eMedia Investments No Longer Have Broadcasting Rights To La Liga, Could This Be The End Of e.tv News & Sport?

Image
Last year, eMedia Investments claimed that they secured rights to La Liga for the next 4 years now they're saying they no longer have the rights to La Liga. Angry and upset customers were rallying around Openview with queries about La Liga only to be disappointed. The company didn't bother issuing a press release or respond honestly to these consumers. Which kind of leads to the question what will become of News & Sport? They started out as OpenNews offering a mix of local and international news only to chop most of the international news for sports content which led to the name change. News & Sport has been dominating the viewership circuit and become one of the top 10 watched channels in South Africa that they even bagged rights to Impact Wrestling. Following the launch of SABC Sport, eMedia Investments has diverted most of its attention towards that channel than they do News and Sport. As months pass, SABC Sport seems to be the only one bringing in the viewe

Image
This comes after the SABC cut the popular soapie to three episodes a week earlier this year. "7de Laan is delighted at the SABC's decision to bring back the show to 5 days a week," said the production. The Afrikaans weekday soap 7de Laan on SABC2 is returning to a full 5-days a week while the Venda weekday soap Muvhango remains a full-week show, bringing to an end the SABC's failed experiment to cut down on the episodes for both series to try out other programmes in their timeslots. From the week of Monday 4 October, 7de Laan is back to broadcasting five episodes per week on SABC2. The channel has not yet issued any statement about the soapies' return to full-week episodes. "7de Laan is delighted at the SABC's decision to bring back the show to 5 days a week," the production confirmed to the media on Friday. "We know that our fans are over extremely appreciative and excited for this. We owe much of their persistent request to the return. Vie

Could MultiChoice's Upcoming DStv Flex Package Replace The Premium And Compact+?

Image
Over the years, MultiChoice has lost several Premium subscribers due to the ongoing increase in costs for the package as well as streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video offering cheaper services. Sometime ago, MultiChoice mentioned they were planning to launch the Premium downfall package known as DStv Flex which is geared towards the mid to top tier consumers. The timing for this package couldn't have come at a better time. As viewers noticed, a lot of international channels have been pulled off as their suppliers are taking back the content and adding it to onto their streaming services. In the end, consumers are left with less options and no reason to stay on the platform. MultiChoice has been working around the clock to keep these viewers connected through the launches of several local channels and M-Net's increased investment within the local industry. No matter how successful their attempts have been when it comes down to costs viewers feel they
