NEW CHANNEL ALERT!!! Sporty TV To Make It's South African Debut On eMedia Investments' Openview

eMedia Investments will be rolling out it's first new channel for Openview consumers in over 2 years.

In 2022, eMedia Investments and MultiChoice entered a carriage dispute regarding eToonz, eMovies, eMovies Extra and eExtra on DStv.
