MultiChoice to Renumber GOtv Channels for Better Viewing Experience
The entertainment viewing platform MultiChoice, has announced that it will begin renumbering of channels on the GOtv platform, from April 19, to improve the viewing experience of its customers.
The renumbering of the GOtv channels will group similar channels together to make it easier for viewers to find and watch their favourite shows.

She noted that the improved GOtv channel numbering approach would include blocks for flagship channels, popular local channels, movies, and telenovelas.
