Yolisa Phahle, MultiChoice Group’s Chief Executive for General Entertainment, said in a statement on Friday that the new channel available on DStv Premium, Compact Plus and Compact offered a wide selection of international programming.

” ‘Me’ sees two channels, M-Net City 115 and Vuzu 116, merge to create a bigger, better channel aimed to give viewers their famous, world class series and reality shows in one place.

She noted that Mnet City 115 was launched as a channel where viewers can catch up on the latest and best international series, while Vuzu 116 has always been the true voice of an edgier African youth.

According to her, ‘Me’ will feature the best of both its predecessors, while establishing a new identity strategically crafted with the discerning audience in mind.

‘Me’ is a destination for primarily the 18 to 34-year-old market, and, in addition to international scripted content, it will feature lifestyle shows and celebrity content that has been previously broadcast on M-Net Channel 101 and 1Magic.
