The SABC has announced that it will remove standalone sports bulletins from its radio stations in an effort to cut costs, according to a report by the City Press. This has resulted in more than 30 sports bulletin readers at the company facing retrenchment, unless their stations are able to motivate for their retainment.

Could Disney XD International Suffer The Same Fate As Disney XD In The United States

Image
As some already noticed the mouse brand decided to stop making original content for XD with future original programming going to Disney Channel, Plus and Jr. With XD repeating their last remaining animation which airs exclusively on the main channel. Walt Disney Co. never made an official announcement with regards to XD's transition instead they made several advertisement of XD's shows airing on Disney Channel which made it easier for people to figure out that the channel became another Nicktoons for mostly repeats. Since then you've actually seen some markets scrap the brand or seek other alternatives. The remaining XD channels adapt to one feed (excluding Asia and Latin America) and due to that aligned feed all you see them do is air all the old stuff seen on Disney XD along with the brands last remaining shows. There has been speculation that Marvel HQ would replace the brand so far only India has it then there's Nat Geo Kids in my opinion. During Disne

What Happened To TBN's Smile Channel On Starsat And StarTimes?

Back in 2019, Starsat and StarTimes subscribers awoke only to discover Smile TV was no longer available on the platform.

To start off the year, Smile got scrapped worldwide according to the admin of Smile TV media account and viewers can only find it online worldwide or through DVB2 in the United States. It's possible that both Starsat and StarTimes found out around the time the channel left as viewers were asking about the channel and they were silent for a couple of hours. Do I believe these companies will replace it? No Is it worth replacing? Not really, there's plenty of religious channels so they'll more likely recommend subscribers to those channels or maybe source out "another" kids channel that won't be added as a replacement channel Pos
