eMedia Investments conjures up a local Monte Cristo Following the epic conclusion to Is'phindiselo, eMedia Investments has started releasing trailers and glimpse of the series to their channels as viewers wait on the second season. Is'phindiselo is a riveting one-hour drama, loosely based on the story of "The Count Of Monte Cristo", the novel by French author Alexandre Dumas. It tells the story of a young man, falsely imprisoned by his jealous "friend" who escapes and uses a hidden treasure to exact his revenge. The first season is currently available on eVOD. According to them, viewers needed to wait a year before viewing any of the upcoming content for the platform but that wasn't the case. The Turkish offering on eVOD didn't take that long to arrive on eExtra so it wouldn't be shocking if the same were to be done with their local offering. Is'phindiselo has a strong chance of landing on e.tv as there's more viewers on that s

Openview : Last year, SABC failed to fill their end of the bargain with eMedia Investments when they promised to unveil the other two channels coming to the Openview platform. SABC Education and SABC News are obviously not part of this deal as one would have joined the 19 radio stations and SABC Sport while the other is managed by MultiChoice. SABC has registered 3 new channels from their DTT plans of which 2 will are likely for Openview: SABC Encore - a repeats channel catering towards viewers who grew out of SABC 1-3.

Prediction: TLNovelas Gets A Name Change Amidst The Merger Between Univision And The Parent Company Televisa + Batch Of Programming Coming To Telemundo Africa And More Zee World Channels

Image
Is the TLNovelas brand name done for? Last year, it was reported Televisa and Univision would merge to form a new company Televisa-Univision. This merger would see their properties consolidate under one hub. Televisa-Univision offer linear channels with some markets housing both brands separately while others package one of two. The question dives down to the fate to the linear offering globally. Before the merger, Univision offered a customised station for Televisa soaps known as Univision TLNovelas. Now that they'll be a single entity perhaps this brand could become a reruns channel with further content moving to Univision while others house the branding. Univision TLNovelas or vice versa makes a suitable name as the company couldn't think of a much better name than TLNovelas Univision. To be honest, I'd much rather have them use Prende TV as the name for their linear channels. Keep feeling the passion with Telemundo Telemundo continues its tough journey ahead

Will StarSat Replace The Smithsonian Channel And Love Nature?

Image
Two years ago, StarSat replaced National Geographic and WILD with ViacomCBS's The Smithsonian Channel and Blue Ant Media's Love Nature as they were trying to patch these up with National Geographic's owners, The Walt Disney Company. National Geographic and WILD returned a year after that incident and right until November 2021 they were beefing with their supposed replacements. MultiChoice went through the same experience with A+E Networks even though they lost a couple tooth. Viewers are still able to access their offering alongside the additional resources. Unfortunately that's no longer the case with StarSat, viewers across the world have lost several channels and not all of them were fortunate enough to be replaced. The same case passes them and MultiChoice. In regards to replacements, don't hold your breath it's not the matter of the brand as seen they've lost several channels but these two channels weren't considered newcomers but placehol
