Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

Ever since the French broadcaster made an entry to Africa. They've made a name for themselves after acquiring Nigeria's ROK and IROKO Studios even maintaining a 70% stake in Dizi and FilmBox's parent company SPI InternationaI . The thing that intrigued the media mostly about Canal+ is their objective with MultiChoice. They currently own a 15% stake and attempted to acquire their African counterpart several years back. It doesn't look like they're ready to back down as they've slowly been obtaining a portion of the brand. With their current stake they've managed to get 1Magic alongside several DStv channels to their own platform in various regions. Seeing that Canal+ cater for French speaking territories it only seems logical for there to be a lack of channels or at least in markets that aren't familiar with this group. Through a private website you have a file for a channel owned by Canal+ titled "A+ Afrique Test". It may seem like nothing

Zee TV and eMedia are inseparable If you think the Indian offering is overcrowded on Openview well matters only get worse from there when two channels from different stables offer the same programming. The Heir formed part of Zee One's launch schedule and launched days later on eExtra. Both channels are eating from the same dinner but with eExtra playing third wheel to Zee TV it only seemed logical for them to source out other programming. At the moment, that doesn't seem to be the case or at least not initially as eExtra has Surrender In Love and Naagin with Zee One getting Guddan, Lies Of The Heart and Reach For The Stars. Kuiertyd bouncing back Following the launch of eVOD, eExtra has seen a decline in weekend repeats of Kuiertyd. Feeling concerned, viewers reached out to a source who was close to the matter. According to them, this is part of a review in the channel's offering seeing that repeats don't get high ratings why waste time on repeats. Similar to e.

As reported earlier in the year, the brand acquired rights to the Turkish romcom Erkenci Kus (now titled Droomvelore) starring Can Yaman as Jan and Demet Özdemir as Sanem who also stars in the upcoming Kuiertyd series Kamer 309 . Sanem is a young girl who works at her father's grocery store in hopes to become a famous writer one day. When her parents give her a choice to either get a proper job or an arranged marriage, Sanem gets a job in the advertising agency her sister works in. From there she meets her boss and love interest, Jan. Apparently, this may not be the only series to enter 2022. It looks the drugpin series Die Put from earlier this month will reportedly make its linear debut soon. Droom Velore will likely replace Deur Dik En Dun on e.tv knowing the channel it will bombard itself with repeats as viewers wait for its glamorous debut while eVOD Turkish repeat Die Put is shoved onto eExtra. Kuiertyd Premium which is likely where Die Put will be slotted seeing

Travel Channel is currently on autopilot through DStv as international markets have started aligning themselves with the main counterpart while others have pulled the rug under the channel. One of the longest running brands on Discovery offered leisure, lifestyle and other travel related programs is transitioning to horror which is probably part of a phase in rolling out Discovery+. As mentioned, several Travel Channels have closed down amidst the transition to horror and it wouldn't surprise me if the same fate awaited the brand in Africa. The channel has heavily been disregarded by the media including Discovery Inc which held a celebration for much younger brands TLC and ID this month. On top of that ignorance is usually the first signs in terminations at Discovery. Earlier this year, it was reported that Discovery Family might end as a linear channel in Africa following its termination on StarSat of course details surrounding the termination remain a mystery. Either Dis

After a year, SABC Education revised their schedule to further bolster their offering with reruns of Skeem Saam making their way to the channel and themes being broadcast daily . What started out as another Mindset transitioned to cater for SABC 1-3 audiences with a mini kids slot taking up a portion of the schedule reducing the initial audience. Evidently, SABC hoped to the Department Of Education would assist them in getting this channel off the ground. If they succeeded the lineup wouldn't have appeared the way it did. Chances were they wouldn't be much channel space for all the programming seen on SABC 1-3 so SABC Children could have been the preschool counterpart that put the effort on children aged 2-14. My hunch can be proven If you visit their former media accounts or download the Tuluntulu app, you see they're multilingual on top of promoting content already seen through SABC Education. If this brand is fortunate enough to become a linear station. Don't

It's been 9 months since SABC and eMedia Investments extended their agreement to include three additional channels and 19 radio stations on Openview and 4 months since the media has been awaiting more details on the channels. The SABC and eMedia Investments promised to unveil more details about the other two channels coming to Openview before the end of June and several months have pass with no update. One of the two were speculated to be SABC Encore. When you look at the whole thing they've been mentioned or spotted by the media on several occasions like the radio interview or that funeral service. Besides that, a channel registered under the name SABC Entertainment came up which was the original name for the Encore only for it to be removed in favour of the kiddies brand, SABC Children . Now that kiddies has been merged with SABC Encore as seen below. SABC offers three free-to-air channels which carry local and international programming ranging from dramas, soaps, re

West Africa has been providing content to MultiChoice for the past 18 years through Africa Magic catering English, Igbos, Hausa and Yoruba audiences with their 7 TV stations. Several noticed there wasn't a channel catering to the forest regions of Nigeria being Ijaws so they've been pitching the idea of an Africa Magic Ijaw to MultiChoice for a while now. With MultiChoice more focused in the African market this concept seems probable if it were to have content to call its own perhaps Africa Magic wouldn't be an appropriate branding as it creates competition to AM Showcase. kykNET and kykNET NOU! have been dishing their own content without fighting tooth and nail.

After 18 years, Ellen is calling it quits for her infamous talk show which can be seen on the recently launched Me channel which serves as a replacement for the former youth brand, VUZU. The show witnessed a drop in viewership following allegations regarding the work environment and M-Net even got to a point where The Kelly Clarkson Show was slotted in its timeslot last year. With the talk show's demise scheduled for 2022 it's obvious M-Net will have to find another program to fill up that timeslot. Maybe The Kelly Clarkson Show from M-Net or Dr. Phil from Mzansi Magic will move to Me on a permanent basis or could a newcomer perhaps The Drew Barrymore Show take up the spot. The Kelly Clarkson Show is a fun, energetic show that breaks with tradition. In each episode audiences will experience an hour full of remarkable stories, celebrity guests, spontaneous surprises, humor, heart and, of course, good music. Dr. Phil covers a wide variety of topics including weight loss,

It's a very interesting and prosperous time across the wrestling industry right now. At no time before were there more wrestling promotions on major TV networks, giving more wrestlers the chance at a big stage in front of millions. And at no time have more non-traditional or even underseen wrestlers been given a shot at the main event scene. Of course, no group of wrestlers has seen a bigger rise up the ranks like the women of the industry, who have shattered through the glass ceiling of Bra & Panty matches and silent valets to main eventing WrestleMania. This renaissance of women's wrestling has now reached the apex, as there will now be an entire show featuring solely women's wrestling on major TV networks with the announcement that the recently shuttered promotion WOW – Women of Wrestling will be returning in 2022 and on major television networks in 160 U.S. markets in a new deal with ViacomCBS.
