Jun 27 , 2020

MultiChoice, the country’s sole distributor of Digital Satellite Television (DStv), and ViacomCBS Networks Africa have introduced the Amharic language to Nick Jr., the educational, pre-school channel from Nickelodeon. The addition will be available starting Monday, June 22, 2020. This initially phased approach of the Amharic programming content line-up will give active DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact, and Family customers in Ethiopia more choices while ensuring that each DStv package offers more value to Ethiopian customers. Recently, MultiChoice Ethiopia has added eight local television channels to its offering. The company has taken on the Oromia Broadcasting Network, the Amhara Mass Media Agency, Tigrai Mass Media Agency, Arts, LTV, Walta, Nahoo TV,  and Asham TV television channels under its DSTV packages. Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporate (EBC), Ethiopian Broadcasting Service (EBS) and Fana Television, the three most viewed local channels, are also part of DStv.
