MNET unviels new channels

Box office some weeks ago revealed that MNET is planning to bring in new channels. Earlier this week in a release,  M-Net revealed more details on the channels being added.

Rounding off the changes is a brand new channel AfricaMagic Entertainment which will serve as the home for all M-Net’s original African productions from East, West and Central Africa. The AfricaMagic channels therefore become the home to a wide range of African content while the M-Net channel will focus on international movies and series.
Summing up the new channels simply, M-Net Africa MD Biola Alabi says, “It makes business sense to listen to your consumers when they express their needs and this is what we’ve done. 2012 is going to be a flagship year for AfricaMagic. We want it to be remembered as the year African viewers pushed forward a revolution in television, making African content the star of African screens!”

The new channels include; Africamagic World, A channel created to introduce new AfricaMagic viewers to a variety of African programming. Formerly the MagicWorld channel, this general entertainment channel offers a wide range of African programming to audiences including re-screenings of series and movies that they may not have had the opportunity to view previously. Others include; Africa Magic (Family), Africamagic Movies which is also available to GOtv subscribers.

Others are; Africamagic (Entertainment)A brand-new, stylish African entertainment channel for the bold viewer who wants to watch African TV programming, and Africamagic Movies 1, a channel for the movie fan who wants to see Africa’s hottest stars in the latest contemporary African movies. In addition to its five English language AfricaMagic channels, AfricaMagic Hausa, Swahili and Yoruba will continue to be screened in the different regions as it is currently.
