Earlier this year, I did a recap on SABC Children which is one of SABC's purposed channels for DTT which never came to light due to the poor management and the delayed switchover from analogue to digital television.
From what I remember, the channel is available as a digital channel on the Tuluntulu app alongside SABC Education which was there long before it was made available on DTT and TelkomOne.
Now there's a slight possibility that maybe the SABC plans to launch SABC Children which would serve as a complimentary channel to SABC Education as opposed to a rival.
Funny thing here is, SABC Entertainment might have been scrapped with SABC Encore still onboard which is probably for the best since they'd likely be following the MTV 80s and 90s brand which aired content from different timelines.
SABC Children joins SABC Parliament and SABC Encore as possible new channels from the SABC. Other channels SABC purposed in 2012 but never got the light of day include SABC Movies, SABC Health, SABC Music, SABC History, SABC 4 and SABC 5.
The odd thing about this is Go Digital SA has seemingly removed eMedia Investments set of channels ranging eMovies, eExtra and eToonz from the LyngSat area with e.tv being the sole channel there at the moment.
My estimated guess would be that SABC is cutting back on the expenses so they'll be adding their own channels to serve as placeholders for each brand.
SABC Children is probably replacing eToonz with SABC Encore replacing eExtra and SABC Movies replacing eMovies I mean it wouldn't make sense for it to be SABC Parliament.
With this in mind, it's seems very likely that the SABC plans to launch more channels as opposed to the second sports channel as well as the two long awaited entertainment channels for Openview.
