Movie Room
Movie Room will offer entertaining local and international movies 24/7, from big blockbuster hits to unforgettable cinema classics,” said the group’s co-founder Thokozani Nkosi.
“Cinema buffs, action aficionados, and casual viewers alike will be spoilt for choice.”
Nkosi said the channel’s line-up would be carefully curated to cater for every mood — ranging from “edge-of-your-seat” action hits to comforting old favorites.
The group would use its experience setting up Newzroom Afrika to make smart decisions in its approach to the channel.
Movie Room will be available on channel 113 from 27 August 2022. MultiChoice is yet to confirm which of its DStv packages will offer the new channel.
The channel is the fourth new entry to DStv’s catalogue during 2022, following Dreamworks and Kix, which were added in March 2022, and NHK World-Japan in July.
