Sundance TV launched in 2017 on DStv as a replacement channel for AMC. The only reason the channel existed was due to Fear The Walking Dead other than that there's pretty much nothing interesting on that channel it's basically another saturated TCM.
There's no details as yet on why these channels are getting scrapped it could have something to do with the pandemic as rumored for sometime that DStv is cutting back on costs. These channels were probably the first batch of channels set to go dark on the platform.
No replacements will be issued for these channels by the looks of it for those who watched Sundance they're being redirected to other movie channels, those with Encore will probably have to go back to SABC 1-3 and ITV Choice being BBC, M-Net and Universal. More channels will be added just not as placeholders for these channels.
