Multichoice, the parent company of DStv, has made a surprising U-turn, announcing that it will broadcast all 52 matches of the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament on its Supersports channels.
The earlier decision not to broadcast on SuperSport channels due to failed rights acquisition had sparked disappointment among football enthusiasts. The sudden reversal, communicated via @DstvNg on Twitter, signals a shift in strategy, with fans now able to catch all the AFCON action on Supersports.
The Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) has also joined the broadcast lineup, securing transmission rights for the 52 matches through a Memorandum of Understanding with Afro Sports. Explore the impact of Multichoice's decision and the evolving landscape of sports broadcasting in Africa.
