Since 2011, Studio Universal owned by NBCUniversal serves as one of the core entertainment channels by the company dedicated to films either based on a genre or an actor kind of like the main channel, Universal and in between those films there's series.
For nearly a decade, Studio Universal has been taking on other existing movie channels part of which on DStv while others in various regions like M-Net Movies, TNT, FilmBox, eMovies and AMC but one thing all these brands have in common is repeats.
Sure they may not repeat the exact same movies as much the other but one thing I kind of disliked about Studio Universal happened to be duplicated e.tv offering as most of their offering was usually seen on the station months prior to their rollout.
To top it off, DreamWorks is undergoing a similar procedure with the latest content folded under eToonz as DStv consumers have to start from scratch with most of the content.
Point being made Studio Universal was kind of a push over at the time and even after their duplicate eMovies and eMovies Extra was scrapped from the DStv platform. That tendency still lives on through the Openview platform.
For those who stuck with DStv are probably trying to figure out the best alternative to kung fu KIX or the animation skewed M-Net Movies 3 & 4. The answer to that is simple, Studio Universal.
Sure TNT is there but as mentioned when TCM was phased out this channel would incorporate a bit of nostalgia so if anything it could work as an accessory or an alternative to Studio Universal but wouldn't match the standards found on eMovies.
eMovies was that portal from M-Net Movies 1 & 2 catered to low income households as they are able source movies from these channels in under 5 years while as 3 & 4 worked to a similar extent but there was still a lot more that hasn't been explored on those channels.
While M-Net Movies 3 & 4 would give you the latest instalments to Terminator, eMovies offered a selection of Marvel films and while those M-Net channels gave you animation like Uglydolls and My Little Pony: The Movie with eMovies you could get a variety of films from Pixar.
Studio Universal kind of like Universal and DreamWorks all owned by NBCUniversal are pretty much alternatives to these eChannels I mean eMedia supplies a content from their studios and the only downside would be accessibility as Studio Universal caters for the mid masses.
