Since the introduction of eExtra's Kuiertyd, e.tv has lent the block part of its schedule to air reruns of various telenovelas accompanied by the 17:30 slot which serves up new content to compliment the existing offering on the channel.
Earlier in the year, Rewind was scrapped or at least that's what they want everyone to believe as they rolled out a standalone Kuiertyd channel known as ePlesier which serves an additional outlet for repeats instead of helping to reduce the flow on e.tv.
Turkish programming is popular in South Africa I get it as kykNET too is joining on the antics but why put it up on 3 channels if you know 1 has mostly new than rebroadcast on top of that it's on eVOD as well. I mean wouldn't it be better to have it on less channels.
I mean repeats can be irritating especially if a broadcaster doesn't give viewers an opportunity to reminisce about a particular show and rush for its return. I do feel that e.tv should reduce the amount of Kuiertyd slots available in an attempt to get more consumers on the Openview platform.
ePlesier can be a waste I mean it's multitasking between two timelines and it doesn't have to be if only e.tv could cutback on amount of Kuiertyd during the week instead of duplicating the format seen with Mzansi Magic's channels.
Unlike DStv, Openview consumers aren't divided as it's singular or at least until Openview+ launches later in 2023 only then can pigs fly.
As of right now, I do feel perhaps merging the 8:30 slot with the 10:30 wouldn't be a bad idea as Kuiertyd is very much successful and the reduction would be another way to get more consumers latched onto the Openview platform as opposed to waiting on the bulk of content.
But if this is format is making them income who am I to oppose the choices a broadcaster makes. Cable is becoming obsolete and this is one of the few examples. Honestly, I'm more safer watching anything eExtra can dish out these days as opposed to zombify a schedule.
