Channel O To Shut Down In Two Weeks

M-Net to shut down Channel O Africa from March 31st.

M-Net yesterday, March 10, announced that the music on Channel O
Africa is moving house on 31 March when the channel stops airing on
DStv channel 320 and GOtv channel 70 (where available).

Channel O will hand over the baton to AfricaMagic, who are taking over
as the new home of local music in Africa.

One of the results of this new approach was the termination of the
rest of Africa feed of Channel O, 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.

The statement from M-Net said:"From 1 April, subscribers can tune into
AfricaMagic 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."
