Star Life Will Bring In Two New Telenovelas: Nazar And Naamkarann

Covid-19 has affected tv channels as you already know Star Life was airing only repeats during the month of April due to the lockdown that occurred in South Africa and India with most of their plans put in jeopardy.

Since April, the channel has only been filled with repeats of Chasing My Heart, Forever Yours and The Crossroads. The channel recieved major backlash from fans and forced others to temporarily distance themselves from the channel.

Before the lockdown was implemented, Star Life was set to introduce two new Hindi telenovelas which were Nazaar and Naamkarann to the channel.

Nazaar (The Evil Eye) follows the life of an evil Daayan, who worship the mother goddesses Kali and Durga. But as a devil, she was cursed by gods and captured into the human world. Jatinder Bhardwaj and Ankur Nayyar take up the lead role with Monalisa set to follow.

Naamkaran (My Identity) is the story of an illegitimate 11 year old girl, Avni Ayesha, who tries to give herself a legitimate identity despite cruel obstacles by her own grandmother Dayawanti Mehta. Aditi Rathore and Zain Imam take up the lead role with Reema Lagoo set to follow.

Both these series were originally set to air weekdays from 21:00 CAT but now the release dates for these shows are up in the air. The only thing I can confirm is there's still plans to air the show on the channel.

StarSat Will More Likely Launch A Total Of 10 Channels, Part Of Them Are Currently Active On The Platform

New Channel Alert: NHK World Japan To Be Added On MultiChoice's DStv Platform In South Africa

MultiChoice seems to have listed another channel on their website and this time it's NHK World Japan which launched in April on DStv in neighbouring countries.

 

NHK World Japan will be launched on DStv as a new lifestyle channel. The channel, which will air on DStv channel 432/3 (yet to be confirmed) will showcase a variety of arts and culture, current affairs, dramas, documentaries, sport and much more.

ViacomCBS Media Networks Africa Discreet Deal With MultiChoice: Could MultiChoice Be Looking Into Adding Paramount Network In Place Of Another Channel On DStv?

In December of last year, MultiChoice renewed the distribution deal between Viacom International Media Networks which is now known as ViacomCBS Media Networks which will see continuation of all their channels carried on the platform including Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, MTV Base and Comedy Central.

The thing both parties left out in this extended agreement was the duration of the deal. Which led me to believe that MultiChoice or ViacomCBS is more likely looking into canning some of the channels later this year or early in 2021. The likely candidates could be MTV and Comedy Central.

Since Viacom and CBS merged early last year a lot of reconstructing has been underway which included having two managers handle seperate parts of these brands alongside aligning the channels such as CBS Reality and Justice from CBS side with MTV, BET, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon from Viacom.

CBS Reality and Justice are crafted through a partnership and listed under ViacomCBS Media Networks and AMC International so those candidates are unlikely to suffer the chop on DStv while MTV and Comedy Central both channels currently listed under one brand which is ViacomCBS Media Networks.

MTV is the name doesn't suggest is a reality channel catered to young adults aged 18 to 35 at launch it also carried music overtime it shifted to just reality and left it's sister channels MTV Base and Music24 to handle the music while Comedy Central is a comedy-based channel carry movies, series, reality shows and cartoons.

The reason I picked these two besides being ViacomCBS channels they carry a lot of repeats and old programming part of them can be seen through a single channel which isn't accessible in the market yet. Comedy Central has one local production that appears once a year other than that it's mostly repeats while most of MTV's content can be transmitted through BET and MTV Base since both channels are struggling to boost their lineup with MTV Base struggling that was struggling to gain traction in South Africa alone.

Back in 2018, ViacomCBS launched Paramount Network as a premium, general entertainment channel that carried "bold original scripted and non-scripted series" with Viacom that's moving its best shows to this channel and rolling out several brand-new scripted series and drama series on this channel which in turn led to the discontinuation of dramas folded onto MTV.

At the time ViacomCBS Africa said they will explore opportunities to build the brand in the market. After a year through an interview the former CEO he stated they are looking at ways to build the brand and how to get it into the market.

Paramount Network is available in the UK, Spain, Latin America, Sweden, Denmark and Italy and Canada. Some of these markets once carried it as a movie channel. For those living without the brand had to wait a little longer for the channel.

Paramount carries sitcoms (some from Comedy Central), reality shows, drama series, documents (some from MTV) and movies. In the UK, the channel is mostly filled with scripted series and a bit of crime based reality shows.

If Paramount Network had to launch in Africa through MultiChoice's DStv it definitely coming as a placeholder and NOT a new channel since most of the programming would be familiar with the market. If you basically do research in each territory that sources out this channel you'd find that it takes up Comedy Central's space in a few of these markets and offers a small lineup of reality shows seen on MTV particularly the talk and game shows.

Here's my theory, Paramount Network launches in South Africa to replace both MTV and Comedy Central on DStv with selected programming from these defunct channels moved to BET and MTV Base not only does it reduce the repetition on DStv but boosts these channels offering now that ViacomCBS will have less channels to all their focus and efforts on.

New Channel Alert: SABC Education Coming Soon To DStv And StarSat

As you all know SABC Encore is getting canned on DStv and SABC told a user through a media enquiry that MultiChoice had already planned to can the channel in 2018 and knew of its demise long before the public. Now another SABC channel is expected to be added on DStv really soon which will also be available on StarSat.

SABC Education, as most already know launched earlier this month. At the time viewers could only recieve the channel through DTT and online platforms and through an interview at Expresso on SABC 3 with the general manager at SABC he mentioned that they were in negotiations with pay platforms so that they can hopefully carry the channel.

Now it looks like DStv will be one of those pay platforms to carry the channel alongside StarSat. So far no release date has been issued yet on both sides but StarSat will add it on channel 313 my guess would be from 1st June around the time SABC Encore gets terminated and channel 316 could be it's channel number for DStv since some parts of Africa allocated a channel in that section.

StarSat hasn't responded to the media regarding the channel while MultiChoice is oblivious about it with regards to SABC Encore as SABC stated through an enquiry they are exploring the possibility of carrying the channel through another platform and StarSat has become that platform that usually sources reject or scrapped channels from DStv like AMC, Toonami, Glow TV just to name a few so they might add it.

SABC Education carries repeats from SABC 1-3 as well as archived content. As bad as it may sound the channel is beneficial for children's education. The good thing about these repeats, they don't have a lot of timeslots on the main SABC channels.

Sundance TV Stops Airing On DStv From June

MultiChoice doesn't stop with the surprises not only is SABC Encore and ITV Choice getting discontinued but also Sundance TV from AMC International.

Sundance TV launched in 2017 on DStv as a replacement channel for AMC. The only reason the channel existed was due to Fear The Walking Dead other than that there's pretty much nothing interesting on that channel it's basically another saturated TCM.

There's no details as yet on why these channels are getting scrapped it could have something to do with the pandemic as rumored for sometime that DStv is cutting back on costs. These channels were probably the first batch of channels set to go dark on the platform.

No replacements will be issued for these channels by the looks of it for those who watched Sundance they're being redirected to other movie channels, those with Encore will probably have to go back to SABC 1-3 and ITV Choice being BBC, M-Net and Universal. More channels will be added just not as placeholders for these channels.

Grown-Ish Coming Soon To e.tv

Created by Black-ish's Kenya Barris, the series is produced by Khalabo Ink Society, Wilmore Films, Cinema Gypsy Productions and Principalo-Young Entertainment, with Anthony Anderson, Brian Dobbins, and Helen Sugland acting as executive producers comes a series based on the eldest child of the Johnsons.

The Johnson family's firstborn daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) leaves the family to go to college. As she attends college while befriending some people, she discovers that her journey to adulthood and her departure from the family does not go the way she hoped. She will also be the narrator.

The series has spawned 3 seasons with a total of 42 episodes with a fourth season in the works.

Grownish airs Saturdays at 19:30 on e.tv from 31 May

SABC Encore Stops Airing On DStv After 5 Years

Yes, you heard correctly SABC Encore stops airing on DStv from June. The channel joins ITV Choice which is also set on DStv later in June.

SABC Encore was conceived through a 5 year agreement back in 2013 between SABC and MultiChoice. In this deal, SABC had to supply a news and entertainment channel. Both channels severed delays in their launch before they eventually launched on DStv.

SABC Encore was originally suppose to launch back in 2014 as SABC Entertainment. The channel along with SABC News were also part of DTT which is long overdue.

SABC originally plotted to launch 18 channels before downsizing their plans to 9 channels back in 2018 and Encore wasn't listed in those plans only SABC 1-3, Education and News were mentioned meaning it's possible that the SABC was planning to scrap the brand at the time another sign of its turmoil was it's Facebook account as it stopped being active early last year.

SABC went from 6 channels to just 5 again, for those who aren't aware SABC launched an educational channel through DTT platforms and online with plans to launch it on pay-tv platforms.

There's no reason yet as to why the channel is being scrapped maybe SABC and MultiChoice are cutting back on costs or MultiChoice no longer sees it viable to have it on the platform.

SABC also had another entertainment channel which outlived Encore called SABC Africa was also on DStv for at least 10 years before getting scrapped due to poor performance maybe that's the reason.

eNCA's News Segments Has Been Added To News And Sports On OpenView?

As always eMedia Investments the company that runs OpenView with its set of e.tv channels has a history of not informing the media on upcoming developments another unexpected arrival has made its way to OpenView.

News and Sports once known as OpenNews and e.tv News has added eNCA segments to the channel without any notice as eNCA 24/7 channel is available exclusively through the platform.

During the pandemic, News and Sports has run into some troubling times in both sections most of the time the channel airs Sports other than News then there came a time when they replayed old news and some foreign news segments on the channel faded away.

With sports put on hold the only active event is mainly wrestling with e.tv supplying Impact Wrestling and Xplosion alongside selected programs across their channels and SuperSport being WWE on DStv.

Recently both StarSat and OpenView acquired old Bundesliga matches which were once available on SuperSport in selected markets.

Toonami Has Been Added To Startimes Or StarSat Few Weeks After The Channel Stopped Airing On MultiChoice's DStv

As you already know DStv had Toonami running as a month long pop-up channel on the DStv platform to almost all DStv customers until the end of April even after its removal the channel still had an ongoing schedule for the rest of May.

For some reason the channel has been added to the Startimes (or StarSat) platform without any explanation or clarification from the platform on the duration of the channel or whether they plan to keep it full-time which seems unlikely.

Toonami which is owned by WarnerMedia targets the same audience as Cartoon Network the only difference is the channel is catered for superheroes. The channel carries action, drama and adventure.

The channel airs repeats of old DC Animation that once aired on Cartoon Network such as Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and Young Justice along with DC Movies.

This channel is just ripping off Superhero HQ for those of you who had DStv Compact back in March of last year at the time the channel was already ripping off the full-time Toonami channel on Kwesé TV till the brand shut down it's pay-tv service along with the full-time channel that had anime and selected Cartoon Network series at the time before being reduced to nothing but a pop-up channel.

It wouldn't surprise me if the channel eventually resurfaces again on DStv even after the channel's removal people still want the channel if it was on Compact you'd some happy faces over the channel's removal but since they made it more accessible more people grew attached to it cancelling out those that recieved the channel already under another name.

Vierspel Vuurspel Finally Makes It's Way To eExtra From June After Having To Pull It Out Of The Schedule Due To The Lockdown In South Africa Over Coronavirus Pandemic

Turkish lovers are in for a treat after having removed the show from the schedule due to the lockdown in South Africa over Coronavirus pandemic. Vierspel Vuurspel finally makes its way to eExtra after a month.

Vierspel Vuurspel (Içerde) a 2016 Turkish drama series dubbed in Afrikaans tells a story of two brothers torn from each other. Now on the opposite sides of the law, two brothers are placed against each other, unaware of their brotherhood.

Turkish telenovelas have proven to do well on eExtra after drawing up more than 400000 viewers on the channel through its Kuiertyd block. These Afrikaans dubbed Turkish shows experiment has been added to e.tv and has proven to do well amongst these channels viewers.

Not long ago e.tv acquired broadcasting rights to the Turkish series Evermore from Global Agency. No details were given on where the show will air, whether it will it be dubbed or how long viewers have to wait to see it.

Vierspel Vuurspel replaces Die Vreemdeling on June 15 at 20:55 on eExtra which is available on OpenView channel 105, DStv channel 195 and StarSat channel 489.

SABC Education: Description And Review

SABC launched their 6th long awaited channel SABC Education admist the pandemic to keep children learning through DTT, YouTube and SABC's platform.

The channel carries 21 programs currently and formerly seen on SABC 1-3 including One Day Leader S7, Inside The Baobab Tree S4, iSpani S8, Geleza Nathi S9, The Epic Hangout, Words And Numbers S8, Made In SA S5, 100% Youth S4, Hectic Nine-9 S9, Game Plan S1, Daily Thetha S2, The Magical World Of Luna Belle S3, 48 Hours S8, Xcellerate S2, Battle Of The Vs S1, Making Moves S8, It's For Life S9, TOMZ S11, Living Lands S9, Destination SA S5, Mapungubwe S1 and DBE Learning.

SABC CEO confirmed in an interview that they are negotiating with partners in regards to the addition of SABC Education for now the channel faces problems with regards to accessibility since most households can't afford to live stream lessons currently seen on the channel.

The channel's schedule format is similar to PBS Kids (DStv channel 313) except there's no animation or exclusive content - just another encore channel. The advantage is these repeats help those who missed out on an episode. Even though SABC has been overshadowed for many years, education has always been a part of the brand even though most people with pay-tv platforms moved on from SABC their programs have touched a lot of youth throughout the decade.

For those who were expecting to see series like Naruto, Ben 10 or A.N.T. Farm this is not the channel even though it's for kids they aren't educational. Before SABC had financial woes they plotted to launch 18 channels including a children (SABC Children) and an education channel (SABC Education). Judging by SABC Education this channel may be SABC's version of Mindset and since Uzalo and Skeem Saam are part of the brand it is going to be confusing on which station will air older seasons of the show since SABC Encore exists and if SABC Education is interested in adding those type of series with it being treated more like an accessory than a premium channel.
