We Are Toonz: Could DBE TV Be The Next Channel To Go Off Air On Openview?


Openview recently put up a new advert where you can see them promote their set of channels but interesting enough on their kids segment We Are Toonz adds Takalani Sesame to the offering.

Takalani Sesame is a product of the SABC and Sesame Workshop which broadcasts on SABC 1-3 but why is this show present while others were ignored?

SABC 1-3 is available under a must-carry clause while SABC Sport serves as an additional channel so it made sense to promote their sports offering.

Takalani Sesame does form part of a division for SABC Education which operates a 24 hour channel through DTT and TelkomOne. Is it possible that SABC Education will find it's way onto Openview likely as a replacement for DBE TV?

Through this advert, Openview lists every other channel except DBE TV from what was mentioned during the launch was that it's a pop-up channel which should have ended last year but didn't for some apparent reason.


SABC Education does offer similar content to DBE TV with the likes of Geleza Nathi assisting Grade 10-12 and Words And Numbers catered towards Grade 1-3.

SABC stated earlier this year they'd be rolling out two entertainment channels which usually consists of viewers aged 18-49 and SABC Education recently adjusted their schedule and now include religious and gospel shows which appeal to that audience.

SABC Children which hasn't been finalized as yet could potentially be the replacement if DBE TV goes off air since both channels cater toward the same audience.
