Openview To Broadcast The English Premiere League In South Africa On Its Newly Established "News And Sports" Channel

Openview has expanded its content offering to include sports with the introduction of live English Premier League matches.

The free satellite service provider will broadcast the Premier League on its newly established NewsandSports channel.
The first live match will be broadcast on Saturday 10 August and coverage will run until the end of the football season.

Openview will broadcast one live match every week, which will include one of the top six Premier League clubs – Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, or Tottenham Hotspur
Together with the live matches, eMedia Investments – the owner of e.tv, eNCA and Openview – has acquired the rights to schedule other football-related magazine programmes that are produced by the Premier League.

“This is a momentous addition for us, and for the free-to-air television-watching public,” said COO of eMedia Investments, Antonio Lee.

“A leading brand of sport continues in the free-to-air domain and we, at OpenView, are excited to host it.”

Lee added that “eMedia will add its very own touch to this broadcast, and hopefully in time, will be able to add more sports offerings on to our bouquet.”

eMedia News Channels Undergo Exciting Brand Refresh

South African media group eMedia Investments is relaunching its free-to-air news offerings. From Monday 5 August 2019, eNews 8PM and the satellite tv platform's OpenNews, will be repositioning and merging under the banner called e.tv News.

Openview viewers can watch e.tv News from 4:00PM-7:30PM Monday to Friday on Channel 120, while our e.tv viewers can catchup on their latest news at 1:00PM and 8.00PM Weekdays.

Speaking ahead of the channel's brand refresh, OpenNews Managing Director Nisa Allie said, "2019 marks the 21st anniversary of e.tv being South Africa's independent, commercial, free-to-air tv station and we are delighted about OpenNews becoming e.tv news. The decision comes from our desire to be more closely aligned to the e.tv brand. We were born of e.tv and its commitment to provide free, reliable, independent news." expressed Nisa

"Good Journalism and the desire to tell South Africa's story is at the heart of e.tv news and we are really excited to bring seasoned journalist, Annika Larsen onboard. She is a trusted value and a familiar face to the e.tv audience." Allie concluded.

The lineup will also bring Naledi Maleo and Kokesto Sachane.

OpenNews was launched on the Openview platform in late 2018.
