Development Alert: People's Weather To Become People's Planet From 1st July On Openview

After being known as a weather service throughout its existence, People's Weather will dumping the iconic trademark for ⁰something more earthly known as People's Planet. The channel is set to go live on Openview channel 115 from the 1st of July.

People's Planet is described as the definitive destination for nature, adventure, eco sport, wildlife, science and sustainability enthusiasts. It will basically be rivaling with BBC Earth, National Geographic and Curiosity Channel all of which are on MultiChoice's DStv. 

Details of the content have yet to be announced but if we had to guess SafariLIVE will be on People's Planet alongside most content from People's Weather. Any weather related shows like Today's WX and Waking Up With Nature will likely fall out of the schedule. 

Despite People's Planet distancing themselves from anything weather related on Openview. People's Weather will continue as an online service and if anything will likely appear on People's Planet for promotional purposes. 

The news of People's Planet comes months after the channel was axed on MultiChoice's DStv. It joined over 11 channels to have exited the platform in under 4 months including SafariLIVE's parent company WildEarth, Ginx TV and B4U Movies.
