MultiChoice states that there were legitimate commercial reasons for its decision not to renew the eChannels.DStv ceased to carry four eMedia entertainment channels following the expiry of a five-year contract at the end of March.
MultiChoice has been accused of"exclusionary conduct" and abuse of dominance by e.tv owner eMedia, because it discontinued the broadcast of four of its channels from the DStv platform after an agreement between the parties lapsed. However, DStv continues to carry eMedia's 24-hour news channel, eNCA, and the daily Afrikaans news bulletin eNuus on kykNET.
MultiChoice states that there were legitimate commercial reasons for its decision not to renew the eChannels.There had been several engagements between the companies prior to the end of March termination date, and eMedia CEO, Khalik Sherrif, in a letter on 13 January 2022, stated that eMedia viewed MultiChoice's refusal to negotiate the contract of the foreclosed channels as an anti-competitive attempt to stunt the broadcaster's market power and amounted to"bullying".
Ngcukaitobi further argued that MultiChoice's refusal to broadcast eMedia's entertainment channels is aimed at"preventing eMedia from competing effectively as a channel provider".
