“Fans of Empire are definitely in for a treat – Taraji P Henson has been a fan favourite with South African audiences from the first season.”
“During the FOX two-week open window special earlier this year, we received an overwhelming response from our DStv Compact customers who enjoyed the FOX channel line-up,” says Aletta Alberts, MultiChoice’s general manager for content.
“We believe that the full-time addition of FOX with its excellent programming will enhance the entertainment experience of our Compact customers.”
To coincide with the star’s visit, FOX is rebroadcasting the second season of Empire with double episodes over weekends from 4 June.
