Could E! Entertainment Be A Thing Of The Past?

Image
E! Entertainment is a celebrity based entertainment channel owned by NBCUniversal that has mainly been used for glitz and glamour or in other words takes you on a trip to Hollywood through red carpets and interviews with their notable title being The Kardashians. As seen these past months or in other people's perspective last year, NBCUniversal has been cutting back on original content for their channels and E! Entertainment happened to be one of those last remaining channels internationally. As it is DreamWorks Channel is more like PBS Kids as content is funded by third parties, there's not much changes coming to Studio Universal but when you turn to Universal TV they were more like CBS Reality pitching for new content now they're the slums like BET. E! Entertainment has lost out on several originals like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, E! News, The Soup and Daily Pop. At the time, not a lot of people knew how far NBCUniversal would go in this layoffs that was until

Tutankhamun’s Tomb 100th Anniversary Commemorated With Premiere Programming

Image
King Tutankhamen, or King Tut as he is more commonly known today, was relatively unknown to the world until 1922, when his tomb was discovered by Howard Carter. Now, 100 years later, this unprecedented historic discovery will be commemorated with the premiere of Tut’s Toxic Tomb on National Geographic (DStv 181, Starsat 220) on Fridays at 19:00 (CAT), from 18 November 2022, as well as with fascinating library programming exploring various facets of the renowned pharoah’s life. On 26th November 1922, Howard Carter made what was dubbed as the greatest archaeological find of all time – entering the treasure-filled tomb of the Egyptian boy king Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun’s tomb contained thousands of artifacts, a sarcophagus containing his mummy, and a now-famous headdress. It took Carter and his team almost ten years to catalogue the contents of the tomb. The over five thousand artifacts and well-preserved mummies found in the tomb have since brought new insights into life in ancient Egypt

Why Impact Wrestling Is No Longer On Your Screens Or At Least Not With Openview?

Image
WWE was ripped off from viewer's screens several years ago and found its way onto SuperSport. At the time, eMedia Investments wasn't quick to source a replacement and relied solely on the existing international offering to fill the gap left by the wrestling brand. It wasn't long till there was an announcement eMedia Investments acquired broadcasting rights to Impact Wrestling. The rights which was formerly held by SuperSport so in a way they kind of did a switcheroo kind of like that time with Lotto and Powerball. Now if we have to go over Impacts time on e.tv here's how to summarise it, the show didn't form part of the monthly TAMS as seen with WWE in the past and the audience in question weren't as welcoming of Impact as they were with WWE which kind of spells trouble. As seen overseas, Impact Wrestling is no longer in the big leagues as existing competitors such as AEW and WWE. Most of its reason for living has to do with its history as TNA! Impact. An

Chris Farley: A List Of Unfinished Projects By Former Actor And Comedian

Image
This week, we turn our attention to Chris Farley, the beloved comedy actor who took Second City, Saturday Night Live, and the movie industry by storm before dying a tragic death at the hands of drugs at the age of 33 in 1997. Throughout his career, Farley was tied to some pretty big movie projects that he didn’t get to follow through on, including starring in a sunnier version of The Cable Guy, portraying Ignatius J. Reilly in the “cursed” movie version of the novel A Confederacy of Dunces, and voicing the titular talking ogre in Shrek.  It’s heartbreaking that Chris Farley was taken from us when he was so young, but by examining the projects he was working on just prior to his death, we can get a feel for where his career might have taken him, had tragedy not struck. The Cable Guy (1996) The role: The Cable Guy Who got it: Jim Carrey Chris Farley had a two-picture deal with Paramount that was about to run out by the time Tommy Boy was released in 1995 and became a surprise hit.

Possibly On Autopilot: Nicktoons UK Has Been Reduced To Just 3 Shows From November

Image
For several months, Nicktoons has been reduced to what appears to be waste as Paramount seems to have isolated the channel from reality by funneling the schedule with several cancelled shows such as Lego City Adventures, Horrid Henry and The Casagrandes. NickMusic seems to be the only active as mentioned but having it on a brand such as Nicktoons seems to wreak of embarassment seeing as the channel has become the Disney XD of 2022 - redundant, out of tune and currently clinging onto life support. But it seems as if that may not be the only Nicktoons to seem obsolete at this point apparently our neighbours in the UK & Ireland are undergoing a similar procedure with the brand. In September, the channel was temporarily known as Nick SpongeBob consisting of shows SpongeBob SquarePants and The Patrick Star with Nick Horrid Henry to follow during the month of October now in November it returns to "normal viewing". It was reported that another pop-up channel consisting of
