Glow TV was a South African based community channel operated by Nismedia which featured various reality shows, drama series and movies from the heart of India. It was also dubbed the home of Little Bheem, Get Real With Denver Naicker and Emperor Ahsoka.
Last month, the party involved in the distribution of Glow TV announced plans to take legal action against eMedia Investments for the removal of the channel on the Openview platform while StarSat similar to DStv remains unscathed following the termination.
Unlike eMedia's 4 channels currently seen on DStv, Glow TV has no other outlet to continue supplying the lineup of content as the only other alternative StarSat which was thought to be such at the time despite having little views opted not to renew their agreement.
Glow TV is back on DStv and StarSat but as a 1 hour segment Glow TV Plus on Soweto TV airing former Glow TV soaps such as Love Or Poison and Complicated Love. Chances are this is what we might expect should the channel eventually return to Openview.
I'm not referring to the shows but basically a lot of reruns, Glow TV had originals perhaps some of it will return as short form series if not repeats as the brand is currently going through financial constraints.
Ideally, they'd probably want to air some fresh material so similar to the original content they'd likely air a lot of short form content or similar to eExtra's Guilty Pleasure lineup with Dare To Love they'll distribute a lot in such little time.
