According to sources, the channel will soon be added to MultiChoice's DStv and this had been rumoured since last year as a list of potential or scrapped DStv channels had surfaced alongside another post directed particularly at DreamWorks Channel where it's listed as pending . DreamWorks Channel being added onto the platform doesn't seem far fetched as MultiChoice already bundle several other channels from NBCUniversal including E!, Universal and the repeat padded Studio Universal with DreamWorks Channel following the same footsteps.

Zee World and Zee One are managed by the same people so it only seemed logical for something like this to happen. The only thing that kind of ties Star Life with Glow TV is the paint used for the channel's logos and poor offering. Zee World viewership statics goes as follows: Bollywood Movies - 1.0 Twist Of Fate (Rerun) - 1.4 King Of Hearts (Rerun) - 1.3 My Heart Knows - 2.1 These Streets - 1.4 I Do - 1.0 Twist Of Fate - 2.9 Once There Was A King - 2.0 Total: 9,4 million (excluding repeats and movies) Notes: - Became the second most watched channel in that period. - Bollywood movies and I Do hit a tie and are both the least watched. - None of Zee World's content has less than a million views making it the only brand to do so despite being a pay channel. - Twist Of Fate is still adored by fans of the channel on primetime even with reruns. - Zee World has the highest viewership for reruns (2.7 million).
