Turn Ordinary Evenings Into Blockbuster Nights
Many Africans grow up learning to manage money, time, expectations, and even dreams. Bills come first and responsibilities take over, while enjoyment is often postponed indefinitely.. Over time, this habit shapes more than routines; it quietly shapes how we experience life.
Even small pleasures, like relaxing after work, follow the same rule. Ask someone how they unwind, and the answer is almost always: “I just want to watch a good movie.” But the films they really want like Hollywood blockbusters, thrillers, often seem out of reach. They assume these stories are for those who can afford premium subscriptions or foreign platforms.
So, they settle, they scroll past channels they think won’t have what they want. They stick to what feels familiar. And without realizing it, they limit themselves.
What many don’t know is that some of these movies are already available on GOtv, quietly waiting to be discovered. Here are a few shows currently airing:
Fast & Furious
Fast & Furious is more than just cars and explosions, though there’s plenty of both. At the center is Dominic Toretto, a man whose world revolves around family, loyalty, and living fast. He and his crew aren’t just street racers; they’re a tight-knit group who take risks, break rules, and push limits at every turn. Every chase and every stunt isn’t just about adrenaline, it’s about trust, about knowing the people beside you will always have your back. And that’s why, even with all the chaos, you keep coming back: for the action, sure, but also for the bonds that hold them together.
Next Three Days
When Lara is suddenly jailed for a murder she swears she didn’t commit, her world collapses and her devoted husband, John, faces a choice no one should have to make. Determined to free the woman he loves, John hatches a daring, high-stakes plan to challenge the law itself. Tension builds with every calculated move, each moment more suspenseful than the last, as love, desperation, and courage collide in a race against time. Will he succeed, or will the price of loyalty be too high?
Who Am I
Benjamin, a brilliant but anonymous hacker, starts out for fun, small-scale digital tricks and clever intrusions. But as his exploits grow bolder, he draws the attention of powerful authorities and dangerous criminal forces. Caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse, Benjamin must outsmart those hunting him while navigating a world where trust is rare, and identities are never what they seem.

“Wait… this song has a video?”
It’s a moment most of us know too well. You’re watching TV without a plan, just letting it play in the background, when a song you’ve loved forever comes on. You know it by heart. You’ve played it on repeat, attached memories to it, maybe even grown with it. Then suddenly, you pause because there it is. A music video. And for a second, you’re genuinely surprised. Not because the song is new, but because you never knew it had a visual world attached to it.
Truth is, a lot of us experience music only through sound. We stream songs, save them to playlists, play them during our quiet moments or loud ones, and move on. Music videos aren’t always part of the journey. Sometimes they don’t pop up on our feeds and sometimes we don’t even think to look for them. So when we finally stumble on one, it feels like discovering something that’s been hiding in plain sight.
Here are a few music channels you won’t want to miss:
Hip TV (Ch 22)
Hip TV isn’t just about playing music videos; it’s a deep dive into the world of artists and their craft. Shows like Top Notch take you beyond the music, giving you the chance to really know the people behind the songs. You’ll discover the stories that inspire their hits, see candid interviews that reveal their personalities, and catch behind-the-scenes moments that make the music feel more personal. Whether it’s learning how a song was made, watching an exclusive performance, or following an artist’s journey, Hip TV turns music into a full experience you can see and feel.
Soundcity (Ch 21)
Soundcity brings the energy of live music right into your living room. From electrifying stage performances to intimate interviews, the channel gives you access to moments fans rarely get to see. Behind-the-scenes footage shows the preparation, the rehearsals, and the artistry that goes into creating the hits you love. It’s the kind of channel that makes you feel like you’re part of the music scene itself, witnessing the excitement, the struggles, and the triumphs of the artists who shape your playlists.
Trace Naija (Ch 46)
If discovering fresh, homegrown talent excites you, Trace Naija is where you’ll want to spend your time. The channel highlights rising stars, introduces the songs that are making waves locally, and puts the music you already love into context. You get to follow new artists as they carve their path in the industry, watch their music videos debut, and feel the growth of Nigeria’s music scene in real time.

In Celebration of International Women’s Month, CANAL+ and MultiChoice celebrate African women
March 6, 2026 – Nigeria
Across Africa and beyond, women continue to shape and elevate the stories that define our societies. In celebration of International Women’s Month, CANAL+ pays tribute to the storytellers, athletes, mothers, creators, leaders and icons whose voices inspire millions of households across the continent.
The African entertainment industry is driven by women, actresses, directors, screenwriters and producers who bring depth and authenticity to every production. From captivating telenovelas and popular comedies to powerful drama series, female talent remains at the heart of the stories most loved by viewers on CANAL+ Group of channels. In sport, women redefine competition and excellence – on the field, behind the mic or in leadership. From football to tennis and athletics, women in sport don’t just participate, they elevate the game and inspire the next generation.
CANAL+ and its subsidiary MultiChoice have chosen to celebrate them through a dedicated campaign: “We are… because she is.” A 90-second spot, produced in both French and English versions, will be broadcast on the Group’s channels and social media platforms in more than 35 countries across Africa.
Throughout International Women’s Month, DStv and GOtv will spotlight female‑led films, series, reality shows and global cultural moments that reflect the brilliance and complexity of modern womanhood.
Weddings have always held a special place in African culture. They are more than ceremonies, they are declarations of love, family, identity, and tradition. From the vibrant colours of aso-ebi to the rhythmic sounds of live bands and the emotional exchange of vows, weddings represent a moment of cultural heritage.
In recent years, weddings have gone beyond physical venues. What was once an exclusive gathering for family and friends has transformed into a shared experience for wider audiences. Social media first opened the door, allowing guests and admirers to witness love stories in real time through Instagram posts, TikTok highlights, and YouTube recaps.
And now, television platforms are taking this even further, giving weddings a new kind of permanence and reach.
High-profile weddings, like the widely celebrated union of Adeyemi Idowu popularly known as Yhemolee (Olowo Eko) and his wife Oyindamola, fondly known as ThayourB, captured massive public attention. Moments from their wedding became a live shared experience on television (GOtv & DStv).
From the high fashion statements to the emotional highlights, viewers were able to feel part of something bigger, a reminder that weddings inspire not just both families but entire communities.
This shift reflects a broader reality: weddings today are content. They inspire conversations about fashion, relationships, lifestyle, and aspiration. They preserve memories in ways previous generations could only imagine. For Gen Z couples, their wedding is no longer just a day, it becomes a story that can be revisited, celebrated, and even inspire others planning their own journey to forever.
Broadcast platforms like GOtv are playing a meaningful role in this transformation. By bringing wedding-related content directly into homes, GOtv is helping audiences experience these moments not just through social media snippets but in real time.
One of the most notable offerings is Channel 105, The Wedding Channel Africa’s first 24-hour wedding channel, available on GOtv. The channel is fully dedicated to African weddings, lifestyle, and bridal fashion, showcasing everything from dream ceremonies to the realities of married life. Programs like Wedding Police and Wedding on a Budget and shows like 5 Years Later, offer a deeper look into marriage itself, reminding viewers that weddings are just the beginning of a lifelong journey.
GOtv is preserving culture, celebrating love, and inspiring future couples with this channel. It allows viewers to witness traditions from different regions, discover new ideas, and feel connected to moments that might otherwise remain private.
With platforms like GOtv, stories continue to live on screens across Africa, where love, culture, and celebration can be experienced by all.
