Starting from the 31st of March, Channel O Africa will be
moving houses when the channel stops airing on DStv channel 320 and GOtv
channel 70. Touted as Africa’s biggest music takeover, Channel O will hand over
the baton to Africa Magic, who are set to take over as the new home of local
music in Africa.
The decision was made by M-NET to refocus strategy in
order to achieve a more efficient and streamlined approach that will enhance
subscribers’ television experience by providing them with regionalised music
content.
One of the results of this new approach was the
termination of the rest of Africa feed of Channel O, effective on Tuesday, the
31st March 2015, to allow M-Net to create customised music content according to
regional preferences on its existing Africa Magic brands where the rest of
Africa’s music talent will get ample space to shine.
From the 1st of April, subscribers can tune into Africa
Magic World (GOtv channel 10 and DStv channel 155) to keep abreast of the best
in West African music talent. The channel will get viewers into party-mode with
an hour-long daily music show which will showcase the latest music videos made
in Africa. Maisha Magic Swahili on GOtv channel 4 and DStv channel 158 will
continue to support the East Africa’s musicians by promoting their music videos
on various music shows.
