Rewind and News And Sport went off air today with content such as Impact and EPL now on eReality while other content will be made available on the existing offering managed by eMedia Investments as well as the new channel, Xposed.
Xposed is set to go live next week Monday and eMedia Investments couldn't contain their excitement with the launch of another new channel, ePlesier.
ePlesier is basically another Rewind but dedicated mostly to the Turkish offering available on e.tv, eExtra and eVOD. Series set to launch on the channel include Voëlvry, Bittersoet, Deur Dik En Dun, Gebroke Harte.
The launch of ePlesier brings joy to Kuiertyd fans across South Africa but also creates a lot of complications amongst eMedia's portfolio.
e.tv has a large stack of Kuiertyd programs so I wouldn't be surprised if that was reduced to meet to keep ePlesier afloat and eVOD has an Afrikaans section for this content and this channel just saves consumers data and give them time to view other content.
The news of ePlesier is not as bad as it appears to be, Rewind was used to air the programs on Kuiertyd but now the channel will relaunch as Xposed which doesn't seem interested in Kuiertyd's offering so the idea of this channel doesn't seem far fetched.
MultiChoice has a set of ePlesiers available on their platform including Novela Magic, kykNET Lekker, Nicktoons, Mzansi Wethu, Pearl Magic Prime, Me and Maisha Magic POA. Point is channels like ePlesier aren't going anywhere for the near future.
Turkish shows have been in high demand in South Africa and MultiChoice opted not to include one on the platform but eMedia Investments thought ahead.
ePlesier will occupy on channel 112 from 18 April if I had to guess the focus now is on Xposed which explains the timing.
