Last month, it was reported that M-Net's Me and 1Magic would exit MultiChoice's DStv by early February . This was after several consumers had recieved a notification from MultiChoice about the closures with the pay-tv company that had since then gone rogue. The termination would have come a few weeks before MultiChoice officially launched the rebranded Showmax service . It would form as part of a joint venture with Comcast's NBCUniversal which would bring Peacock's best in class technology and content to the streamer. NBCUniversal also supplies linear channels such as Universal TV, Studio Universal, E! Entertainment, DreamWorks and Telemundo on DStv.

These channels were curated specifically for MultiChoice consumers and with Canal+ offer over a possible takeover one has to wonder what fate might await linear offering viewed on StarSat and several other pay-tv platforms in Africa.
