Quincy Jones himself also shared his excitement, “I’m so proud to announce that QWEST TV is now available on Multichoice, Africa’s leading entertainment network. This means that my friends in South Africa, and forty-three more African territories, will have access to great, genre-defying music, 24/7. Africa is the source of music’s heartbeat and the cradle of modern music. I’m looking forward to celebrating diverse sounds with y’all!”
The Executive Head for General Entertainment Channels at MultiChoice Group, Georginah Machiridza, emphasized the importance of such partnerships in expanding the content offerings for viewers with quality entertainment. “What is key to us is that, whilst our audiences are driven by an appetite for homegrown content, we also complement it with the best in international content. Our partnership with QWEST TV is one we are thrilled about, and we cannot wait for our DSTV customers to experience it,” she said.
