BBC World News is the 1st victim from the eMedia platform to get the chop on OpenView without no explanation from e.tv or better yet any notice for their loyal viewers.
BBC World News lasted about two years and 7 months on the OpenView platform with the cheap France24 taking up it's space on channel 121.
France 24 is a French state-owned international news television network based in Paris. Its channels broadcast in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish and are aimed at the overseas market, similar to BBC World News, DW, RT and TRT World.
The channel ran as a programming block on e.tv News and Sports channels before becoming a full-length channel on the platform unexpectedly.
There's no reason behind the sudden removal of BBC World News. It's more likely due to costs and with the pandemic around a lot of businesses have been cutting back so this might be one of them.
OpenView now joins DStv which suffered a lot of cutbacks in the year so far only the Starsat platform is left to fill the effects of the pandemic at the moment they are on a channel spree.
