MultiChoice was scheduled to remove e.tv's 4 additional channels currently seen on the DStv platform earlier this month with their fate hanging on a cliff for another 2 months as MultiChoice sources more channels.
Recently, MultiChoice registered an untitled Afrikaans channel which was revealed to be an extra Via channel likely for their Access customers as all the content hits the restart button on the supposed station.
Although MultiChoice won't say anything, the idea of them pawning this brand should they remove eExtra by the end of May doesn't seem far fetched at this point.
Why this channel might replace eExtra?
In March, MultiChoice put up a termination notice redirecting viewers to several other channels currently seen on their platforms and eExtra's alternatives were Mzansi Wethu and kykNET - local channels.
Further replacements were announced but none of them were for eExtra.
kykNET and Via are kind of niche compared to eExtra as they're distributing actual local content and not dubbed soapies. At this point, most of the focus is directed at the content and not the language.
eExtra is a telenovela channel and this upcoming channel is more or less another eReality but for local programming.
