Days Of Our Lives will be airing for 6 days next month as eMedia Investments chose not to renew their contract with the suppliers of this CBS drama similar to SABC's move with Bold And The Beautiful its survival of the fittest.
Remember a few years back, the public broadcaster opted to localise their offering only for it to tank or at least on SABC 2 & 3 department well you can actually see where the corrupt Hlaudi was getting at.
Several international companies such as The Walt Disney Company, Paramount, NBCUniversal and WarnerMedia plan to rollout streaming services in South Africa by the near future and for many decades their count was viewed on e.tv and DStv, as seen with some outlets they're taking back their content.

This wasn't the case for Days Of Our Lives, eMedia Investments made the call to have it extinguished as repeats of Imbewu and Isono will occupy the timeslot as e.tv hasn't repeated anything in the 8:30pm timeslot.
Questions amount on how The Black Door and possibly Imbewu will be slotted in the weekend. During that time, four other dramas have an omnibus so where does that leave these two if I had to guess Craze and the weekend afternoon movies.
These changes may seem hazardous but you can clearly see their motive for all this - streaming. They want to have clear certainty that the brand will be around for the foreseeable future and not end up like Bop TV where the only thing consumers acknowledged was what other companies offered.
