As Expected, Disney XD And FOX Life Stop Airing On DStv By The End Of September
MultiChoice Group (MCG) has confirmed that as of September 30th at 23:59 CAT, Disney XD (channel 304) and FOX Life (channel 126) will stop airing on the DStv platform. The change is a result of ongoing review of channels by content providers and platform partners.
As per your query, I wanted to close the loop with this update:
We can now confirm that the Disney XD and FoxLife channels will close at midnight on Wednesday 30 September.
As the television landscape and viewer consumption evolves, we continue to develop and review our products and services - including with our platform partners - to ensure we are offering the best possible experience for consumers.
Whilst Disney XD will no longer air, some of the channels most popular and iconic animated and live action series will be brought to Disney Channel, expanding the channel’s programming offer to viewers. Whilst FoxLife will no longer air, we are excited to continue to entertain DStv viewers with world-class series and programming from Fox Channel.
