Mindset Pop And ZNBC Education Stops Airing On DStv

Image
On December, 10 at 23:59 ZNBC Education (DStv channel 315) and Mindset POP (DStv channel 317) will go off air as the agreement states these channels were available for a limited period. A representative of DStv stated a few months back that Mindset POP was available on a full-time basis and you clearly see that's not the case. Of course the owners of the channel are hoping to continue the brand on another platform or they could move them to Mindset. ZNBC Education came in as a walking Mindset channel in the same market where that channel pretty much existed. It was helpful since Mindset couldn't cover certain learning areas. The content there was live as well like POP. Kids can look out for more developments in 2021 Even though, these channels will stopped being active you can view other safe and educational content on CBeebies (DStv channel 306), Disney Junior (DStv channel 309), JimJam (DStv channel 310), PBS Kids (DStv channel 313), ZooMoo (DStv channel 314), Da Vinci K

Image
The series graced Africa's screens when Telemundo made its successful debut in the market back in 2013 alongside Aurora, Behind Closed Doors, Precious Rose and the late bloomer The Del Monte Dynasty. The love Lola and Andres have for one another knows no boundaries. Hopeful with the idea of loving each other for eternity, they decide to elope to Las Vegas, confronting Andres’ family, who has always opposed their relationship. Little did they know that their decisions would bring about the greatest misfortune of their lives. Lola, in an act of rebellion against her aunt Chabela and her mother Soledad, who also oppose their love, escapes one night and gets a salamander tattooed on her back. The tattoo is a symbol of her love for Andres, who has called her “my salamander” since they met. Marcelo Santacruz, Andres’ father, puts him back in the military school from which he escaped, making sure that this time Andres is watched extra closely. As if this was not enough, Marcelo also sche

OpenView Launches Two Music Channels Without Notice

Image
At this point, both e.tv and OpenView are killing themselves with these last minute announcements and failure to engage with the media. Don't know who told them it was the brightest idea to leave the media out in the cold. Recently, viewers noticed that there's two music channels onboard which are SA Hits and Soul Playlist. SA Hits (Channel 135) will feature house music and possibly several other genres from Euphonik, DJ Zinhle, Mahoota, Master KG and more. Soul Playlist (Channel 136) will feature other genres on top of Jazz with artists ranging from Jamie Callum, Nina Simone, Diana Krall, Billie Holiday and many more. Both will launch as a pop-up channel on Friday, 4 December. You notice how they don't mention an end date so perhaps they're working towards having it full-time. Expect them to be more repetitive than the ones on DStv and local based as mentioned above. ---------------------------------------------------------- This festive season, Openview turns u

Unlike The U.S. Counterpart, Paramount Network Still Continues To Rollout In Another Region + It Might Launch In Africa

Image
Hungary became the latest victim in ViacomCBS revamp portfolio. Under these changes the male skewed channel, RTL Spike will convert into the teen based channel TeenNick with The Paramount Channel which was used for movies taking the best of RTL Spike and placing it under the Paramount Network. Back in September, ViacomCBS in the US announced that Paramount Network will convert into a movie channel next year under the name, Paramount Movies Network. At the time, it was currently unknown whether this would have some effect on the Paramount Networks around the world (guess not). The likely reason for Paramount Network continuation may have something to do with the upcoming rebrand for the streaming service CBS All Access which is set to be called Paramount+ later in the new year and also rollout in more countries. It's kind of like what Latin America is experiencing with the FOX branding which is getting replaced with Star. Disney is rolling out a mature version of Disney+ under t

Black Money Love Is Back On Another Station

Image
If you're reading then you guessed correctly, Black Money Love returns to Africa once again. The show made its debut on FOX Life (discontinued), eExtra, Novelas E Plus and now Timeless Dizi Channel. You must have a high level of tolerance if you're able to rewatch this whole story again. Black Money Love (Kara Para Ask), follows the life of Omer (Engin Akyurek) and Elif (Tuba Buyukustun) whose destinies cross after a death of their loved ones. They team up to track down the killer and meet a man who knows their secrets and is one step ahead of them. Since it's debut back in 2014, the show won 19 awards with 6 of them going to the lead actor and 5 going to the lead actress. The show's debut shouldn't surprise the media after all SPI International mentioned at their upfront last year and all markets that have this channel will likely get the same content at different times. So other shows that still have yet to air is 20 Minutes, Five Brothers, The End and The
