As the new year starts unfolding, eVOD updated their portfolio by adding Dayan, Destructive Beauty (Daayan) from India's very own &TV to the Indian & Korean section of eVOD. The platform is also slated to air a film titled Surviving Gaza. Dayan, Destructive Beauty follows Janvi Maurya, a well-educated and family-oriented girl hailing from Ujjain, stumbles upon a dangerous ploy by an evil force as many unusual and mysterious happenings occur in her hometown. With a threat to her life, she must unmask the identity of a Daayan. This will be the first Indian series starring Mohit Malhotra and Tina Datta in lead roles while Priya Bathija was cast as the titular Daayan to ditch eExtra for now and air on eVOD. Viewers will likely have to wait for the upcoming series Vishkanya: Blue Venom Girl to conclude on eExtra to see this series. At the moment, no synopsis has been provided for Surviving Gaza but it will be the first Kwaito based film which is produced and directed by

Closing in the United States. Notice of the discontinuation of the American iteration of Fox Life was sent to cable providers by Disney Media and Entertainment Distribution in late December 2021; the channel will be discontinued on March 31, 2022, and with it, the final iteration of Fox Life will be wound down. Fox Life first launched in Italy on 13 May 2003 and was conceived 10 years later in the United States. Internationally, the channel was known for the selection of soaps and region based content while the United States opted for FOX reruns. Over the years, the channel had started losing sight globally which had a negative impact on their viewership. It wasn't long till several markets announced the discontinuation of the brand including Europe, Africa and Asia. The United States was one of the last markets to house this brand better yet they are one of the few to carry so many Disney Channels. Now another channel will be put to rest following the closure of ESPN Clas

Ever wanted to see Africa from afar well Travel Africa Network got you covered Africa recieved its first travel channel in 2019 with the introduction of Travel Africa Network (TAN) which covers 135 million homes in Europe with its extensive tourism lineup in the form of culture, luxury and adventure and many more. Not long ago, a reader spotted the channel online and was curious to know why an African skewed brand isn't available in the same way a channel like HONEY can be seen in the market. Similar to The Africa Channel (TAC), the content can be viewed elsewhere. In this case, Nigeria's very own Spice TV from Consolidated Media Associates. Read the next story to see why this deal benefitted TAN in the long run. It will be shocking if TAN was fortunate to become a channel in Africa. Travel Channel has competition 3 years after Discovery Inc. turned Travel Channel into a horror show from the main market. More countries start adapting to this format as the brand is runn

eToonz has been regarded as the D+ player in eMedia's portfolio that they've turned it into another Rewind channel for all the kids slate available on e.tv's youth block Craze. Even though 24/7 is out of the question here's ways the channel could improve: 1. Repeats This is common denominator in most linear channels but the case with eToonz has worsened. Although there has been several adjustment the channel is far from finished. In this case, we have Pokémon and Power Rangers which have dedicated slots to recycle the same batch of episodes for who knows how long. In 2019, when production was halted on all of Craze local youth programming. eToonz temporarily adapted to a 7 day type format where the weekend slate wasn't entirely dedicated to weekday programming. Even though, eMedia has no intention of reviving that concept. They could however give weekends its own repeats it doesn't have to be the entire schedule perhaps. Weekends could offer a par

It's been months since we got an update on SABC's long awaited streaming service. Through financial statements, it was estimated that the platform will be functional by the end of March 2022. Don't be surprised if it missed the deadline, I could think up a number of reasons why the platform failed to materialize back in 2018 one of them have to do with the Asian streaming platform VIU. As some were aware last year, eMedia Investments breached their contract with the brand for their content and they can only stop distributing content to them by 2024. Just by looking at eVOD, you can clearly see that there's several loopholes in this agreement and SABC could have complicated things for themselves in this area maybe their agreement with them is different from eMedia Investments. The only thing everyone knew about this streaming service was the fact no new content would be invested toward the platform and that it will be similar to BBC's iPlayer. Here's a cou

Winnie The Pooh could be heading to streaming services According to DisnInsider, a project featuring the lovable bear was in early development for Disney+. It will likely be animated since Winnie The Pooh has been more known for animation than live action. This will be the first TV animated Winnie Pooh Project in 15 years since Playhouse Disney My Friends Tigger And Pooh. Back in 2015, the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon pitched a Winnie The Pooh Reboot to Disney with a full animated pilot in hand, sadly in 2016 the pilot was passed. Cartoon Network is heading to space Last year, Cartoon Network was looking for storyboard artists for a untitled space adventure which is said to carry a lot of comedic storytelling and dynamic action. They seem to be concealing details about the show. The only known facts about the project is that it will be an animated series which will be held in space and carry a lot of action adventure. Judging by the facts it could be new concept or Ga

After 24 years, National Geographic and possibly National Geographic Wild end their run in the UK as The Walt Disney Company moves further content to their streaming service Disney+ as direct-to-consumer business is the company's top priority. According to a source from Digital Spy, there's currently discussion between Sky and Virgin with The Walt Disney Company over switching to a new feed. As of right now, National Geographic is expected to migrate onto Disney+ next month. Still no confirmation if this includes National Geographic Wild but it seems very likely. Last year, it was reported National Geographic production hub in the UK had been aligned with Disney EMEA . This only increased suspicion for the brand's possible demise for viewers in that region. Aside from that, their linear offering in the main market has seen a decline in households with all brands losing between 7-10 million consumers as Disney+ viewership skyrocketed. Internationally, The Walt
