FOX Will No Longer Be Available On DStv And StarSat From October

The FOX channel in Africa has turned into the walking dead with the last of its programming turning into a zombie schedule after Disney decided to end the channel on DStv and StarSat after 11 and a half years at the end of September, ripping away the ending of The Walking Dead from pay-TV subscribers across the continent. In response to a media query, The Walt Disney Company Africa confirms that its FOX (DStv 125 / StarSat 131) channel is ending on pay-TV services like MultiChoice's DStv, StarTimes and StarSat, as well as Zuku across sub-Saharan Africa at the end of September. "On 30 September at 23:59 (CAT), the FOX channel across Africa will close," a South African spokesperson of The Walt Disney Company Africa says. "As the television landscape and viewer consumption evolves, we continue to develop and review our products and services to ensure we are offering the best possible experience for consumers." "We look forward to bringing consumers across A

New Channel Alert (Rumor): SABC Children Could Be In The Works

Image
Earlier this year, I did a recap on SABC Children which is one of SABC's purposed channels for DTT which never came to light due to the poor management and the delayed switchover from analogue to digital television. From what I remember, the channel is available as a digital channel on the Tuluntulu app alongside SABC Education which was there long before it was made available on DTT and TelkomOne. Now there's a slight possibility that maybe the SABC plans to launch SABC Children which would serve as a complimentary channel to SABC Education as opposed to a rival. Funny thing here is, SABC Entertainment might have been scrapped with SABC Encore still onboard which is probably for the best since they'd likely be following the MTV 80s and 90s brand which aired content from different timelines. SABC Children joins SABC Parliament and SABC Encore as possible new channels from the SABC. Other channels SABC purposed in 2012 but never got the light of day include SABC Mo

SABC Sport And ESPN Launch A New Partnership

Image
Following eMedia Investments with News & Sport, the SABC has concluded a distribution agreement with Walt Disney Co that will allow it to broadcast local and international live sporting events, news programming and a library of sporting content from ESPN. ESPN, which is by far the top sports broadcaster in the US – akin to MultiChoice Group-owned SuperSport in South Africa – will provide the public broadcaster with the content for its SABC Sports channel. This content will include European football matches, the SABC said on Friday. It represents an escalation of an intensifying war for viewers with MultiChoice, particularly as the content will be available on eMedia Holdings’ free-to-air Openview platform, which this week topped 2.5 million decoder activations in the South African market. “ Dedicated slots will offer viewers a live English Championship match on Saturdays and a Dutch Eredivisie game on Sundays “Kicking off this weekend is the premiere of two brand-new ESPN-br

Prediction: G4 Expands Across The UK, Europe And South Africa Through Ginx Esports TV

Image
G4 is an upcoming gaming brand from NBCUniversal which is scheduled to released by the end of the year in the United States and serves as a rival to SPI International's Gametoons and a spinoff to Sky's Ginx Esports TV. The revived brand will feature new episodes of past series such as Attack Of The Show!, X-Play, G4TV Esports and Ninja Warrior. They'be even greenlit a new series which stars WWE superstar, Xavier Woods. Even though, there hasn't been any indicator to a possible rollout it's very likely that it will launch under Ginx Esports TV since Sky is owned by Comcast that also manage NBCUniversal International. It's also possible that some of the content seen on Ginx Esports TV will be scrapped for 'localised version' of G4's upcoming content seeing as both channels have original content in their respective markets. Comcast recently partnered up with ViacomCBS International to rollout a new streaming service across Europe called SkyShowca
