We're already halfway through the first month of 2023 and MultiChoice announced their first channel of the year, Qwest TV which is expected to launch on January 20th on both DStv and Showmax.
Unveiled at the unexpected showcase for the pay-tv company in 2022, Qwest TV is a jazz infused channel founded in 2017 by musical phenomenon Quincy Jones alongside TV and music producer Reza Ackbaraly.
Qwest TV is set to offer exclusive concerts from legendary and rising stars from across the globe, archived and unreleased material from the likes of Erykah Badu, Questlove, Salif Keita, Gregory Porter, Marcus Miller and Seun Kuti.
During the week, sources had mentioned that the channel would be made accessible to all DStv customers only for the same repetitive antics of last year to slide down in 2023 regarding its availability.
DStv:
- kykNET Lekker Opened To More DStv Customers For A Limited Time
- What Consumers Should Be Concerned About Regarding SABC's Yet To Be Launched Channels On DStv?
- Press Release: DStv Welcomes The Launch Of Quincy Jones’ QWEST TV Onto Screens This Month
- New Channel Alert: WildEarth To Launch In The UK Later In The Year
Last year, eMedia's 4 channels were set to exit the DStv platform with KIX and PBS Kids set to be made available to more DStv customers in March only for them to be offered three months later following the court proceedings with eMedia Investments.
Second INX Prime, a channel not a lot of DStv customers would have noticed with its consistent blackouts was set to launch by August 5th only for it to be delayed to August 24th.
Lastly, MultiChoice had mentioned that they were trying to hide brands like Magic Showcase and BBC UKTV from DStv customers on packages like Compact and Premium as they offer a lot of repeats yet they open kykNET Lekker for a limited time.
In short, something that is common with the likes of StarSat in terms of channels with content residing with Zuku TV had integrated onto MultiChoice. Just as you thought their customer care is worse imagine their PR department would resort to the same measures.
What happened to analysing your facts before making it available for media consumption? Now several customers are lost as the once announced Qwest TV which was set to rollout on all packages is in fact set to rot on the Premium package with Compact granted an open window from 20 January to 19 February.
