It’s a sad day for Big Brother Mzansi fans as those who subscribe to the Access Package have been denied access to their favourite reality show.
The hashtag #BringBackChannel started trending on Monday on social media after MultiChoice took away the unencoded Big Brother pop-up channel from DStv Family and DStv Access subscribers who were given access to the channel since the 5th season of the localised Banijay format reality show that started on 23 January.
Big Brother Mzansi has a pop-up channel with daily and weekly highlights on the Mzansi Magic (DStv 161) channel and is now only available to DStv Premium, DStv Compact Plus and DStv Compact subscribers.
“From the onset, we communicated that Big Brother Mzansi would be available exclusively on DStv Compact, DStv Compact Plus and DStv Premium,” MultiChoice told Channel24 in response to a media query.
Many DStv subscribers didn’t get that message and are upset that they’ve now been blocked from continuing to watch the Big Brother Mzansi content they’ve had access to.
