StarSat will drop its two Afrikaans channels from the platform on 30 September 2022, the owners of MyTV and OnseTV have announced. “StarSat, the South African branch of StarTimes Media, has ended Afrikaans on the StarSat decoder after 13 years of broadcast,” said MyTV CEO Jaco Ferreira. On Digital Media launched TopTV in South Africa on 1 May 2010. It was South Africa’s first noteworthy DStv contender since MultiChoice launched its satellite pay-TV service. Ferreira says that ASTV was accepted as the only Afrikaans channel on TopTV in October 2009. It operated out of Rustenburg and was later rebranded MyTV. On Digital Media soon ran into financial troubles and Chinese pay-TV player StarTimes bought the company out of business rescue in 2013. OnseTV started broadcasting on 29 September 2017 on StarSat channel 462. “Because OnseTV management works daily with a wide variety of people in the industry, it was clear from the start that there were no focused channel to cater for the

Several months ago, eMedia Investments unveiled their latest annual results where it was revealed that their free-to-view Openview platform has seen a high rate of growth as MultiChoice has begun to see a bloodbath of dissatisfied Premium and Compact customers. The likes of streamers like Netflix and Disney+ have been luring several consumers away from the pay-tv platform while MultiChoice now views eMedia Investments' Openview platform as a DStv killer as consumers fled the package following the carriage battle with both parties. eMedia Investments had stated in court the demise of their channels on DStv would see a plummet a revenue which is what they used to bring most of the content seen on eExtra and eToonz now with their channels reinstated they've begun planning for the year ahead. Openview has been successful for nearly a decade after generating 3 million subscribers that eMedia Investments had decided as predicted to use the platform to ramp up their pay-tv offering

France’s Canal+, which has steadily been buying shares in MultiChoice Group since 2020, has significantly increased its stake in the South African-headquartered pay-television operator. In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, JSE-listed MultiChoice said Groupe Canal+ has increased its stake from the 20.1% disclosed in July to 26.26% now. The move again raises questions about Canal+’s ultimate intentions, specifically whether it plans to make an offer to MultiChoice’s minorities – a move that could be difficult to execute given South Africa’s restrictions around the foreign ownership of broadcasters. The move again raises questions about Canal+’s ultimate intentions — whether it plans to make an offer to minorities “MultiChoice remains committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders and to create sustainable, long-term shareholder value.

Earlier in the year, MultiChoice in partnership with 4Racing TV launched a dedicated horseracing channel Racing240 which is proved to be performing exceptionally well with viewers after the channel was able to pull over 400000 which is just 100000 more than Tellytrack.

Last month, I mentioned that PBS Kids updated their schedule to only include Arthur as several viewers saw from day to night it was 24 hour scheduled jam-packed with nothing but the lovable hedgehog although the reason for it remains unknown. But from what's currently seen on the channel, PBS Kids seems to have put a halt into that with few series returning to the lineup including Peep And The Big Wide World, Arthur (as usual), WordWorld, Elinor Wonders Why and Cyberchase. Interesting to note is the PBS Kids logo which was once seen on the bottom right corner moved to the top right when the Arthur festivities concluded but what's not seen is the updated logo for some reason I mean they were able to change the positioning of the logo would have made more sense to introduce the new logo. But I forget to realise that PBS Kids isn't the type to promote much of the offering or add some variety to their ad breaks as it's often repetitive which is the best time to menti
