Pending Development: More e.tv Coming Soon To DStv Once eToonz, eExtra, eMovies And eMovies Extra Exit The DStv Platform

Image
Last year, MultiChoice made plans to terminate eMedia Investments' 4 channels eExtra, eToonz, eMovies and eMovies Extra by the end of the first quarter of that year only to be delayed to the second quarter as the pay-tv operator was going through court proceedings. Initially, MultiChoice had won the case as these channels went dark for about two months only to resurface as the pay-tv company were advised to hold on to these channels for another 6 months which take viewers to the first quarter of 2023. As advised, no dates were shared as to when exactly these channels will go dark exactly but my guess between January to March likely not even in the third month depending on how the court conceives 6 months. eMedia Investments: - Glow TV to stop airing on the Openview platform from next month -  Prediction: eToonz to get an additional channel -  Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels? -  eToonz schedule explained If the court made their ruling earlier

Could SABC Be Unveiling Another Two Channels Possibly On Openview Ultra, Here's Why?

Image
For several weeks, eMedia Investments has been teasing consumers with the launch of Openview Ultra (formerly known as Openview+) which serves the pay tier to the current Openview platform for which the broadcaster is expected to unveil later in the year. As consumers await the launch of Openview Ultra, eMedia Investments had reserved the area for 4 yet to be launched channels in the slots of channels 241, 242, 301 and 302 and as some had noticed not which muchs are available in the mentioned slots until recently. eMedia Investments had placed SABC 2 and SABC 3 in the test channel section. Although, this may not mean much SABC 1 was often used as a test pilot for SABC Encore so it's possible that maybe SABC 2 and SABC 3 are just placeholders for other channels. eMedia Investments: - Glow TV to stop airing on the Openview platform from next month -  Prediction: eToonz to get an additional channel -  Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels? -  eToonz sc

Reminder: Glow TV Will Stop Airing On The Openview Platform From February 2023 With Questions Regarding The Brand's Presence On StarSat

Image
This has been expected for a while now especially after the whole chaos with its removal on the DStv platform so all that is left at the moment is StarSat. Glow TV is a South African based entertainment channel which promotes Bollywood culture through drama series, movies, reality shows, news, kids shows and even local productions from the likes of Denver Naicker. Over the years, the likes of Zee TV's Zee World and Zee One alongside Star Life have slowly started edging out the presence already established by Glow TV that led to its cancellation on both DStv and by next month Openview. Both providers went through legal issues of which Nismedia won in regards to Openview as they unlawfully removed before their contract could even expire. As for DStv, it's pay-tv operator defamed them in terms of viewership despite not giving any proof. eMedia Investments: -  Prediction: eToonz to get an additional channel -  Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels?

BBC To Close Linear Channels And Move Into An Internet-Only Digital Future

Image
The BBC is to have “fewer linear broadcast services” in the next decade as it “consolidates activity under one simple, single brand,” Director General Tim Davie has revealed, as he unveiled a blueprint for a digitally-led Public Service Broadcaster. Davie didn’t elaborate during an RTS talk this morning but Deadline understands it could be several years until the move is enacted. The speech signalled the start of a shift to taking linear-channels online only that will start over the next decade, as Davie prepares for a digital future. “The BBC will focus its effort on the digital world and over time this will mean fewer linear broadcast services and a more tailored joined up online offer,” said the DG. He stressed “live linear is here for the long term.” Some of this has already started happening, added Davie, who pointed to the controversial move to combine the BBC News Channel with BBC World News. BBC Four, meanwhile, still exists but has stopped commissioning original programing.
