Why The Kids Lineup Is Still Tiresome On DStv?

During the pandemic, DStv has been trying to keep the entertained and educated at the same time and that has proven to be a major bust on some viewers angle. They recently added the German-based educational channel Da Vinci Kids and Mindset's Pop Primary. So far those channels are getting good reviews since their educational and that's where most of the applause is coming from. MultiChoice has also invested locally with several other markets launching a regional educational channel. There's SABC Education for South Africa, Edu TV for Kenya, ZNBC Education for Zambia and Ghana Learning for Ghana. If you look at all these brands owners they offer a ton of propaganda but as long as they're trying to keep kids educated some will give it a pass. Now the kiddies entertainment lineup needs improvement. MultiChoice stated that kids can tolerate repeats more than adults well there's plenty of kids that are bored with the current offering. Problems: Cartoon

SuperSport Follows M-Net And Restructures All Their Channels As Well

Image

OpenView Unexpectedly Dumps BBC World News And Adds France24 In Its Place

Image
BBC World News is the 1st victim from the eMedia platform to get the chop on OpenView without no explanation from e.tv or better yet any notice for their loyal viewers. BBC World News lasted about two years and 7 months on the OpenView platform with the cheap France24 taking up it's space on channel 121. France 24 is a French state-owned international news television network based in Paris. Its channels broadcast in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish and are aimed at the overseas market, similar to BBC World News, DW, RT and TRT World. The channel ran as a programming block on e.tv News and Sports channels before becoming a full-length channel on the platform unexpectedly. There's no reason behind the sudden removal of BBC World News. It's more likely due to costs and with the pandemic around a lot of businesses have been cutting back so this might be one of them. OpenView now joins DStv which suffered a lot of cutbacks in the year so far only t

Telemundo suffered a major setback earlier in the year with Lord of the Skies S7 now the channel has a new premiere date for the show while The Way To Paradise moves into its third season immediately after the second season. The Way To Paradise (Sin Seños Si Hay Paraíso) S3, The season begins with the expected results of the departmental beauty contest of Colombia, and revolves around the doubts that remained in the previous season, about the curse that persecutes the daughters of "Las Chicas del Barrio", the spell of Albeiro (Fabián Ríos) and the confusion of Catalina, La Grande (Carmen Villalobos), for her love for El Titi (Gregorio Pernía) and Albeiro. As well as the conflict between Hernán Darío (Juan Pablo Urrego), and Catalina, La Pequeña (Carolina Gaitán) about Mariana's pregnancy, and the return of Martín (Juan Alfonso Baptista), who has returned to take revenge on Catalina, La Grande for having handed him over to the authorities.

SABC Education Might Be Available In August On DStv And Possibly Starsat

Image
SABC launched an educational channel back in May on DTT and online platforms with more platforms scheduled to add it later. SABC Education has been seen on the test channel section through DStv channel 950 for almost two months now alongside Starsat platform where it's numbered through their website on channel 313 and available to those who carry the Max, Special and Super package. Recently, a viewer noticed that the channel no schedule on DStv starting from the 1st of August leading that individual to believe and possibly some viewers to believe that the channel will be made available on DStv by then. Both DStv, Starsat and SABC were asked on the status of the channel on the platforms with DStv redirecting clients to SABC, Starsat with its "stay tuned for more information" and SABC with its constant silence. My guess would be SABC Education launches tomorrow or sometime this month on channel 314 or more likely 316 and is made available to Easyview if
