- MultiChoice might be adding two new catch-up channels
- BBC to close linear channels and move to an internet only digital future
- kykNET Lekker Opened To More DStv Customers For A Limited Time
- What Consumers Should Be Concerned About Regarding SABC's Yet To Be Launched Channels On DStv?
Friday, December 9, 2022
Prediction: DMAX Expands To Africa, To Launch On MultiChoice's DStv And eMedia Investments' Openview
Prediction is a statement of what you think will happen in future.
In October, Warner Bros. Discovery and SMRG announced the launch of a new free-to-air channel, Asharq Discovery. The channel is set to feature a ray of original content while as supplying archived material from the company's portfolio.
The channel will span across pop science and engineering, motoring and turbo, wildlife and nature, adventure and travel, reality and lifestyle, and crime mystery documentaries which kind of gave me an idea for another channel, DMAX.
DMAX is a well established entertainment channel by Warner Bros. Discovery which skews toward the male audience and serves as a Real Time to Discovery Channel.
eMedia Investments:
- Prediction: eToonz to get an additional channel
- Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels?
- eToonz schedule explained
- Housewives has been scrapped from e.tv's lineup
- eMedia's 4 channels to go dark on DStv
- Charlize Theron opinion over the Afrikaans language
Ever since Real Time was repositioned to not lurk so much in the shadow of TLC I kind of feel comfortable with its presence. If you don't have access to Food Network, HGTV and Investigation Discovery there's not much to complain about from my point of view.
Trust me when I say, TLC has got a lot of potential but ever since it found its Kardashian with Say Yes To Dress and 90 Days Of Everything it can be a nuisance at times.
Discovery Channel "to some extent" has learnt a lot from its female counterpart with those motor and Hill Billy shows. It's not like TLC where they can air the same show with a new coat of paint but rent a backyard and do extreme demolitions with trucks followed by Moto GP.
DStv:
- Could Russia Today be removed from the DStv platform?
- Qwest TV coming soon to Showmax
- fliekNET to make a comeback this festive season
- Why DStv Premium customers might lose out on a certain new channel?
- eMedia's 4 channels to go dark on the DStv platform
- VH1 making a comeback on DStv
DMAX introduces you to another version of Discovery Channel one which isn't obsessed with motors as they offer shows like Life Below Zero, American Chopper, Man Vs. Food, Animal Cops and Ghost Hunters.
Just like Real Time, I read this channel was repositioned in certain territories as they have some reality lows like Toddlers and Tiaras and My Big Fat Fabulous Life basically combining the format of Discovery Family and Real Time which has got me thinking.
Is it possible that channels like Discovery Family and Real Time have become obsolete to MultiChoice just think.
Openview:
- MultiChoice to rollout delayed Openview channel
- Openview to come with monthly fees by next year
- Could Openview be losing more channels in future?

When they launched CineMagic and Magic Showcase earlier this month. They mentioned trying to limit the amount of rebroadcasts seen on various packages that's why Novela Magic is being axed in South Africa and it's no secret that Discovery Family to some extent and Real Time lurk around the corner.
Discovery Family's content has been reshuffled several times and DMAX seems to have everything figured out. The only issue with Real Time is availability as there's plenty of customers who've already seen Chopped Junior and My Cat From Hell.
Which has got me thinking what if Real Time and Discovery Family were to fold under this tile DMAX with Travel Channel tagging along with some of its content on Discovery Channel as the channel has gone off unnoticed by both MultiChoice and Warner Bros. Discovery.
The scenario goes as follows
1. Discovery Family and Real Time (including Travel Channel) form DMAX which is also regarded as free-to-air and allocated on the Openview platform.
2. Several content on Travel Channel moves over to Discovery Channel such as House Hunters International and Ripley's Believe It Or Not.
3. Discovery Channel moves over to Compact as MultiChoice has been bleeding DStv customers so why not. The only loser here is Family as they lost three channels and gain one with two on Compact.

Discovery Family Ceases Transmission In France, Could Africa And The Rest Of EMEA Follow?
Earlier in the month, consumers in France were able to confirm that Discovery Family operated by the newly formed company Warner Bros. Discovery had allegedly been discontinued as of March 29, 2022 which is close to the time it launched in Africa.
Just like Africa, Discovery Family wasn't a kids channel in France and offered content already viewed on other brands. From what I heard, the only reason it launched in France was because of how successful it was in Africa.
Over the years, the channel has hit a bit of a dry spell but that's not the reason for its termination in France and very likely Africa.
According to sources, Discovery Inc. made the decision to terminate the channel as part of their merger with WarnerMedia to form Warner Bros. Discovery.
A few weeks ago, there was somewhat of a leak about this company in terms of management and TLC was folded under WarnerMedia as they're in charge of general entertainment while Discovery Inc. manages the factual and lifestyle.
Discovery Family is in general entertainment category and the only other repeat channel from the former Discovery Inc. is Real Time but that's regarded as factual and lifestyle channel.
If anything Real Time has a better shot of remaining in Africa or both could be terminated in an attempt to reduce redundancy and also there's the matter of Discovery+ which will give viewers plenty of time to binge old content.
Discovery Family and Real Time have been on opposite ends with Discovery Family being the eldest made it challenging for Real Time to gain any traction. The demise of Family actually benefits Real Time in terms of viewership.
Both brands have been sharing a batch of content particularly in the wildlife and food section so viewers won't be missing much as there's always Discovery Channel for adrenaline junkies.
Replacement for Discovery Family
In France, the content seen on the channel has since then moved to Discovery Channel, Discovery Science and Investigation Discovery. Except in Africa, Discovery Science is not on DStv and just like France they too are missing out on Animal Planet.
In 2017, MultiChoice stripped consumers of Animal Planet for the bloated Real Time so that channel is out of the equation but Discovery Science hasn't been seen on the platform.
In 2018, StarTimes replaced Discovery Science with Discovery Family until that got discontinued so could DStv perhaps do a switcheroo and perhaps extend the reach of Discovery Channel to Compact customers for the adrenaline lovers.
