Vuzu (stylized as VUZU) is a South African youth-oriented television channel produced by M-Net for sister pay television platform DStv.
History
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. 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 localised schedule.
Vuzu's schedule changed at the start of September 2018, along with its logo, focusing on more high-profiled American sitcoms and dramas, with some local content.
On 1 October 2021, it was announced that Vuzu will close on 1 November 2021. Its programming will move to the channel space of M-Net City, which will be rebranded itself as "ME".[1]
