MultiChoice Namibia showcases latest exciting line-up

STAFF REPORTER
At a recent media event in Windhoek, MultiChoice Namibia unveiled a catalogue of more world-class sport, popular titles and much-loved content for the year ahead.

According to the company, its latest content showcase underscores why the much-loved MultiChoice platforms – DStv and GOtv – "continue to offer Namibian audiences the best value in entertainment on the most agile tech channels to ensure easy, secure access anywhere, any time".

The new suite of content - which was unveiled across multiple African regions - drew entertainment and sports media influencers as well as industry partners.

This year will see a focus on local content – for many years the proudest MultiChoice offering – in each respective market. The next few months will also continue the football theme, confirming MultiChoice’s position as the home of football on the African content.

The season is building to a climax in several leading international leagues – the DStv Premiership, English Premier League, Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Copa del Rey and Ligue 1 – and football fans will be glued to DStv and GOtv to see which clubs emerge with the silverware. The FIFA Women’s World Cup is also taking place this year.

Wide range

MultiChoice’s wide range of content offerings is built upon a vast network of national and international partnerships dedicated to providing content that enriches people’s lives – from Luanda to Addis Ababa.

Besides football, sports fans can look forward to F1 racing, NBA as well as UFC and WWE fights, including the 2023 Rugby World Cup in France where Namibia will take part.

“We will be celebrating 10 years of GOtv in Namibia, and our NBC film collaboration, Project Mukorob, which is well underway. These films will be available on Showmax later this year,” MultiChoice Namibia managing director, Roger Gertze, said at the event.

The MultiChoice approach of creating relevant local content for its markets has seen the broadcaster produce more than 6 000 hours of local content in the past financial year, in 40 languages, across 50 countries, reaching more than 100 million people every day.

Meanwhile, customer loyalty has been strengthened, with a surge of one million subscribers in the number of 90-day active subscriber additions, the company said, adding that it currently has a subscriber base of 21 million.

“Our content is about giving our viewers what they want on a range of convenient technology platforms with ease of access and real value for money,” Gertze said.
