Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

As we reach the end of the first quarter of the year, eMedia Investments has yet to welcome any new additions on the Openview platform. Since the news of Ultraview, consumers have been feeling sidelined especially after the removal of Glow TV. Yesterday, a user on Facebook had come across a page known as e.tv Entertainment and not much is available except for the profile picture and the description which credits Openview consumers. There's chances that this could be a fan/spam page or quite contrary a yet-to-be-launched channel which can only be viewed on the Openview platform as the description currently entails. A reason this could be fake has to do with the brand name, e.tv Entertainment as it kind of resembles NBCUniversal's E! Entertainment and that was one of the reasons the eNews Channel on the DStv platform was shortened to simply eNCA. But then again eNews brand name has been running segments on e.tv even after that and one of the Openview Ultra's yet-to-be-

This April the HISTORY Channel Africa (DStv 186) will investigate the illegal antiquities trade, explore engineering disasters, dig into treasure quests across the globe and delve into the stories of the people, places and events that shaped our world. Looting History is an all new series every Wednesday at 19h25 (starting 5 April) which shines a spotlight on how the trade in stolen antiquities and art has become a major source of income for criminal syndicates, gangs, and terrorists across the globe. Precious ancient treasures torn out of the ground. Priceless art ripped from walls. It’s a modern tragedy, as the grandest of mankind’s achievements are reduced to little more than obscene commodities. Using a different case study, each episode of Looting History uncovers how and why everybody from Islamic State to the Chinese Triad have muscled in on the act, and why international law enforcement agencies are determined to shut it down, but often powerless to act. The series documents

During the month, Canada’s most popular children’s cartoon channel, Teletoon, was rebranded as Cartoon Network. The channel, which is a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment, launched 25 years ago in October 1997. Since then, it has aired original cartoon programs, while also playing TV shows from its sister channel Cartoon Network which had since then rebranded to Boomerang. All that was left of the Corus brand on linear platforms was Treehouse TV. Following the demise of Teletoon, they were rumours swirling around for sometime that the channel will fold under Cartoonito as they've licenced shows like Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders. Oh-oh-oh, Cartoonito! Kids and parents, get ready, because on April 24, @TreehouseTV will relaunch as @CartoonitoCN ! Have fun with such recognizable characters as Caillou, Bugs Bunny, Thomas and more as we prepare to bring Cartoonito to Canada on cable & @stacktv ! pic.twitter.com/9IaDynLkNb — Corus (@TayvenSmittenTV) March 30, 2023 Throug

This April, e.tv brings forth yet another brand-new drama, Smoke & Mirrors, produced by The Final Chapter Production. The show takes over the 9PM slot on the channel, replacing Imbewu. Smoke & Mirrors is set in the landscape of a small mining town called Emnyameni. Here, we come to learn that the story lives up to its name- nothing and no one is truly as they seem. Introducing the character of Thandiswa, a hairdresser by day, an escort by night, and a girl on a mission to rid the town of “The Unholy Trinity”, the group of morally corrupt men who run Emnyameni. “We’ve cooked up a story that is gripping at its core but yet has multiple facets that resonate with the viewer. A lot of research went into putting the show together and in the end, we are happy to say we have a good product to show and tell,” said Loyiso Maqoma, creator, writer and producer for Smoke & Mirrors. “e.tv focuses on introducing untold stories to the South African audience and promises enter

Nickelodeon abandons yet another project A Netflix renewal and rights extension is among a set of new deals for Bagdasarian Productions’ CG animated series ALVINNN!!! and the Chipmunks. Netflix has confirmed additional licensing of the franchise, which has been on the platform since 2016. In addition to renewing seasons one and two, Netflix signed on for seasons three and four worldwide (excluding the U.S., LatAm, Germany, France, China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan). Radha Mohan gets a release date on Zee World Earlier in the year, Zee World unveiled a batch of productions set to rollout on the channel later in the year and one of shows on topic include the above-mentioned Radha Mohan which is set to premiere from April 8th. In modern-day Vrindavan, Mohan, a charming flute player, loses his spark post a tragedy. Radha, who admires him since her childhood days, decides to remind him of his true love, Lord Krishna. Ice Adonis expands to StarTimes Stories and triangles revolving a

Telemundo launched in the African market 9 years ago supplying the best stories from Latin America and Mexico. Some of the shows included Behind Closed Doors, Ana's Revenge and A Passion For Revenge with super series like Iron Rose and Lord Of The Skies. Over the years, the channel has garnered traction for its repeat padded lineup particularly with the anthology Decisions and on/off relationship with Fearless Heart and My Heart Beats For Lola. Although some may have preferences about repeats, a lot of TV channels have engaged in similar antics and it's not like everyone is at home at the times these rebroadcasts come on so to some it may be a eyesore but to others it gives them time to catch-up. The list of shows expected for the channel include: - Operation Pacific (Operación Pacífico) Inspired by real-life events, Amalia Ortega, a prominent and brilliant federal agent who leads an investigative unit for the national police. - The Fan (La Fan) Tells the story of a c

NBCUniversal, the parent company behind Telemundo has been cutting back on content spend across their linear platforms. It's what's led to Bravo's inclusion on E! with Below Deck and Vanderpump Rules and Telemundo with Nurses and The Chosen Granddaughter. During the month, Telemundo unveiled another production from RCN Television which is basically in charge of the above-mentioned shows alongside the latest addition, Until Money Do Us Part with Ana's Revenge from Caracol Television (Hidden Passions). With the main network based in Latin America still building their original portfolio. Telemundo will continue to license content from these properties in the meantime. Some of the content in question for the platform include: 1. The Story (Te La Dedico) Adriana and Wilson are a couple who live from music, their dream is to be recognized and soon they are given the opportunity when a production company, headed by Henry Bedoya, launches a competition in which they com
