MultiChoice subscribers in Kenya and across Africa face the potential loss of 12 major channels from Warner Bros Discovery, including Discovery Channel and CNN International, starting December 31 if ongoing negotiations fail. This shake-up comes amidst Canal+'s acquisition of MultiChoice and its strategy to streamline costs.

• 12 channels, including Cartoon Network, are set to go dark if a deal isn't reached by December 31.
• Affected channels are primarily from their carriage agreement with Warner Bros Discovery.
• The decision is part of MultiChoice's new owner, Canal+'s, strategy to reduce costs and optimize content offerings, with new content expected in 2026.
