DStv reinstalls EWTN, scraps IQRAA


After several protests from subscribers and members of the Catholic faith, DStv last Saturday reinstalled the Catholic channel, Eternal Word Television Network.
Menawhile, the DStv has via its Facebook page told its subscribers that it is terminating the Islamic channel IQRAA. The message was posted on Wednesday, September 12, 2012 at 4:54am read:
“We wish to advise DStv subscribers that IQRAA (channel 346) will be terminating on September 15, 2012 at 11pm on the DStv platform.
“MultiChoice considers a number of key factors when assessing the viability of a channel on the platform; these include the cost of distribution, the channel offering within the context of similar channels in that genre, subscriber feedback and the number of viewers and popularity of that channel.
“MultiChoice Africa has reached a mutual agreement with the channel distributor to terminate IQRAA from the DStv platform.”
