Timeless Dizi Channel Acquired Broadcasting Rights To Cesur Ve Güzel - Get To Learn More About eMedia's Kuiertyd Dramas

To start off 2022, SPI International thought it would be cool picking up Cesur Ve Güzel formerly seen on e.tv as Die Vreemdeling. Not saying it's bad thing as there's a handful of people who wish to view this content in English.

Cesur Alemdaroğlu (Kivanç Tatlituğ) comes back to Korludağ, a small town outside Istanbul with a mission to take revenge on Tahsin Korludağ (Tamer Levent). The only thing that he hadn't taken into account was that he would fall in love with Sühan Korludağ (Tuba Büyüküstün).

Ever since Timeless Dizi Channel ended its trial on DStv viewers had resorted to local stations. The sad part about this is accessibility as not a lot of markets are fortunate enough to view this content.

For those who choose to avoid eExtra's Turkish lineup due to language trust me when I say you're missing out. Although MultiChoice scrapped Dizi several content from the channel has since then been viewed on eExtra.

Kurt En Shura and Voëlvry are the star attractions alongside several that have been picked up by Dizi International but have not made their way to the African counterpart include Ufak Tefek Cinayetler (Stilleto Vendetta), Içerde (Vierspel Vuurspel), Kara Para Ask (Black Money Love) and now Cesur Ve Güzel (Die Vreemdeling).

If you take all this into account both brands have become predictable at this point. Expect an exchange between programming and for the one to offer programming that has yet to make its way to the other brand.

Canal+ Acquired Majority Stake In SPI International And Also Increased Their Stake In MultiChoice

CANAL+ ACQUIRES MAJORITY STAKE IN SPI INTERNATIONAL

Canal+ will acquire a 70 per cent majority stake in SPI International while keeping the current management team and operational structure in place.

SPI International, a global media company operating 42 TV channels and multiple digital products across six continents, and a major player in content distribution and broadcasting worldwide, is now joining forces with Canal+ Group.

Canal+ Group is a global pay-TV operator and major player in free-to-air television in France. Canal+ has a wide international footprint with a presence in 40 countries in Europe, Sub-Saharan Africa, and Asia.

In a joint statement, Loni Farhi & Berk Uziyel, said: “It is very exciting news and the start of a new era for SPI International. Canal+ and SPI share a common vision for continuous growth and a strong international presence. We have been strategic partners for years, where we have built a great tradition of collaborations and achieving mutual goals. Now we will have the chance to join forces under one roof. SPI will further accelerate its growth with Canal+ while leveraging natural synergies. SPI International has an amazingly talented team that has produced incredible growth in the last decade. Now, with this great team and with much enthusiasm, we are delighted to become part of the Canal+ family. Our joined forces will strengthen the existing entertainment products and expand the distribution of our compelling content to far larger audiences.”

For Maxime Saada, CEO of CANAL+ Group, added:
“The acquisition of SPI International is part of the strategy we have been implementing for several years. Canal+ currently has 22 million subscribers in over 40 countries, including 15 in Europe. We have set ourselves the goal of reaching a minimum of 30 million subscribers by 2025, and SPI INTERNATIONAL will certainly be a key asset in achieving this ambition.”

Jacques du Puy, CEO of Canal+ International said:
“We are very pleased to welcome SPI to our group.
This acquisition marks a new strategic step for the development of our European contents. It will be a great opportunity to develop new synergies and businesses for our activities, especially in the Polish market and in the Central and Eastern European countries where Canal+ operates through M7 brands.”

The completion of the transaction is subject to the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities in the territories concerned (including in particular the authorities responsible for antitrust and merger control).

MultiChoice now 15% owned by Canal+

French broadcaster Canal+ Group has increased its stake in MultiChoice from 12% to over 15%, Reuters reports.

Vivendi-owned Canal+ significantly raised its holding in Africa’s largest pay-TV last year, causing speculation that it could be looking to take over MultiChoice.

MultiChoice reportedly said it was keeping an open mind about its relationship with the company.

“The group’s policy is not to comment on its individual shareholders nor on its interactions with them,” MultiChoice said in an earlier statement.

“The company remains committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders and to create sustainable long-term shareholder value.”

Groupe Canal+ SA is a French film and TV studio and distributor which owns the Canal+ French TV channels.

These channels span movies, sports, series, and news and have produced popular films such as The Straight Story, Mulholland Dr, and Inland Empire. Groupe Canal+ has been expanding into Africa, including the acquisition of Nigerian production company ROK Studios.

Vivendi previously tried to acquire MultiChoice Africa, but the multi-million-dollar offer was rejected.

The company is now stocking up on MultiChoice shares, which industry players speculate may indicate that Canal+ is planning to acquire MultiChoice.

MultiChoice is Africa’s leading entertainment company and operates four platforms – DStv, GOtv, Showmax, and DStv Now.

It has approximately 14 million subscribers across 50 countries, with a particularly dominant position in South Africa.

MultiChoice serves Canal+ SA’s African ambitions perfectly and explains why it is investing in the company.

MultiChoice said that it had filed the required notice with the Takeover Regulation Panel in South Africa.

The Takeover Regulation Panel, which reports to the Minister of Trade and Industry, oversees the country’s takeover regulations.

Its mandate is to regulate mergers and acquisitions and protect minority shareholders by ensuring that such shareholders will have access to important information during transactions.

.

In reference to the new product, SPI's Chief Marketing Officer Haymi Behar says: “The Dizi app builds on the success of the Timeless Dizi Channel and features around 400 hours of content from an inventory of critically-acclaimed series such as Black Money Love, Kurt Seyit & Shura and Insider with new episodes added monthly. The app will feature English, Polish and Spanish localized interfaces and 13 language options and more will be added in time. The Dizi service will both enable viewers to tune into the linear channel and watch episodes on-demand through their preferred devices at their leisure.”

Could MultiChoice Be Prepping Up A Rival To Timeless Dizi Channel On StarTimes?

Aktüel Televisyonu (Actual Television often stylised as aTV) is a Turkey's most popular entertainment channel which is owned by Kaylon Group. Besides Turkey, the channel is viewable in some parts of Europe.

aTV is home to shows viewers may be familiar with through Timeless Dizi Channel such as Black Money Love (Kara Para Ask), The Red Scarf (Al Yazmalım), Karadayi, The End (Son) and Ezel.

Last year, MultiChoice rolled out three telenovela channels out of those channels only 1 didn't have any original content in this case Timeless Dizi Channel.

So maybe viewership had nothing to do with its demise but originality the second last channel in Dizi's position being Glow TV was told that they weren't performing well and MultiChoice refused to provide any stats.

Thereafter Star Life comes in with original content part of which have been viewable on Glow TV.

Perhaps the reason for MultiChoice not wanting such channels is due to streaming since most of their partners are depriving them from certain content for their own platforms and most that don't dwell on originality are likely to become obsolete as more people opt to streaming.

MultiChoice's streaming service Showmax has deals put in place for Telemundo and Zee TV for their content even went after tvN which is regarded as a pop-up channel.

With that in mind, it's possible that most of the third party channels available on DStv will likely have an agreement with Showmax put in place to distribute their content on the platform to fill the avoid Disney+, Discovery+ and Paramount+ will put on Showmax.

Update On The 3 Pop-Up Channels On DStv

MultiChoice currently has 3 pop-up channels operating on the platform with the 4th which is on StarTimes being disqualified earlier in the year. These remaining channels could be permanent additions at the same time it could be the end.

ZooMoo is calling it quits on DStv as the channel is scheduled to close by the end of June after its 3 month extension. MultiChoice has sent a channel termination notice onto viewer's screens. If they reconsider its best to place it on a much cheaper package so that it can gain more awareness.

tvN is the now the second pop-up channel to recieve an extension on DStv unlike ZooMoo it's staying for only a month. They've unveiled a bunch of shows coming to the channel the one I'd look out for next month is Memorist, Tomorrow With You, Mr. Queen and The Sixth Sense.

TLNovelas is currently the longest pop-up channel on DStv launching in September of last year with its demise scheduled for August. There's a bunch of titles to look forward to on the channel including Secrets At The Hotel and Single Dad's Club. To be honest I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it. There hasn't been a lot of new channels this year.

Dizi is safely tucked on StarTimes after its dramatic removal from DStv. The feed currently seen on StarTimes somehow got the DStv feed meaning all shows are repeats until the end of August or September giving MultiChoice enough time to pick it up. (Note that I updated the info on the link about Dizi's termination on DStv)

Updated (19/06): Will Timeless Dizi Channel Return To MultiChoice's DStv?

Timeless Dizi Channel made its debut on StarTimes (Starsat) in May 2020 and ran until the end of August at least that's what they made the media believe till while MultiChoice launched a pop-up feed of the channel later that year.

During that time, the channel managed to gain much traction with the likes of Karadayi, Black Money Love, Wings Of Love and Red Scarf.

Despite the outcome none of that managed to change it's fate on DStv while others recieved extensions it got culled exactly on its expiration date being March 31st.

What's strange about this development is that the Dizi Channel on StarTimes was kind of discontinued as well or at the Turkish feed.

MultiChoice had the English feed airing repeats from StarTimes Turkish feed so what could have happened was that they wanted to make it a permanent channel but the problem was that they weren't carrying the main feed which led to its dramatic removal even though they're being hush-hush there's signs.

Last year, MultiChoice unveiled another channel TLNovelas which can also be found on StarTimes. What's strange about this is both platforms carry the exact same channel with the exact same shows at the exact same time meaning viewers on DStv missed out on programs so why couldn't they do the same with Dizi.

It couldn't be the language as MultiChoice had no problem rolling out tvN with English subtitles so maybe the problem here was the service provider being StarTimes.

SPI International could have signed an exclusive agreement with StarTimes last year for Dizi and it was annulled before it's termination on DStv which could explain why the channel pointed the finger to them when asked why couldn't they keep it.

Perhaps them RESTARTING the channel on StarTimes was their way of saying they're tired of ordering the same meal in three different restaurants when they can order at one restaurant so MultiChoice was probably doing everyone a favour.

Maybe, they didn't want to bore viewers with repeats that are currently airing on StarTimes. By August or September, the channel would already start airing fresh content so it wouldn't be shocking if Dizi suddenly reappeared on DStv around that period.

In MultiChoice financial statements for the end of March. Dizi is currently listed alongside TLNovelas and tvN it might imply that MAYBE it isn't the end for Dizi on DStv.

StarTimes' Timeless Dizi Channel Is Getting An Upgrade, Will This Affect DStv?

Timeless Dizi Channel (TDC/Dizi) made its way to Africa in mid 2020 to StarTimes just like tvN on DStv which offers the content in their original language with English subtitles the same thing has been lurking with the one on this platform.

Eventually, a seperate version of the channel was made available on DStv with all the content dubbed in English. The odd thing here is the fact SPI International acknowledges the one on DStv even though the one on StarTimes is ahead with the programming.

Dizi Africa has a website and a social media handle dedicated to the one on DStv perhaps they're looking at the bigger investor which is what led to the decision in the first place.

Now StarTimes TDC will be adding an English audio to the channel very soon which is what DStv had from the very beginning. If the one on DStv included the original language with English subtitles is there a reason for these two cable providers to still provide alternate versions of the same channel.

There is a slight possibility that the feed on StarTimes will be discontinued or aligned/submerged with DStv depending on whether all the content there is available in English and the fact that DStv version is acknowledged as mentioned earlier. For some channels which have this feature only selected content will be excluded so we basically have to see what transpires from this point forward.

ZooMoo Has Been Extended On DStv + Other Controversies Regarding The Current Pop-Up Channels

Back in August 2020, MultiChoice previewed 4 pop-up channels + 1 full-time channel which were TLNovelas (Mexican telenovelas, September), TDC (Turkish telenovelas, November), tvN (K-dramas, November) and ZooMoo (preschoolers, November) + KIX (Action movie channel, October).

All were suppose to launch within that year but for some reason tvN didn't make the deadline. They only popped up a year later through a Facebook post without any explanation from them or MultiChoice on why they didn't fill the end of their bargain.

Maybe MultiChoice wanted to put more focus towards TDC since they were gonna launch together. They couldn't do December since less people will be glued to their screens, January everyone is up in arms, February was occupied leaving March open.

tvN is the first channel that doesn't offer a ton of dubbed programming for English viewers. Will we ever know why this one is unscathed while others are put out of their misery.

TLNovelas has the longest promotional period amongst all of them. Ever since it's launch there's been technical difficulties (in South Africa) for which DStv is seemingly taking a while to resolve and this will just leave the channel without potential consumers.

ZooMoo which was suppose to end in March 2021 alongside TDC has been extended until June which is the same time tvN promotional run ends. It's obvious MultiChoice doesn't monitor performances entirely through viewership.

Timeless Dizi Channel (TDC) makes a ton of last minute changes which doesn't reflect their schedule. They went from using an outdated schedule to airing marathons without notice. Imagine, recording an episode only to realise this issue exists. This channel is set to close by the end of March.

In the end, ZooMoo is the only channel that hasn't stirred up problems for viewers.

Black Money Love Is Back On Another Station

If you're reading then you guessed correctly, Black Money Love returns to Africa once again. The show made its debut on FOX Life (discontinued), eExtra, Novelas E Plus and now Timeless Dizi Channel. You must have a high level of tolerance if you're able to rewatch this whole story again.

Black Money Love (Kara Para Ask), follows the life of Omer (Engin Akyurek) and Elif (Tuba Buyukustun) whose destinies cross after a death of their loved ones. They team up to track down the killer and meet a man who knows their secrets and is one step ahead of them.

Since it's debut back in 2014, the show won 19 awards with 6 of them going to the lead actor and 5 going to the lead actress.

The show's debut shouldn't surprise the media after all SPI International mentioned at their upfront last year and all markets that have this channel will likely get the same content at different times. So other shows that still have yet to air is 20 Minutes, Five Brothers, The End and The 8th Day.

There could be a movie block like a file stated perhaps after the trail period ends on DStv or when the channel manages to rollout enough content.

You can catch this "new" show on Monday 7 December at 19:00 CAT/18:00 WAT/20:00 EAT

Timeless Dizi Channel (TDC) is available on DStv and StarTimes (or Starsat)

StarTimes/Starsat Is Reportedly Scrapping All The Channels From SPI International

At this point in time I can also consider it a rumour but who wouldn't believe such a story like StarTimes lost the Disney Channels due to commercial issues while by blamed it on signal interruptions.

Now the next batch of channels which are said to go dark on the platform are channels from SPI International.

SPI International supplied channels like Filmbox (Channel 188), TDC (Channel 141), TDC (Channel 141), Gametoon (Channel 151) and FashionBox (Channel 282) now all of that is set to get chopped on Starsat (SA only) and StarTimes (ROA) by the end of August.

To make it more humiliating Starsat or StarTimes and SPI International are even running a competition for one of these channels like really.

Neither one of the informed the public beforehand over the status of these channels only through messaging subscribers. When a viewer wanted clarity over these channels about they all they said was "we'll make an announcement soon".

There's a reason behind this removal, it's one thing to lose channels but it's another if it all comes from one place.

Maybe the pandemic has something to do with it. SPI International may be reviewing their portfolio in this market which I doubt or StarTimes got into a fight with them which led to the removal pretty much it's kind of a mystery at this point. Either way these channels are going dark later this month.

The day they make the announcement don't be surprised if they don't have an actual reason for the chop. They now join DStv and OpenView in channel losses as time goes by you have to wonder how long these platforms will keep calm as there's less new content available in the world.

Could Timeless Drama Channel Be The Reason FOX Life Africa Scrapped Turkish Telenovelas For Mexican Telenovelas

Just as you thought the Disney owned channel FOX Life couldn't shock you any further they just did. By introducing four new telenovelas to customers across Africa.

The bad part about this is most of Africa excluding Southern Africa have seen all these telenovelas through their local stations or through StarTimes/StarTimes even the Turkish soap operas that came on this channel at launch were also repeats from various other African markets.

When news spread over these new telenovelas, FOX Life recieved mixed reactions from viewers demanding answers on the fate of Turkish telenovelas they left on a cliffhanger since during the redundant channel 3 years they've only been repeating past seasons of these shows without airing new seasons.

It's possible that Turkish programming has been scrapped entirely for this station so the likelihood is that it has something to do with the long-awaited channel Timeless Drama Channel (TDC).

The Turkish channel announced back in 2018 which is set to launch in South Africa as mentioned in SPI International website even though no official launch date has been revealed it's possible that the channel will debut within 2 years in this market.

While viewers had to wait for the channel FOX Life offered this lineup for a short while and constantly repeated the programs with no additional programs. Back in October 2019, they scrapped these telenovelas from their lineup only to revive the lineup with the same hot mess later in March of 2020.

Now they scrap it and silently added for Mexican telenovelas from a Disney inspired company Televisa. For a channel like FOX Life the name doesn't suit the channel you're better off changing it into FOX Drama(tic).

Timeless Drama Channel is set to launch in South Africa with a ranch of telenovelas and movies both of which will be viewable in HD. If you're living in South Africa you can find Turkish programming dubbed in Afrikaans through e.tv and eExtra.

South Africa Won't Get Timeless Drama Channel Until 2020 Or 2021 And If DStv Adds It The Channel Might Replace FOX Life

SPI International/FilmBox is launched Timeless Drama Channel (TDC), a new worldwide TV network devoted to Turkish drama series and movies. TDC will feature such hit dramas as Kurt Seyit and Sura, 20 Minutes and The End. Based on the European rollout Western Europe got the channel late 2019 while MENA got mid 2019 and Central Europe got it last year.

In 2018, SPI International stated that the channel will grace it's presence in Africa, Asia and Latin America in an unforeseeable future.

Turkish telenovelas have been distributed across several television stations across Africa especially South Africa where e.tv also offers them in English and Afrikaans which have been performing well with its viewers.

MultiChoice on the other hand relies on the dull and waste of space FOX Life for those kind of programs sadly the channel aired almost all of them halfway with no news of a possible return now we might know why.

Throughout 2019, FOX Life has brought nothing but repeats of their old catalogues and never bother trying to source out more programs to keep their viewers interested even the Turkish novelas like Lodestar and Second Chance Season 1 aired continuosly until the channel scrubbed the Turkish novelas from the lineup filling it with more repeats of African reality series. Even their Facebook account seems less inactive.

Remember those adverts about the home of telenovelas DStv used to highlight several other channels including this one with that description now there's no telenovelas to still consider it a home to soapies too it's safe to say FOX Life is a gonner.
