DStv premium subscribers set to enjoy series pop-up with M-Net Binge

M-Net and MultiChoice have whipped up another special treat for fans of international television series: a brand new, weekends-only “record channel” called M-Net Binge. From Saturday 6 May M-Net Binge will give DStv Premium customers across the African continent the opportunity to record an entire season of top-notch shows proven to be addictive viewing when they were screened on channels such as M-Net, M-Net Edge and VUZU Amp.

According to a statement, M-Net Binge will be live onDStv Channel 899 on Saturdays and Sundays between 8:30pm and approximately 04:00am the next morning with back-to-back episodes of the selected series for the weekend. Viewers who opt to record these shows will then be able to create their own box sets of shows on their decoders to enjoy when it suits them best. 

“In the ever-changing world of television, binge watching has become a worldwide phenomenon. 

This channel gives viewers a chance to binge on their favourite series” says M-Net CEO Yolisa Phahle in the statement. “M-Net’s  successful movie pop-up channels have shown that our Premium viewers love themed and curated content and M-Net Binge is an exciting initiative for series’ fans to catch up with the best of the best shows that they may have missed or want to watch again. This means that our viewers can clearly distinguish between channels built around fresh content like M-Net with its extended prime-time that runs between 05:00am until midnight and channels that speak to viewer convenience,” explains Phahle.
