This news came from another African market and not South Africa but I'm certain that it includes every other market considering the state of both channels. At the beginning of September, Disney Channel started airing shows from Disney XD so they kind of gave it away at that point while FOX Life is replacing the remaining telenovelas with repeats of past reality shows. MultiChoice will be adding TLNovelas and from what I remember FOX Life supplied content from there so that should make a fine replacement for the FOX Life channel while Disney XD doesn't need replacing since Disney Channel will now supply content from that channel. Disney XD launched in the early 2010s on DStv and kind of outshined Disney Channel in a way since most children prefer animation as opposed to sitcoms. I wasn't a fan of XD because it made it easier for Disney Channel to cancel programs. Now that XD will be off the market Disney Channel will have to work extra hard to please viewe

MultiChoice had a showcase were these 5 channels were unveiled which can explain their staff's cluelessness over its existence.

EVA owned by AMC International, is the home of the very best contemporary telenovelas from Latin America and around the world, starring the "newest" and most brilliant actresses and actors form Latin America tv. A potent mix of love, jealousy and betrayal. The channel launched 5 years ago on DStv channel 141 with shows from Azteca TV, Venevision and Caracol Television. In 2017, MultiChoice Africa (not South Africa) decided to add a second EVA channel (EVA+) for those without EVA kind of like what ViacomCBS had with the two BET channels on DStv. At the time that plus channel had 90% repeats. AMC International is seemingly neglecting the EVA channels for starters the main channel mostly has double bill of Bold for fresh entertainment other than that it's repeats while EVA+ is a just a catch-up channel. If EVA is still breathing it's more likely for Bold and the Beautiful. MultiChoice had plenty of channels in EVA's position like Sony Channel and Sony

Fashion One (DStv 178) that has been running outdated and old content on a loop, abruptly stopped broadcasting without warning a few days ago. MultiChoice that tried to engage the Fashion One owners has removed Fashion One with immediate effect from the DStv line-up. Even StarSat and StarTimes scrapped the Fashion channels as well but does anyone really care. At the moment, DStv subscribers are still trying to digest the changes made with M-Net Movies and SuperSport while StarTimes subscribers act as if nothing happened on top of StarTimes scrapping all the channels from SPI International . A dead source suggested that a replacement was being considered for DStv and StarTimes but it doesn't look like neither platform care about replacing it. MultiChoice redirects viewers to Spice TV, TLC and E! while StarTimes remains unresponsive as usual.

Ever since the launch of Disney+, several markets have been shutting down a couple of Disney Channels due to that platforms existence. According to The Information , Disney would be investing more towards Disney+ on top of that take a couple of programs from other channels and move them to that streaming platform leaving less content for the current channels. So the whole shutting of Disney channels was being discussed since 2019 internationally and the pandemic might have moved up the inevitable. Since Disney+ rollout a lot of markets have been throwing Disney XD in the gutter while others like the UK canned all the whole batch of Disney Channels with India replacing it with Marvel HQ. Marvel HQ, the home to all things Marvel made its way to India. It looked like this channel was set to be the future of Disney XD. Disney India stated that Marvel HQ will rollout elsewhere depending on the demand in the market . If you visit Disney XD YouTube channel for Germany and

A month ago, MultiChoice unveiled 5 new "pop-up channels" at the DStv Showcase. These channels were just sneak peeks which would answer your question on why customer care was clueless about its existence on the platform. Each channel rollouts within a 3 month period. The first channel set to roll out on viewer's screens will be Televisa. tlnovelas (currently available on StarTimes/Starsat) offers a huge array of English-dubbed Mexican telenovelas from Latin America's second-largest producer, Televisa. MultiChoice and StarTimes have the awful and overrated channel FOX Life supplying content from Televisa. To make it worse FOX Life hits the repeat button after the current telenovelas so there's no need to have that useless FOX channel if tlnovelas exists. Unlike StarTimes, tlnovelas will be available from the 14th of September 2020 until August 2021 on DStv channel 133. This pop-up format might apply to South Africa and a few other African ma
