Aletta Alberts, General Manager Content, MultiChoice: “Movies are a key driver for pay-TV viewers. We are always looking to strengthen the DStv channel line-up by offering our subscribers more high value content. We believe that Studio Universal will enrich the DStv platform – giving our DStv Compact and DStv Premium viewers a dedicated blockbuster movie channel.”
