eExtra decided to pull the Turkish romcom Kamer 309 from its release schedule and a new air date is yet to be finalized. For now viewers can indulge in the crime mystery drama, Stiletto Vendetta (Ufak Tefek Cinayetler). Four beautiful, successful women - childhood friends that are brought back together as adults - have old scores to settled, and new rivalries set to develop. As teenagers, Arzu, Merve and Pelin played a cruel prank on their over-achieving best friend Oya, leaving her shamed, devastated and suicidal. Over the years the three remained close but didn’t hear again from Oya, never daring to make contact, fearing the worst - that they had driven her to take her own life. When fate brings the foursome back together, Oya is determined to get close to the women who threatened to ruin her life, and seek her final revenge. The series have many star names; Gökçe Bahadır, Aslı Gürbüz, Bade İşçil, Tülin Özen, Mert Fırat and many others. The series replaces Begeertes from Monday

Cartoon Network and Boomerang have kicked off 2021 with new original shows and local productions. WarnerMedia kids’ brands, Cartoon Network and Boomerang, continue to be firm favourites for African youth. Between 2019 and 2020, Cartoon Network’s reach increased by 10%, with more than 6m households tuning in. On the other hand, Boomerang also increased its reach by 31% – bringing the channel to over 5.5m households. With a combined share of 47% of the kids’ pay-TV channels viewing, the two brands account for almost half of the kids’ market. Cartoon Network Africa’s and Boomerang Africa’s audience ratings have improved over the past year, with the channels now ranking first and second amongst all kids’ pay-TV channels. Boomerang’s performance has grown by 50% in its year-on-year performance between 2019 and 2020.

Timeless Dizi Channel (TDC/Dizi) made its way to Africa in mid 2020 to StarTimes just like tvN on DStv which offers the content in their original language with English subtitles the same thing has been lurking with the one on this platform. Eventually, a seperate version of the channel was made available on DStv with all the content dubbed in English. The odd thing here is the fact SPI International acknowledges the one on DStv even though the one on StarTimes is ahead with the programming. Dizi Africa has a website and a social media handle dedicated to the one on DStv perhaps they're looking at the bigger investor which is what led to the decision in the first place. Now StarTimes TDC will be adding an English audio to the channel very soon which is what DStv had from the very beginning. If the one on DStv included the original language with English subtitles is there a reason for these two cable providers to still provide alternate versions of the same channel. There i

The Ministry of Communications and Digital Technologies has announced that together with broadcasters, it has started with the phased switch-off of analogue television transmitters in the Free State. This follows President Cyril Ramaphosa’s announcement during the State of the Nation Address last month that the phased switch-off of analogue TV transmitters would begin this month. The department said it is anticipated that this process, which will be done on a province-by-province basis, will be completed by the end of March 2022. On Monday the analogue signal was switched off in Boesmanskop and surrounding towns in the Xhariep District Municipality, the department said. This will be followed by Ladybrand and surrounding towns on Tuesday. “The switch-off in each province will be systematic and in phases, moving from one analogue transmitter coverage area to the other, until all district municipalities within the province are completed,” the department said. The department is workin

As much as the word 'new' flies around on screen this one will shock those with access to Zee World. It will benefit those without the channel and likely those who've watched it. Zee World viewers knew it as Fire & Ice now eExtra will introduce it under the title Dare To Leave. Dare To Love (Tashan-E-Ishq) follows the story of Twinkle Taneja, (who is beautiful, blunt and outgoing) and Yuvraj Luthra, (who is fearless, pompous and impulsive). The two love each other, and would've gotten married had it not been for their mothers. The series starred Sidhant Gupta, Jasmin Bhasin and Zain Imam. During its debut in 2015, the show won two awards. The benefit to this new repeat is that you might get the uncensored and original dubbed voices under the Zee TV branding instead of the re-edited version from Zee World. The series replaces Bepannah weekdays at 15:45 from 22 March Read Also: - Is a rebrand under way for the eMedia set of channels? - Kamer 309 is anot
