Multichoice: ESPN Cancels All Their Channels In Africa!

This is a press release from Multichoice concerning ESPN who have decided that they do not want nor need the African market -afterall, we aren’t exactly what is considered to be “prime market”.

MultiChoice would like to notify its DStv subscribers that it has received notification from ESPN that it intends to close the ESPN and ESPN Classic Television Channels in Africa on 31 July 2013. This appears to be a business decision by ESPN affecting all its channels in Africa, Europe and Middle East.

MultiChoice will keep its subscribers informed of developments in this regard and would like to thank them for their continued support.
