eMedia Investments Silently Discontinues Ultraview With Star Select And Zee Family Removed From Openview Platforms After 2 Years

In 2023, eMedia Investments' unveiled plans to rival with MultiChoice's DStv with the launch of Ultraview. It served as an add-on to the current Openview offering and comprised of two packages the first package EDGE offered youth based content with the other Spice TV offering Bollywood stories.

Spice TV comprised of just two channels Star Select and Zee Family served as the remainder of eMedia Investments' pay-tv venture. It managed to outlive EDGE which was discontinued last year with its offering folded under the Pride tile through eVOD.

During the week, eMedia Investments and MultiChoice added Star Khanya, a new Zulu dubbed Bollywood channel from Jiostar who also distribute Star Life in Africa. Unbeknownst to viewers was the sudden removal of Star Select and Zee Family on Openview.

As some viewers remember, Ultraview's initial reception was mostly negative from current Openview consumers with some comparing it to DStv. Ultraview flexed a pricing structure that MultiChoice was skeptical in offering it's consumers as the content would become more expensive.

eMedia Investments has killed that part of its business as it wasn't financially stable and the channels in question couldn't be probably monetised. Spice TV was the only popular addition to Ultraview and this stemmed from the fact that Openview already offered Star Life and Zee One. 

Fact of the matter is linear TV has been in decline in favour of streaming in South Africa compared to the rest of Africa and MultiChoice has been losing consumers from all areas of its DStv offering. Ultraview couldn't compete in an already competitive landscape.

News Shorts: Zee One Launches New Series The Unseen Yanking Off Ruzia Sultan, The Home Channel Is Flipping Homes With Hoarder House Flippers And Disney Channel HD Might Be In Development For DStv Consumers In South Africa

The Unseen can never be seen again

Zee One in a weird turn of events had decided to retract the historical drama Razia Sultan from the schedule and without prior notice slotted The Unseen. It's very strange how they can just pull off a show that was already accessible on Zee World for its entirety and a similar move had befallen Curse Of The Sands.

Synopsis for The Unseen

The Bengali series follows Vikram and his family who live in a house in Laalkuthi that is filled with paranormal inhabitants. The story revolves around how Anamika, after marrying Vikram, reveals the secret of Laalkuthi as she also felt something amiss in the house.

The lead actors are Rooqma Ray as Anamika Roy Chowdhury and Rahul Banerjee as Vikram Dastidar.

The Home Channel launches new show, Hoarder House Flippers

In a red-hot housing market, smart flippers know the lengths they have to go to in order to make the highest profit and, sometimes that means taking on a dingy ‘hoarder house’. Buried under years of clutter, trash and neglect, these neighbourhood eyesores are typically a homebuyer’s worst nightmare, but for three entrepreneurial teams of flippers, hoarder houses offer a unique opportunity.

In each episode, one renovation team digs deep, rolling up their sleeves to take on the full transformation of a dilapidated house. They work day and night to clear out the junk and breathe new life into these challenging properties, turning them into gorgeous, desirable homes, all in the hopes of turning a major profit.

Hoarder House Flippers will broadcast Monday, 24 March 2025 at 12:00. New episodes will also be allocated on Thursday at 20:00 & Friday at 19:00.

Disney Channel getting the HD spotlight

With MultiChoice in the middle of a potential restructuring should Canal+ get approval from regulators to acquire the South African based company has a couple of premium tailored channels that aren't HD. Yes, we're referring to you Disney Channel compared to the amount of reruns on DStv they pulled a good fight.

It's stunning how a secondary network like Cartoonito is able to be HD before Disney Channel but this is a DStv/MultiChoice thing. For sometime, we had teased that Disney Channel would be HD which turned out to be none other than localised feed for some Southern African countries.

But now we're more convinced that this could potentially be an HD feed for the channel as it's floating around with the same channel as channel 303. Disney Channel did rebrand in the United States and who knows maybe alongside a potential HD feed will be makeover and perhaps an unveiling of upcoming shows like StuGO for instance.
