Last year, MultiChoice and BBC Studios unveiled the general entertainment channel, BBC UKTV. It features drama series and game shows from BBC Brit alongside lifestyle and factual content from BBC Lifestyle and BBC Earth and kiddies entertainment from CBeebies.
Before it's rollout on the pay-tv platform, plans were underway for the channel to make its free-to-air debut on eMedia Investments' Openview platform. For unknown reasons, those plans fell through as the red brand and BBC Studios remain silent on the channel.
During that year, MultiChoice had conducted tests on additional channel to Media24's Via which has seen a boost in popularity following its induction back in 2015. The channel similar to the already mentioned BBC UKTV would supply existing content to more DStv customers.
Another channel which was also in development was a possible rival to 4Racing TV's Racing240, The Racing Partnership. It is described as the exclusive betting shop to which all of the owners Arena Racing's content is delivered to bookmakers.
Although no official name was given to this duplicate channel, the channel's 24 hour lineup was available to browse at the time while The Racing Partnership only had this test card pictured above.
