MultiChoice has announced the upcoming discontinuation of Showmax following a comprehensive review of its streaming operations. We covered this story recently and you can read more about it here. It is believed Canal+ wants to axe Showmax in favour of its own streaming platform.
The company emphasized that no retrenchments are expected as part of this transition. Employees will be supported through various transition options and subscribers can continue using Showmax without any immediate service interruption.
MultiChoice said that the phase-out is part of a broader strategy to deploy its in-house large-scale streaming platform capable of meeting the expectations of African and international audiences. The company also plans further content expansions, platform upgrades and strategic partnerships.
More details on the future streaming offerings and transition plans for subscribers will be shared in the coming months as MultiChoice works to deliver a superior, consolidated streaming experience.
