MultiChoice that content doing rounds on social media bearing the Cartoon Network (CN) banner was not produced by the entertainment firm, which is known for producing children programmes.
Pay-TV firm MultiChoice, which owns the DStv brand, has distanced itself from lewd content claimed to feature on its Cartoon Network content.
MultiChoice Africa said in a statement that content doing rounds on social media bearing the Cartoon Network (CN) banner was not produced by the entertainment firm, which is known for producing children programmes.
MultiChoice was responding to concerned customers who sought clarification on the issue after a picture of a TV station running lewd material bearing the CN banner surfaced online.
“We are aware of the justified concern of some of our African viewers regarding what purportedly shows inappropriate content on Cartoon Network. We can confirm that these images are not authentic and have never been broadcasted on any official Cartoon Network platforms in Africa,” MultiChoice said in a statement.
“The fake images on social media were not produced by Cartoon Network, and are in no way representative of our goal to provide suitable, age-appropriate entertainment for African children and families.”
