A new channel is being added to a DStv competitor in South Africa, according to a report from MyBroadband published on Monday, 31 August 2026.
MyBroadband did not specify which rival platform is receiving the channel, nor the name or launch date of the new offering. The report only confirms that an additional channel is on the way for one of DStv’s competitors in the country.
The news comes as South Africa’s pay-TV market continues to see increased competition. DStv, operated by MultiChoice, has long dominated the sector, but several streaming services and satellite providers have been expanding their local offerings in recent years. MyBroadband’s report points to another step in that ongoing shift, though details remain limited.
Without further information from the outlet, it is unclear whether the new channel will be a local production, an international feed, or part of a broader content push. Subscribers to the unnamed rival will likely need to wait for an official announcement to learn more.
For now, the key takeaway is that competition in South African television is intensifying, with at least one DStv alternative adding to its lineup. MyBroadband’s report suggests more movement in this space, and CYBEV.io will continue to track any follow-up details as they emerge.
