A few months ago, MultiChoice had axed two provincial channels on the DStv platform, One Freestate Televisual and NWTV . After residing on the platform for less than 3 months, MultiChoice had silently axed the channels without any prior notice. Since then, One Freestate Televisual remained on StarSat with the TV channel that had attempted to negotiate a new agreement with MultiChoice . NWTV on the other hand is not viewable anywhere in Africa thus concluding its run as a linear channel. MultiChoice in these endeavors had removed seven additional channels: 1Magic , Me , People's Weather , Emmanuel TV , B4U Movies , Ginx eSports TV and Deutsche Welle . Since then only select shows from a minority from these brands were available for viewing.  As seen through the programme guide, Soweto TV scooped up rights to one of the few programs from NWTV, The Girl . It followed a young girl named Belky who grew up in a jungle after being abducted had escaped years later and unite

During the week, MultiChoice had launched the standalone  24 hour service to Showmax, 1Max . After promising Compact+ consumers a rebranded offering, 1Max debuts on channel 103 with content already seen on 1Magic with a major boost from Me. After having closed Me on channel 115 which targeted consumers on the Compact and Family packages. MultiChoice had opted alienate them from viewing further shows from M-Net and this includes Yellowstone and The sixth season of The Good Doctor. Consumers on Compact+ confused and frustrated over the switch to 1Max as various traits from 1Magic had surfaced on the channel. This includes sitcoms Moesha and One And One with further additions of content viewed on Africa Magic and KykNET.  From what we've grasped, 1Max is a Showmax tailored channel basically BBC UKTV and Nicktoons - secondary network. All the premium bonanza was axed when the premiere of Champions moved from 1Magic to Mzansi Magic.  Honestly speaking, 1Max's debut

Imtiaz Patel will remain as chair of MultiChoice until the conclusion of the Canal+ transaction, the pay-TV operator said on Tuesday. French broadcaster Canal+ has made a mandatory offer to MultiChoice investors to take up all the shares that it does not already own by April 8. The MultiChoice board said it had reached an agreement for Patel to stay as the continuity would be beneficial. Patel agreed to extend his tenure until the conclusion of the Canal+ transaction or sooner, depending on the progress of the transaction. Elias Masilela, a long-standing non-executive director and the chair, became the deputy chair of the MultiChoice board on April 1. He will also become lead independent director in place of Jim Volkwyn, who will step down as lead independent director but remain as a non-executive director.   At the start of February, Canal+ made an offer to buy the rest of the company at R105 a share, or just more than R31bn, in what would have been the biggest M&A de

Kamp Koral: SpongeBob's Under Years is an American animated television series created by Stephen Hillenburg and developed by Luke Brookshier, Marc Ceccarelli, Andrew Goodman, Kaz, Mr. Lawrence , and Vincent Waller that premiered on Paramount + on March 4, 2021.  The series is a prequel and spinoff of Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants, featuring younger versions of the characters as they attend  summer camp. The camp is run by Mr. Krabs with Mrs. Puff overseeing camp activities.  In August 2021, the series was renewed for a 13-episode second which is slated to be released in later in the year. Although, the series hadn't been officially cancelled the second season's commission was halved by the network.  Unlike Baby Shark’s Big Show and That Girl Lay Lay whose episodes were burned off on secondary networks. Kamp Koral will be having its final prayers on Nickelodeon likely due to the purging of shows due in light of Quiet On Set and  corporate write

Not long ago, it was revealed that 1Max was the name of the TV channel set to replace 1Magic and Me on DStv. It is currently unknown if 1Max will also be included on Compact and Family as tests are also being conducted on 1Magic's channel number. 1Max from what we could figure based on the logo is a Showmax tailored channel. Unlike 1Magic which was catered to Southern Africa with a separate feed in West Africa, 1Max seems to be following its streaming counterpart and unifying this lineup. The West African telenovela Wura after launching on the Africa Magic channels in 2022 will rollout on 1Max. Based on the 1Magic telenovela  The River, Wura follows an iron lady who doesn’t  care whose ox is gored in her path to get what she wants. This will be followed by the Afrikaans romcom Troukoors (Wedding Fever) after debuting on KykNET in 2021. Starring an all elite cast, It followed a wedding planner who surrounded by friends and family is on a journey toward self discove

Earlier in the year, it was reported that MultiChoice was currently working on a TV channel with the letter X in its name . Not much details was shared about the content or when this channel would be ready for distribution to consumers. As reported last month, MultiChoice and M-Net had shuttered the M-Net's Me and 1Magic channel on DStv . As they continue streamlining their portfolio further reducing the amount of linear channels available.  Not long ago, the pay-tv company had begun experimenting on the reported Channel X brand which we now know is 1Max. It describes itself as the best TV channel for Showmax viewing offering shows such as Tali's #JoburgDiary, Wura and The Good Doctor.  Considering that M-Net will be merging Me and 1Magic into a single TV channel. It would make a sense for the channel to be available to consumers as Me and 1Magic but MultiChoice had promised this channel would be available to their Compact+ consumers. There's chances that cer
