She also revealed that most of the contents offered by the channel will now be uploaded EbonyLife ON which will be available on iOS stores and Google.
She said: “Remember when we used to wait a whole week to watch our favourite TV shows? Well, those days are gone forever! Now, we can binge on the whole series if we want to. Therefore, we have decided that EbonyLife TV will no longer be available on DStv from 31st July 2020.”
EbonyLife TV was launched by Multichoice in 2013 and operated on DSTV. The deal ended in 2018 and Mo Abudu partnered with Startimes to broadcast the channel.
If you read the first paragraph nicely the channel will no longer function as it used to. They recently signed a content deal with Netflix and with it going dark on DStv in the rest of Africa.
Apparently Ebonylife made the choice to can the channel from DStv so it's likely that StarTimes (ROA) and StarSat will follow as well since Ebonylife might transition into becoming an online platform once their contract expires.
