tvN is a South Korean entertainment channel operated by CJ ENM. While its rival SBS focuses more on long form series (telenovelas) which can be viewed in South Africa on eExtra, tvN on the other hand works on short series.
tvN ran as a pop-up channel on DStv in March 2021 offering drama series such as Another Miss Oh, 100 Days My Prince, The Crowned Clown and Cheese In The Trap alongside variety shows such as Player 7 and You Quiz On The Block.
Ever since the channel went off air its media accounts primarily Facebook remain active in the hopes to become a linear service once again as the content was folded under MultiChoice's new streaming service, Showmax.
tvN started an online petition several months ago and it looks like there's an update to that as the brand asked consumers names of platforms they rely on for all their entertainment.
It could be imply two things 1) the petition worked out and MultiChoice had a change of heart 2) the petition had no effect and the brand will resurface on a rival platform.
How tvN Africa permanent feed might look?
Unlike Korea, tvN Africa ran their programs in a weekday format with some exceptions like variety shows and that will likely continue in this permanent feed. Programs formerly seen on the pop-up will likely be added to the lineup.
Last year, tvN put up a list of potential kdramas and variety shows which might join the lineup as well. tvN is not another Telemundo or Zee World which opens up the possibility of seeing more content from CJ ENM.
Aside from tvN originals, the channel had been supplying content from OCN perhaps this permanent version will see them source their offering from more brands like Mnet the music channel.
