New Channel: DSTV Replaces Fashion TV with Fashion One

Fashion lovers got a shocker last year that DSTV's fashion channel, Fashion TV, was going off air this year. The Multichoice service subscribers have gotten notification messages on their deconders that the channel will seize to air on February 29th. Now the pay-tv platform has a replacement.  

Fashion One LLC which was started by Michael Gleissner in 2010 will be taking over the channel 178 dial on Dtsv.

"We are thrilled about the collaboration with MultiChoice which brings us to the position of number one fashion channel in Africa," says Fashion One. 

"The channel will introduce African audiences to fashion like they've never seen it before, as well as great stories about local fashion and lifestyles". 

"Fashion One will give our DStv customers front row seats to the biggest international fashion shows and runways that they've become used to seeing," says Aletta Alberts, MultiChoice's head of content.

"They'll also be introduced to a rich blend of local fashion, entertainment and lifestyle shows."

Programming on Fashion One include Style Wars, Eco Fashion and Fashion on a Plate.

Fashion One will be available to subscribers on DSTV Premium, DSTV Extra, DSTV Compact, DSTVFamily and DStv Access packages that FashionTV was available on. Pretty much everyone with a DSTV subscription will get the channel.
