Since then, viewers of these brands had to resort to Universal TV, Comedy Central and Bravo to get access to The Real Housewives alongside older seasons of Chicago P.D. and The Equaliser.
The problem part to this rearrangement dealt with the fact that M-Net curated local content like My Kitchen Rules SA and Summertide. With the closure of Me, this offering wasn't being allocated on Mzansi Magic as seen with Showmax's Youngins.
It had even been speculated that Compact+ and Compact's decline in subscribers stemmed from the closures of these brands. While it doesn't seem like MultiChoice or Canal+ could launch something along the lines of Me in a near term.
It seems like under Canal+, they have begun reintroducing these shows or at least to KykNET starting with American drama, Landman.
After KykNET & Kie decided to ramp up international telenovelas similar to what eMedia Investments had been doing for their linear platforms. The brand appears to be broadening this lineup with Landman.
It's likely that more dramas will receive the same treatment as Landman or in this case Summertide, Recipe For Love And Murder and King & Conqueror.
Based in France, Canal+ had been dubbing shows distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney and Paramount in that market. There's no reason to doubt that a similar outcome is awaiting DStv consumers in Southern Africa.
