Updated 19 July: tvN Is Working On Becoming A Permanent Channel Following It's Closure On DStv


tvN is the third pop-up channel to exit DStv following ZooMoo and Timeless Dizi Channel's exit back in June and March respectively with TLNovelas scheduled to close in August where a new program will be allocated.

tvN has put up a channel termination on the EPG informing viewers that channel will stop airing by the end of July and thanking viewers for their support. This came after the channel was extended for a month.

Even though the channel will stop airing on DStv. CJ ENM has expressed interest in bringing back it full-time with the brand unveiling a batch of programs they had hoped to show viewers but that's not happening or at least not on DStv. Could it be possible that StarTimes (StarSat) will pick it up?

MultiChoice has host several pop-ups that are permanent on StarTimes such as WarnerMedia's Toonami, Televisa's TLNovelas and SPI International's Dizi with Blue Ant Media's ZooMoo being a permanent fixture on Zuku TV.

Timeless Dizi Channel started from scratch on StarTimes when the pop-up was terminated on DStv so if tvN had to become a permanent fixture there I'd expect them go the same route thereafter new content will be added.

There's chances that the content on tvN will still be available on Showmax. The streaming service already distributes content from other parties which had a platform on DStv ranging from Adult Swim, ITV Choice and OUTtv.


Update: The channel termination banner is removed it looks like some good news is coming and it also looks like Multichoice will be relaunching some pop-up channels.
