During the month, MultiChoice unveiled Maningue Magic Kool of course details about the content were underwraps. After a few weeks, the pay-tv company unveiled the first show for the reported upcoming for consumers in Mozambique, Estação Do Boss.

Estação Do Boss (Boss Station) is an entertainment program, with a greater focus on music videos, by the irreverent and international television presenter Emerson Miranda. It features behind the scenes of some video clips, interviews from singers.

This series is currently seen on Maningue Magic which confirms my suspicions from weeks back. MultiChoice decided to ramp up yet another BBC UKTV or better yet Magic Showcase to consumers in the region probably another way

As they currently list it under the GOtv Essentials (channel 3) and DStv Base packages (channel 505) which serves as the cheaper tiers within the market. This channel similar to various regionalized M-Net channels appear to be applicable to consumers in the region.

The channel is expected to rollout in the coming weeks.

In other developments, MultiChoice is rumoured to be adding a third kids brand from Warner Bros. Discovery, Boing. Similar to Maningue Magic Kool, the channel was listed under an existing tile before being officially announced by the respective party.

New Channel Alert: MultiChoice To Rollout Maningue Kool On The DStv And GOtv Platform

In 2022, MultiChoice added two Portuguese-language TV channels: Maningue Magic in Mozambique and Kwenda Magic in Angola - for DStv and GOtv subscribers. It features dramas, telenovelas, reality shows, comedies, music and original content.

After a year or few months, MultiChoice is looking to expand the number of Portuguese/local channels within the market with the launch of Maningue Kool.

Maningue Kool serves as a spin-off to the current Maningue Magic and is also the sister channel to various regional brands by M-Net which too have gotten spun off including Pearl Magic, Maisha Magic, KykNET, Mzansi Magic and Africa Magic.

Not much details is known about the content but considering MultiChoice's recent batch of local channels, Magic Showcase and CineMagic. It wouldn't be shocking if this served as somewhat of a repeat channel to the current Kwenda and Maningue Magic if not original.

Amidst the launch of Maningue Magic and Kwenda Magic, MultiChoice's head for these channels had expressed interest in giving consumers in these regions a platform for their talent and Maningue Kool could as well be part of those endeavours.

Maningue Kool is expected to launch on DStv channel 505 and GOtv channel 3.
