The SuperSport variety channels on GOtv packages have been changed by a leading pay-TV provider, MultiChoice Nigeria.
The company in a statement over the weekend disclosed that subscribers would begin to notice the changes from Wednesday, October 9, 2024.
Under the new arrangement, the current SuperSport Select Channel will be rebranded to SuperSport Africa, with a new channel, SuperSport Action, to be introduced to bring customers access to a broader range of sporting events, including UFC and additional Champions League games.
A breakdown of the revamp showed that SuperSport Africa will replace Select 2 (Channel 64) on GOtv Jinja and GOtv Jolli packages, SuperSport Africa and SuperSport Africa 2 will replace Select 1 and Select 2 (Channels 63 and 64) on GOtv Max package, while SuperSport Action will replace Select 3 (Channel 69) on GOtv Supa and SupaPlus bouquets.
MultiChoice stated that this upgrade is to provide customers with an enhanced sports viewing experience, noting that it would offer sports enthusiasts a vibrant mix of high-quality highlights, repeats of relevant sports, boxing events and much more.
“The channel revamp is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our sports offering and provide our customers with more unbeatable sports content that resonates with them.
“The new channels will feature the latest sports action from across the globe, but with a focus on content that’s specifically tailored for the African viewer. This includes local boxing, UFC events, comprehensive analysis, and a variety of other engaging content.
“We remain committed to delivering the best sporting action to our customers and continuously look for ways to delight them with more choice, exciting live content, and great value,” the Executive Head of Marketing at MultiChoice West Africa, Mr Tope Oshunkeye, stated.
To enjoy these exciting new offerings, customers can subscribe, reconnect or upgrade using the MyGOtv App or by dial *288#. They can also download the GOtv Stream app to watch their favourite sports programmes on the go.
