Multichoice Ghana has unveiled a year of exciting television content during a Virtual
Content Showcase at the weekend. The content showcase revealed exciting and
thrilling content that will keep you glued to your TV screen for the rest of the 2021. Due
to the prevalence of Covid-19 in Ghana, this year’s Content Showcase was held
virtually allowing customers to watch the live stream via Zoom and other social media
platforms.
The 2021 content showcase which highlighted MultiChoice’s new product offerings,
updates on technological innovations and local content investments, is a start of an
exciting journey for 2021. Speaking during the Showcase Cecil Sunkwa Mills,

reflects their viewing needs.” She added that DStv and GOtv customers want a
personalised and compelling streaming experience and we deliver it via the best-in-
class technology.
On his part, Channel Manager of Akwaaba Magic, Kennedy Danyi-Appah said

introduction of the Akwaaba Magic channel as well as building capacity of players
through the MultiChoice Talent Factory initiative.” During the event, several MultiChoice
achievements were highlighted which included the successful graduation of four
Ghanaian students from the West Africa hub of the MultiChoice Talent Factory.
Entrenching the Hyper-Local strategy announced last year by MutiChoice Africa was

HONEY, an Africa Lifestyle channel. Through these investments, we have continued to
be leaders not only in entertainment and sports broadcast but consolidates our position

challenges and we continue to deliver the biggest variety of content to meet all taste
and pocket sizes leveraging on our cutting edge technology to our DStv and GOtv
customers,” said Nii Amah Dagadu, Corporate Affairs Manager, MultiChoice Ghana.
