Prediction: A statement of what you think will happen in the future.
Glow TV is a South African based entertainment channel owned by Nismedia that is home to a variety of content that promotes the Indian community including a range of series, movies and variety shows.
Over the years, the likes of Zee World and Zee One from Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Star Life from Disney Star have been edging out Glow TV resulting in them losing out on content like Forbidden Love and also funneling primetime with rebroadcasts.
It could have been what resulted in the brand's demise on the DStv platform with the brand clinging onto its remaining audiences on both Openview and StarSat.
Everyday Novelas:
- The Rebel Princess coming soon to eExtra
- Carmen And Razia Sultan coming soon to Zee One and Zee World
- Laxmi and more content awaiting launch on Star Life
- Daai Crazy Somer coming soon to e.tv
- The history of Star Life
- Glow TV could be on the chopping block
Sources close to Glow TV had mentioned most of the brand's audience reside on the Openview platform meaning that they don't have much impact on StarSat with the pay platform being viewed as less of an alternative and more of a trainwreck.
With the channel remaining onboard for a few more months one has to wonder what awaits for them in the years to come. But if I had to view it's future on Openview it seems very dark from the looks of it.
Nismedia, the owners of the channel had to go through court to get Glow TV reinstated I mean would eMedia have realised their error without involving the legal system. Didn't MultiChoice replace the channel with Star Life a few years prior to when Zee One did the same on Openview.
Openview:
- BBC Studios to launch new channel on the Openview platform
- Openview to come with monthly fees by next year
- Could Openview be losing more channels in future?
- SABC 1 title card has been registered for customers
- MultiChoice attempting to replicate eExtra's Kuiertyd with kykNET
- eMovies and eMovies Extra receive their first competitors on DStv Easyview
eMedia Investments received plenty of backlash and if the channel weren't fortunate to remain a couple more months viewers would have probably adjusted to its absence as seen with MultiChoice.
eBella was added onto Openview and DStv ahead of the rollout of Star Life and honestly the idea of eMedia launching something similar to the defunct brand to make amends for the removal of Glow TV wouldn't be far fetched.
I mean Kuiertyd has a dedicated channel so why can't the bulk of Zee World content get a channel of its own as if eExtra and Zee One don't already exist. It's as if Nismedia's suggestion over Zee TV's dominance becomes more transparent as years pass by.
My idea is for this channel is that it takes a similar form to most eMedia channels. Resumes at a particular timeslot, leverage various content from eExtra on top of distributing their own lineup of content and hopefully reduce the amount of Zee TV from the other station.
