From October 15th, MultiChoice will be breaking hearts of several children and family members as Da Vinci Kids is scheduled to exit their platforms after 3 years with the pay-tv operator failing to communicate with the media beforehand about the changes. Da Vinci Kids was added in 2019 on the DStv platform in the midst of a carriage feud with A+E Networks for Lifetime and History with CuriosityStream (now Curiosity Channel) and CBS Justice added in the midst of that dispute. The channel was once available on the Openview platform and was much repetitive but thanks to its acquisition in 2020. Da Vinci Kids managed to be an elite with shows like Odd Squad, Animal Rescue, Xploration DIY SCI, Bajillionaires and Detention Adventures. Unfortunately all of that wasn't enough to retain the channel on their platforms as some sources mention that the channel didn't fit into their 5 year content strategy whatever that is but it's closure brings the total number of terminations

Not all cartoons have to be about superheroes, space adventures, or anthropomorphic animals. Sometimes, it's enough to tell the story of one kid, his friends, and the town they're growing up in. Such is the case with Doug, the 1991 animated series about a boy who loves his dog, his banjo, and hanging out with his best friend Skeeter at the Honker Burger. Doug is entirely original, not based on a comic book, toyline, or movie property, like so many other cartoons of the 1990s. It was one of the first Nicktoons, along with Ren & Stimpy and Rugrats, and was so extensively developed, it had a show bible that detailed the floor plans of its characters' houses. Today, Doug is remembered for its stylish animation, heartfelt storytelling, and unconventional soundtrack. Yet much of Doug goes over the heads of its youngest viewers. From the subtlest character choices to the most overt references, these are the Doug details only adults appreciate. Dear Diary... Douglas Yancey F

The Loud House follows a group of 11 siblings and their parents as they embark on several escapades that leads to self discovery and often moral values. It currently ranks as the second most popular show on Nickelodeon joining SpongeBob SquarePants. Currently in its fifth season with a sixth season currently in production. The show debuted in Africa by 2013 and caused quite a stir between 2015-2017 from several African markets primarily Nigeria and Kenya which led to the exemption of the show not only in these regions but across Africa. It wasn't long until The Loud House made its miraculous return alongside several other crammed shows which were victims to these laws such as Bubble Guppies and Legend Of Korra. Of course, this was only applicable to consumers in South Africa as there's no law prohibiting same sex relationships. Nicktoons wasn't able to get the show until at least 2021 basically 8 years. Of course, when it did manage to launch the channel underwent sev
