While we enrich lives through
entertaining audiences, MultiChoice continues to be an aggregator of content. We
find, develop content and deliver it to viewers through various avenues of
technology, allowing us to have a geographical footprint through partnering
with local Namibians, while providing access to technical and content
infrastructure.
Alongside Shipi FM this
partnership speaks to our continued efforts as we remain pioneers in the digital broadcasting space and as our partnership grows, we will continue to support one another in
efforts to enhance television viewing experiences in the homes of all
Namibians.
