MultiChoice has announced the discontinuation of its streaming service Showmax as part of a strategic shift towards a new, in-house large-scale streaming platform. This move is expected to lead to a consolidated and improved streaming experience for audiences.

• Showmax will be phased out, with no immediate service interruptions for subscribers.
• MultiChoice is developing its own platform to cater to African and international audiences.
• No retrenchments are anticipated for employees, who will receive support during the transition.
