M-Net Movies: Pop-Up Channel Dedicated To Incredible Women In March


Don't be blinded by their beauty. They are smart, strong, certainly not to be messed with. These are the leading action ladies that will command your screens when M-Net launches its pop-up channel dedicated to the powerful women in action movies in March.

Dubbed the M-Net Movies Pretty Deadly Pop-up Channel starring Leading Ladies of Action, this thrilling pop-up channel, which will be available to DStv Premium customers, will air on DStv Channel 111 from Friday, 19 March, at 8:30am and end on Sunday, 4 April, at midnight.

The launch of the channel coincides with the celebration of women's contributions throughout history and in contemporary society, as March is proclaimed Women's History Month.

“The action movie genre has traditionally been dominated by men. But progress has been made over the years, as more and more women are now at the forefront of their own action films, and we love to see that at M-Net. That's why we've brought together the best action movie heroines on a dedicated channel to celebrate them,” says Managing Director, MultiChoice Ghana, Cecil Sunkwa Mills.  “For two weeks, viewers can look forward to watching amazing women take the characters of assassins to superheroes, and kick, punch, and shoot their way out of obstacles.”

The pop-up channel consists of an incredible collection of heroine action movies that pack a punch. Among the gems are the most acclaimed butt-kicking films. These include Brie Larson's Captain Marvel, Scarlett Johansson's Lucy, Zoe Saldana's Colombiana, and Angelina Jolie's Salt.

The channel will run from late morning to midnight every day. Also, the movies are scheduled according to themes at peak times.

On Friday’s, we celebrate the pretty deadly women who are well-trained assassins and undercover agents. Don’t miss out on Charlie’s Angels, Colombiana and Anna on the day of the launch.

On Saturdays, we shine our spotlight on the Sheroes. They are the super-powered women who put their life on the line to save the world, as well as the brave ordinary women who will do everything they can to protect their families and find justice for their loved ones. Some of the movies that viewers can expect are Captain Marvel, Alita: Battle Angel, Catwoman, Kidnap, Break In, and The Hunger Games.

Then, on Sunday’s, viewers will see Charlize Theron measure against Angelina Jolie.

Other themes to watch for are:

  • Fantasy on Mondays;
  • Heroes and crime on Tuesdays;
  • Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy on Wednesdays;
  • and Survival/Sci-fi on Thursdays.

All movies on the pop-up channel will be made available on DStv Catch Up until Tuesday, 4 May.

No 'Shower Hour' On Big Brother Naija - Says MultiChoice

As preparations are in top gear for the second edition of social reality TV show, Big Brother Nigeria, organisers have revealed that there will be no broadcast of nude footage called ‘Shower Hour’, when the show returns on January 22, 2017. This comes to some fans as ‘decent’, following the controversies generated by that segment of the show, during the now rested continental edition, Big Brother Africa (BBA). MultiChoice is bringing back the Nigerian version of the series after 10 years. It had announced after the last edition of BBA that each African country will stage the show henceforth. Renamed Big Brother Naija, the show will have 12 housemates who will compete for the prize of N25 million and a brand new KIA Sorento car. Sponsored by PayPorte, the program will run for 78 days, starting 22 January 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised launch and end on 9 April 2017 with a two-hour, live, televised finale.
