Removal of Animal Planet Channel on DSTV Compact

We have in the past week noticed that Multichoice has removed the Animal Planet channel from DSTV Compact package. No notification in terms of this was provided, and yet this is a channel we have had since starting with Compact package, and a channel my children watch daily.<br> <br> We still pay the same subscription (which increases annually), but with a regular channel now missing!!<br> <br> When phoning in now, we were not given a acceptable answer and said our call would be escalated. Will see how long that takes based on feedback from numerous other complaints here.<br> <br> Seriously??!!!<br> <br>
