StarSat continues on its losing streak with another channel set to go off by the end of the month but to be honest Tshwane TV has been a waste and is nothing like Soweto TV or Cape Town TV alongside its sister channel GauTV or at least from what I've seen.
As much as I wanted this channel off air for another reason, it's actually being let go due to contractual issues.
Tshwane TV managed by GauTV's parent company Zallywood Inc. was available on the StarSat and DStv platform from the early 2011/2 offering news, reality shows, educational content and other entertainment.
Over the years, community channels have tried to modernize their lineup by the means of sports and local dramas outside of your usual free-to-air or pay-tv outlets but they're those brands which seem to have lost touch of reality which is where Tshwane TV comes in.
Notice how most of the content revolves on prophets or preachers and worst part to all this with Zallywood offering two channels they took advantage of GauTV to lure more people into this trio. It wouldn't be surprising if the demise on StarSat occured on DStv at some given point.
Tshwane TV and GauTV appear to be inactive I mean the hardly updates any viewers regarding upcoming attractions and the closest partnership they've ever done is through a church. Again, would it really be shocking if these channels were to be discontinued on DStv as well?
MultiChoice has religious channels for a reason and not that community channels can't offer them but they were put there to represent their respective and promote their respective community. From what is already implied about the channels, Prophets represent the whole of Gauteng.
