.
