Channel Moves. Primetime On eExtra's Kuiertyd Moves Up Almost An Hour Early With Jeyran

Recommended

Last month, it was reported that eMedia Investments had scooped up rights to more foreign shows outside of Istanbul with Jeyran.  Currently streaming on eVOD, the series is slated to air on eExtra daily at 16:15 from Wednesday 24 July. 

This would prove my hypothesis regarding eMedia's increased local investment toward eExtra following inclusions of Annekan Die Swa Kry and Kelders Van Geheime. eMedia Investments is likely positioning eExtra as their KykNET channel.

After SABC had further reduced its local efforts following cancellation of 7de Laan and move of Afrikaans content on SABC 3. eExtra had seen a demand in their offering which led to inclusions of European drama Sommerdahl Moorde and local rugby show BÔll And Ôll.

The downside as some have seen the Asian offering had been axed unless similar to the latter eMedia Investments is looking to dub those as well for eExtra's Kuiertyd or the eVOD streaming service.
