M-Net, multichoice lift the lid on new Dstv premium channels

This month, DStv audiences will be
exposed to two new high-end television
channels that will hit the screens in the
next two weeks. These out-of-the-
ordinary additions to DStv's Premium
package will be called M-Net Edge (113)
and VUZU AMP (114).

Switched-on, trendy viewers who
currently enjoy VUZU, will be able to
dive into the coolness and amplifi ed
experience of VUZU AMP for the first
time on Tuesday 13 October at 17:00
CAT. Channel 114 on DStv will be the
home of this amplified VUZU channel
featuring local and international content
in HD.

On Tuesday 20 October at 19:00 CAT, M-
Net Edge will officially launch on
channel 102, as the thought provoking
and more irreverent home to
awardwinning television.

It will be a companion to flagship
channel M-Net 101, known for its
blockbuster and Hot off the Heels
series.Due to the age restrictions linked
to the programming on M-Net Edge, the
channel will be on air for eleven hours
only – from 18:00 CAT in the evening
until 05:00 CAT the next morning.

The revolutionary M-Net Edge line-up
will feature the most critically acclaimed
cult-craze series from Hollywood – the
kind of risqué shows you would prefer
not to watch with the entire family. On
the October schedule, for example, you
will find the eagerly awaited Emmy
awardwinning comedy-drama Orange is
the New Black. Among the other big
attractions are the brand new series
Masters of Sex and Satisfaction, as well
as new seasons of The Americans, Defi
ance and American Horror Story.

VUZU AMP will kick off its mission to be
the antidote to average with The Flash,
which means that the channel will boast
"Express from the US" titles. The show
will premiere in the US on 7 October and
will make its debut shortly thereafter on
VUZU Amp. Already earning a huge
amount of attention in global TV-land,
The Flash is based on the DC Comics
character Flash, a costumed superhero
crime-fighter – and is a spin-off of
Arrow.

At the time of its launch, VUZU AMP will
also host many season premieres of
hugely popular television series, among
them The Vampire Diaries, Devious
Maids, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, So You Think
You Can Dance and Pretty Little Liars.

To make way for these two
unprecedented channels, the current M-
Net Series Showcase and M-Net Series
Reality channels on DStv Premium will
discontinue. Instead, the content from
these channels will be found on M-Net
Edge (channel 113) or VUZU AMP
(channel 114).
