Why put Zee World on DStv Access?

MultiChoice has announced the terminations of eExtra, eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz and of course DreamWorks Channel and a second movie channel are the only confirmed additions to DStv while the other replacements consist of what's already there such as KIX and PBS Kids.

DStv Family and Access customers are said to only get 1 channel KIX to make up for the 4 which are being removed by the end of March but there's chances that MultiChoice isn't letting viewers in on the full details.

In the midst of the announcements, MultiChoice never even mentioned that PBS Kids would be accessible to Easyview customers so if they kept that under rocks imagine what else they could be hiding.

As reported earlier, MultiChoice hasn't announced a replacement for eExtra either it's not necessary as they consider the current offering as an alternative or a replacement has been located but they're finalizing a couple of details or as seen with Easyview customers they're expanding the reach of some brands.

A portion of eExtra's lineup consists of Bollywood dramas primarily on Zee World. If Timeless Dizi Channel were to return on DStv it will likely be on packages higher than Access so the likelihood would be going for the runner up, Zee World as the channel is on Access in other regions.

StarSat adding new channels???

According to sources, the troubled pay-tv platform will be launching 5 new sports channels soon of course details of the supposed channels haven't been disclosed by either the platform or the media.

Since 2021, several international channels have since gone off air with no replacement in site as the brand promised to consumers and DreamWorks Channel being the first in 2022 will soon be added onto DStv.

These 5 sports channels seem a bit suspicious if you asked me I mean viewers are still waiting on alternatives channels to the ones that were removed from last year so what are the chances that these two will actually be additional channels and not replacements.

If these 5 can coexist with the current spprts offering what are the chances that they won't just scrap another channel from the general entertainment section. It wouldn't shock me if ESPN and the other sports channels were to be replaced by these channels.
