MultiChoice to launch ‘Me’

STAFF REPORTER WINDHOEK ‘Me’, a channel is targeted at DStv Family and DStv Compact viewers, will also be available to DStv Premium and DStv Compact Plus audiences. The launch of ‘Me’ will see two channels, M-Net City (channel 115) and Vuzu (116), merged to create a bigger, better channel aimed to give viewers their famous, world-class series and reality shows in one place. “We’re changing the way we package content and creating a single, extensive, well-curated destination. ‘Me’ will give our viewers and subscribers a multifaceted, competitive channel offering, and we’re pleased to offer the best international entertainment in one place,” Yolisa Phahle, CEO of general entertainment for the MultiChoice Group said.M-Net City was launched as a channel where viewers can catch up on the latest and best international series, while Vuzu has always been the true voice of an edgier African youth. ‘Me’ will feature the best of both its predecessors, while establishing a new identity strategically crafted with the discerning audience in mind. ‘Me’ is a destination for primarily the 18 to 34-year-old market, and, in addition to international scripted content, it will feature lifestyle shows and celebrity content that has been previously broadcast on M-Net and 1Magic. “‘Me’ is taking us in an exciting direction that speaks to the multiplatform world we live in and further sharpens our aim to give our subscribers content that they connect with,” Phahle said. What to expect‘Me’ will launch with daily episodes of ‘The Rookie’, ‘NCIS: New Orleans’, ‘Survivor Australia’ and ‘Young Sheldon’ from 17:00 to 20:00. From 20:30, you can join for a mix of local and international series like ‘Lioness’, ‘Prodigal Son’, ‘All American’ and ‘911’. ‘The Real Housewives’ (starting with the Atlanta crew) will bring the drama every weekday at 21:30, leading to the late-night slot. 22:30 is when you can get a little dark with acclaimed international dramas and thrillers like ‘Godfather of Harlem’, ‘Clarice’ and ‘Flight Attendant’.On weekends, it’s ‘Me’-time. Start Friday evening with ‘The Bachelorette SA’ or a movie. Saturdays and Sunday are filled with game shows, talent shows and reality shows like ‘Beat Shazam’, ‘American Idol’ and ‘Growing Up Hip-Hop’. Sunday evening at 20:00 will feature acclaimed dramas such as ‘Queen Sugar’.“‘Me’ is TV made personal. It’s a place to unwind. It’s a channel that will change and evolve to continue to offer viewers more of what they like,” Multichoice said in a statement, adding that M-Net City and Vuzu will officially close on Friday, 29 October. ‘Me’ will launch on Monday, 1 November, at 16:00 on channel 115.
