Last month it was reported by Warner Bros. Discovery that the children's channel Boomerang would not only be exiting the DStv platform but the whole of Africa for a new channel known as Cartoonito catering to preschoolers and their families.
Now consumers will be bidding farewell to yet another channel, CCTV-4. It's a free-to-air TV channel from China Central Television, which broadcasts documentaries, music, news, dramas, sports, and children’s shows from the Greater China area.
It is currently available on all DStv packages —from the broadcaster’s cheapest EasyView plan to the top-end Premium bouquet.
According to MultiChoice, the decision for removing the channel had to do with low viewership and the reviewing of channels. There hasn't been any mentions of a replacement but fans of Asian programming can tune into NHK World Japan, KIX and CGTN.
Ahead of CCTV-4 termination on the DStv platform at the end of March, the pay-tv operator recently launched SuperSport Schools with Qwest TV being added back in January and M-Net Movies Action returning out for a limited time only.
