ESPN Returning To DStv?

-
There's rumors surfacing that the ESPN will make a comeback to DStv after being scrapped from the platform and Africa back in 2013.

ESPN (originally an initialism for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is an American multinational basic cable sports channel owned by ESPN Inc., owned jointly by The Walt Disney Company (80%) and Hearst Communications (20%). The channel can also be found on StarSat in South Africa and StarTimes in the rest of Africa.

ESPN broadcasts also airs a variety of sports highlight, talk, and documentary- styled shows including: F1, NRL, Olympics, MMA, NBA G League, Tennis, esports, Cycling, and more.
According to one viewer, they saw an ad  stating that ESPN will launch on channel 218 with ESPN 2 launching on channel 219. When it comes to packages my guess would be ESPN will be made available on Compact+, Compact or Family with ESPN 2 being Access and if it's still an option Easyview.

Why Openview Consumers Are Now Able To Watch Games Exclusive To SuperSport And DStv?

A few years ago, SuperSport which serves as one of the largest sports broadcasters in Africa offering a wide range of sports ranging from football, rugby, tennis, boxing and wrestling formalised an agreement with the SABC for Betway Premiership. Initially, these games could have been viewed on rival broadcasters like Openview alongside SABC:s DTT. In recent years, SuperSport decided to add some restrictions to these agreements when licensing them to the SABC that included blocking transmission from being received to Openview consumers.
