Sundance TV Stops Airing On DStv From June

MultiChoice doesn't stop with the surprises not only is SABC Encore and ITV Choice getting discontinued but also Sundance TV from AMC International.

Sundance TV launched in 2017 on DStv as a replacement channel for AMC. The only reason the channel existed was due to Fear The Walking Dead other than that there's pretty much nothing interesting on that channel it's basically another saturated TCM.

There's no details as yet on why these channels are getting scrapped it could have something to do with the pandemic as rumored for sometime that DStv is cutting back on costs. These channels were probably the first batch of channels set to go dark on the platform.

No replacements will be issued for these channels by the looks of it for those who watched Sundance they're being redirected to other movie channels, those with Encore will probably have to go back to SABC 1-3 and ITV Choice being BBC, M-Net and Universal. More channels will be added just not as placeholders for these channels.

Grown-Ish Coming Soon To e.tv

Created by Black-ish's Kenya Barris, the series is produced by Khalabo Ink Society, Wilmore Films, Cinema Gypsy Productions and Principalo-Young Entertainment, with Anthony Anderson, Brian Dobbins, and Helen Sugland acting as executive producers comes a series based on the eldest child of the Johnsons.

The Johnson family's firstborn daughter Zoey (Yara Shahidi) leaves the family to go to college. As she attends college while befriending some people, she discovers that her journey to adulthood and her departure from the family does not go the way she hoped. She will also be the narrator.

The series has spawned 3 seasons with a total of 42 episodes with a fourth season in the works.

Grownish airs Saturdays at 19:30 on e.tv from 31 May

SABC Encore Stops Airing On DStv After 5 Years

Yes, you heard correctly SABC Encore stops airing on DStv from June. The channel joins ITV Choice which is also set on DStv later in June.

SABC Encore was conceived through a 5 year agreement back in 2013 between SABC and MultiChoice. In this deal, SABC had to supply a news and entertainment channel. Both channels severed delays in their launch before they eventually launched on DStv.

SABC Encore was originally suppose to launch back in 2014 as SABC Entertainment. The channel along with SABC News were also part of DTT which is long overdue.

SABC originally plotted to launch 18 channels before downsizing their plans to 9 channels back in 2018 and Encore wasn't listed in those plans only SABC 1-3, Education and News were mentioned meaning it's possible that the SABC was planning to scrap the brand at the time another sign of its turmoil was it's Facebook account as it stopped being active early last year.

SABC went from 6 channels to just 5 again, for those who aren't aware SABC launched an educational channel through DTT platforms and online with plans to launch it on pay-tv platforms.

There's no reason yet as to why the channel is being scrapped maybe SABC and MultiChoice are cutting back on costs or MultiChoice no longer sees it viable to have it on the platform.

SABC also had another entertainment channel which outlived Encore called SABC Africa was also on DStv for at least 10 years before getting scrapped due to poor performance maybe that's the reason.

eNCA's News Segments Has Been Added To News And Sports On OpenView?

As always eMedia Investments the company that runs OpenView with its set of e.tv channels has a history of not informing the media on upcoming developments another unexpected arrival has made its way to OpenView.

News and Sports once known as OpenNews and e.tv News has added eNCA segments to the channel without any notice as eNCA 24/7 channel is available exclusively through the platform.

During the pandemic, News and Sports has run into some troubling times in both sections most of the time the channel airs Sports other than News then there came a time when they replayed old news and some foreign news segments on the channel faded away.

With sports put on hold the only active event is mainly wrestling with e.tv supplying Impact Wrestling and Xplosion alongside selected programs across their channels and SuperSport being WWE on DStv.

Recently both StarSat and OpenView acquired old Bundesliga matches which were once available on SuperSport in selected markets.
