Vuzu was a South African youth-oriented television channel produced by M-Net for sister pay television platform DStv.
The channel launched on 1 August 2003 as "go", as a competitor to MTV.
In March 2009, it was announced that the channel would be rebranded as Vuzu on 1 July 2009, tying into an attempted social network of the same name.[1] [2] The network also switched its programming schedule and discontinued some shows, to the complaint of some viewers. In 2014, a companion channel, Vuzu Amp, replaced M-Net Series, which took its current name of 1Magic on 29 January 2018 with a more localized schedule.
Vuzu's schedule changed at the start of September 2018, along with its logo, focusing on more high-profile American sitcoms and dramas, with some local content.[3]
On 1 October 2021, it was announced that Vuzu will close on 1 November 2021. Its programming moved to the channel space of M-Net City, which likewise took on the new name Me.[4] However the network actually closed two days early, at the end of 29 October 2021.
