When the Walt Disney Company purchased 20th Century Fox, one of the key assets was access to the Indian streaming service “Hotstar”, which was rebranded to Disney+ Hotstar early last year. Subscribers to Disney+ Hotstar make up over a third of the total number of subscribers to Disney+ globally. Earlier today, Disney announced some changes to its Disney+ Hotstar service, merging together the VIP and Premium content, while offering three price tiers, depending on if the subscriber is only watching on a mobile device or on multiple devices like 4K TVs. Disney+ Hotstar has a wide selection of original content, which is currently only available in India, but that is likely to change in the future, with some of the best original content available on Hulu in the United States or on Star On Disney+ internationally. During an interview with Variety, Sunil Rayan, president and head of Disney Plus Hotstar, has confirmed. “It is an objective for us that we want creators out of India to have

New Channel Alert (Rumor): SABC Entertainment And SABC Encore Might Be The Two Anticipated Entertainment Channels Coming Soon To Openview And TelkomOne And This Happens Admist Their 85 Year Anniversary

Image
As some viewers on Openview (and TelkomOne) wait impatiently for the SABC to unveil their two long awaited entertainment channels which was suppose to be announced in June. It seems people find their own means of recovering the info. A week ago, viewers spotted SABC Encore through TelkomOne which disappeared (for now) not to mention SABC hosted a funeral which highlighted the channel as well. According to a viewer, they spotted another SABC channel through LyngSat Intelsat 20 which goes by the name, SABC Entertainment and oh look even SABC Encore is tallying along. Another channel present but still under development is SABC Parliament which implies that SABC is more serious about adding channels . SABC Entertainment was the first name the public broadcaster had chosen for SABC Encore that was part of 5 year agreement they forged with MultiChoice where the channel would offer archived material from the SABC. According to sources, the only reason SABC Entertainment wasn&

How Warner Bros. Discovery Might Help With The Rollout Of HBO Max?

Image
Not long ago, WarnerMedia and Discovery announced they'd merge to form a new company which would bring Discovery Channel, Animal Planet and TLC as well as HBO, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim under one stable known simply as Warner Bros. Discovery. These companies also have their streaming services like HBO Max and Discovery+ in the United States and around the world. Now some countries like the UK, viewers have to wait till 2025 to get HBO Max due to a pending contract agreement with Sky. HBO also has an agreement with M-Net and Showmax so should it launch in the UK chances are Africa would have to wait for these contracts to expire. As mentioned earlier, WarnerMedia and Discovery are merging this new company could form another streaming service which offers the best of Discovery+ and HBO Max specifically in markets like the UK. By the time, HBO Max rolls out in the UK and possibly Africa people would have already been downloading all their content through torrent sites. This p

Supa TV Stops Airing On Openview After A Year

Image
On Monday afternoon, one of the presenters at Supa TV announced that the channel would stop airing on channel 150 from 30 July with no reason from either Openview or the channel about the sudden termination. Supa TV launched in May 2020 as an interactive TV channel that featured shows about betting, lifestyle and obviously sports e.g. Mo Sports, Supabeats and Supachats. My guess is Supabeats will go back to being a digital service with some content seen on Supa TV being uploaded onto YouTube. It wouldn't shock me if the next channels to go off air at some point is DBE TV and France24. Even though Supa TV will not be replaced, Openview is in the process of launching two entertainment channels from the SABC one of which are rumored to be SABC Encore following the launch of SABC Sport and their 19 radio stations in April. On top of that, eMedia Investments is scheduled to launch their streaming, eVOD which might follow TelkomOne which isn't competing with Netflix or Showm
