Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

Aktüel Televisyonu (Actual Television often stylised as aTV) is a Turkey's most popular entertainment channel which is owned by Kaylon Group. Besides Turkey, the channel is viewable in some parts of Europe. aTV is home to shows viewers may be familiar with through Timeless Dizi Channel such as Black Money Love (Kara Para Ask), The Red Scarf (Al Yazmalım), Karadayi, The End (Son) and Ezel. Last year, MultiChoice rolled out three telenovela channels out of those channels only 1 didn't have any original content in this case Timeless Dizi Channel. So maybe viewership had nothing to do with its demise but originality the second last channel in Dizi's position being Glow TV was told that they weren't performing well and MultiChoice refused to provide any stats. Thereafter Star Life comes in with original content part of which have been viewable on Glow TV. Perhaps the reason for MultiChoice not wanting such channels is due to streaming since most of their partners ar

Kuiertyd was introduced in October 2018 on eExtra offering a mix of reality, lifestyle and drama series from kykNET as well as some Turkish dramas which was the reason for the Afrikaans block's success. The first dubbed Turkish show Gebroke Harte (Paramparca) pulled almost half a million viewers following its debut on eExtra. From what I remember these dramas didn't get this much attention when they were available in English. So pretty much eMedia Investments is the reason Afrikaans folks are giving dubbed programming a chance. From what I remembered most would either 7de Laan or binge watch Devious Maids or Game Of Thrones. Besides distributing international content, eMedia Investments has catalogue of original programming ranging from Imbewu, Rhythm City and Scandal. If you look at these dramas none of them are in Afrikaans so dubbing these Turkish dramas is sort of their way of making up for the times wasted and eMedia doesn't have any of its own Afrikaans reality sh

Discovery Channel: Three Men Four Wheels From Friday 6 August at 21:00 Antique and classic car dealer Drew Pritchard, motoring broadcaster Andy Jaye and racing driver Marino Franchitti always argue over what are the greatest racing cars of all time. Now they want to settle those arguments once and for all, one car at a time. In each episode of this turbo- charged series, one of them champions an iconic racing car that they believe is an all-time great. Then they all pitch in; arguing, joking around, learning the history, and having a good poke around under the hood. The series reveals the story behind the cars, talks to the people who own or drove them, then hits the track as the lads put every car through its paces. From the most successful F1 car ever, to a classic which reduces Drew to tears, to a Hot Rod that sets fire to the track - each vehicle is an amazing racing machine, but which ones will the boys agree are the greatest of all time?

On top of the news that MultiChoice plans to rollout an East African movie channel I mentioned earlier called Maisha Magic Movies . It looks like they want to compliment the offering with Maisha Magic. Maisha Magic Plus is the Kenyan version of Mzansi Wethu which features a variety of local series including Selena Kona, Kiva, Sol Family and Hullaballo Estate. This one has been active in Kenya since 2020. Maisha Magic Plus is a new East African movie channel MultiChoice was hyping about in their FY22 presentation. According to the guide, the channel will showcase the best of Ugandan, Tanzanian and Kenyan films so yeah it exists to compliment Africa Magic Epic. Details on the dates and channel numbers will be unveiled VERY SOON. From what I can tell both channels won't be available in HD and it seems more likely for them to be available in Southern Africa since most of the series isn't viewable on Novela Magic while the movies can't be distributed on Africa Magic since it&

A month ago, WarnerMedia announced that they were replacing TNT with Warner TV in Germany from September with other European markets expected to follow gradually. Well gradually came in quick as Romania and Poland will be canning their TNT channels together a month later and also around the 20s like Germany. TNT launched back in 2015 to replace the outdated but ever successful TCM in those regions just like Africa they were also used for movies. Now they're getting out of their comfort zone for the generic, Warner TV which is said to position itself as a brand for its unique story, first-class content and remarkable storytelling. Basically, it's taking content already available on M-Net and their streaming service Showmax ranging from HBO, The CW, TNT and Adult Swim, and putting them under one hub. The possible exiting of the ever so modern TNT Africa does raise questions for the additional offering available being AEW Dynamite and TNT Original Movies. All evolutions o

FashionTV is an international fashion and lifestyle broadcasting channel offering a review of global fashion and is independently owned and operated from the headquarters in Paris, London and Vienna. The channel was removed from DStv later in 2016 in favour of its sister channel, Fashion One and thereafter the channel went blank in 2020 and StarTimes tried contacting them with no luck they kicked it to the curb. Now the channel returns to StarTimes as a replacement for the irrelevant FashionBOX channel owned by SPI International who are also in charge of Timeless Dizi Channel, Filmbox and Gametoon. As usual, StarTimes failed once again to inform the media about these changes while the owners of FashionTV remain quiet on this channel as well as Fashion One's blackout. The channel launches 15 July on StarSat channel 282. It might be available on other platforms in future.

The Walt Disney Company announced plans to shut down its pay-TV channels Fox and Disney Junior in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland on September 30. The films, series, and other programs will transition over to streaming service Disney+. Disney+ is not available in South Africa as yet but with these new African productions coming . It won't pose much of a shock if we're part of their 2022 rollout. More markets are closing down their Disney Channels as the CEO announced sometime back the goal is to close 100 international Disney Channels (even highlighted Africa) and they'll continue at a robust rate. The Walt Disney Company took Disney XD and FOX Life away from Africa with FOX, National Geographic, National Geographic Wild, ESPN 1 & 2, Disney Channel and Disney Junior remaining. Around the closures, it was announced that Disney was doing away with FOX name. We got to see Korea find an alternative name while Latin America renamed it into Star which is a section o

In the financial year end of March 2021, MultiChoice unveiled two channels the first being an entertainment channel for Mozambique with the other being a movie channel for East Africa. It looks like the movie channel will be launching soon there's no reason for it to not be this channel seeing as they have large stack of fresh movies from 2020 featuring a ton of African stars. For some strange reason the channel is using the name Pearl Magic which exists in Uganda so this may be a placeholder name for something surrounding that brand or it could be put under brand well-known by Kenya and Tanzania which is Maisha Magic since both are located in East Africa. Now the question remains on why such channel is popping up in Southern Africa's airwaves. Could it be possible that MultiChoice SA and other parts of Africa are planning to ignite some of their brands. West and East of Africa has got channels from the other parts of Africa while our market hasn't gotten any from one p

A week ago, eMedia Investments' "possible details" of the brand's upcoming streaming service, eVOD which is scheduled to be released sometime in July surfaced the net. With this possible leak, could we possibly see a last minute rollout of the service or a possible delay as this wasn't the first time something related to the brand surfaced the net. In 2017, e.tv's 4 new channels at the time were listed on their website with DStv channel numbers with DStv adding them to their i-Plate section before eventually rolling them onto the platform. With the help of a certain user, I got to analyse each of the possible details for eVOD. For starters, there's no international series present on this app (apparently Kuiertyd dubbed soaps are listed as local) which wouldn't come as a shock if it's true. Telkom did mention in their interview it was hard securing rights to SABC 3 due to all the international programming available on there so maybe eMedia will
