He most recently kicked off his “Impossible” tour in Pretoria and will travel throughout the country. He is set to visit Durban and his home town of Gqeberha in March as well as other cities.

Cord Cutting: Several Channels Missing From The Merger Between WarnerMedia And Discovery Inc.

Warner Bros. Discovery is scheduled to launch by mid 2022 which will see Discovery Inc. (29%) and WarnerMedia (71%) merge into one unit therefore strengthening the bond of Discovery Channel, TLC and Animal Planet from Discovery Inc. with HBO, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim from WarnerMedia.

As the merger reaches its final stages, both brands have made available cutbacks within the last year such as the retraction of Great American Country, spinning off CNN and possibly phasing out the TNT brand across Europe.

Recently, The CW which is home to Charmed, Walker, The Flash, Riverdale and Batgirl had been put up for auction on WarnerMedia's side while Hasbro is trying to piece out their agreement with Discovery Inc. for Discovery Family as both are deemed liabilities.

BBC Kids launches in the United States, could Africa be next?

During the course of 2021 amidst the news of Warner Bros. Discovery, a list of brands owned by both parties have surfaced the net and notice how all brands affected by this merge haven't been listed alongside several other brands particularly Travel Channel, TCM and Boomerang.

TCM has been phased out in most markets and Boomerang is currently on autopilot as Cartoonito launches across Europe. Despite not having much on their plate, these two are beloved have been considered fan favorites.

These two would make suitable tiles on HBO Max to help promote content from the past millenium.

For over a decade, Travel Channel has been viewed as the black sheep long before it was acquired by Discovery Inc. alongside Food Network in 2018. The channel is currently going through an identity crisis and a decline across Europe.

Discovery Inc. will form 21% of Warner Bros. Discovery so the question boils down to whether their current portfolio can make up that percentage and whether more cuts are underway perhaps for brands like Cooking Channel and the same can go to WarnerMedia for any of their brands.

More Mysteries: Travel Channel Has A Canadian Twin, Travel Africa Network Is Not Available In Africa And Discovery World Returned To DStv For At Least 6 Seconds

Ever wanted to see Africa from afar well Travel Africa Network got you covered

Africa recieved its first travel channel in 2019 with the introduction of Travel Africa Network (TAN) which covers 135 million homes in Europe with its extensive tourism lineup in the form of culture, luxury and adventure and many more.

Not long ago, a reader spotted the channel online and was curious to know why an African skewed brand isn't available in the same way a channel like HONEY can be seen in the market.

Similar to The Africa Channel (TAC), the content can be viewed elsewhere. In this case, Nigeria's very own Spice TV from Consolidated Media Associates.

Read the next story to see why this deal benefitted TAN in the long run. It will be shocking if TAN was fortunate to become a channel in Africa.

Travel Channel has competition

3 years after Discovery Inc. turned Travel Channel into a horror show from the main market. More countries start adapting to this format as the brand is running low on travel themed content.

Believe it or not, even Canada's Travel+Escape (T+E) from Blue Ant Media underwent the same procedure during the same period as Travel Channel.

COVID had no involvement as the changes occurred 3 years ago and this disease is a year old. It's possible that this type of content is no longer valuable for our eyeballs.

How long do you suppose it will be till TAN becomes something else?

Discovery Channel and Discovery World are now the same thing...DStv Showcase

Since last year, Discovery World owned by Discovery Inc. had been shelved with remaining shows transmitted to other brands. The lineup consisted mainly of documentaries and other entertainment elements.

The channel was available from 2010 to 2016 on MultiChoice's DStv. They hosted a media briefing unveiling a selection of content coming within the next year including two Discovery+ originals Pushing The Line And The Swim.

Through a promo, MultiChoice paid tribute to Discovery World and you had to find out moments after the showcase that these programs were for Discovery Channel.

Africa has been viewed as the hotspot for Europe's scraps but I doubt this brand will be used for anything outside programming as there's not much content to keep it sustainable.

Look at Discovery Channel's logo doesn't it remind you a bit about Discovery World?

Discovery Channel has a globe on the name while Discovery World included it as an additional accessory so the brands aren't that far apart from one another.

You can also find me through the other platforms by pressing this link in brackets (Lnk.Bio).

Travel Channel Could Be On The Chopping Block On DStv Following The Major Decline In Europe


Travel Channel is currently on autopilot through DStv as international markets have started aligning themselves with the main counterpart while others have pulled the rug under the channel.

One of the longest running brands on Discovery offered leisure, lifestyle and other travel related programs is transitioning to horror which is probably part of a phase in rolling out Discovery+.

As mentioned, several Travel Channels have closed down amidst the transition to horror and it wouldn't surprise me if the same fate awaited the brand in Africa.

The channel has heavily been disregarded by the media including Discovery Inc which held a celebration for much younger brands TLC and ID this month. On top of that ignorance is usually the first signs in terminations at Discovery.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Discovery Family might end as a linear channel in Africa following its termination on StarSat of course details surrounding the termination remain a mystery.

Either Discovery is consolidating the entertainment seen on Discovery Family and Travel Channel to male focused DMAX as seen in Europe or they are launching an accessory to HGTV, Magnolia Network.

You can find me on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
