CNN+, the streaming service that was hyped as one of the most significant developments in the history of CNN, will shut down on April 30, just one month after it launched. CNN+ customers "will receive prorated refunds of subscription fees," the company said. The decision was made by new management after CNN's former parent company, WarnerMedia, merged with Discovery to form Warner Bros. Discovery earlier this month.   The prior management team's vision for CNN+ runs counter to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav's plan to house all of the company's brands under one streaming service. Some CNN+ programming may eventually live on through that service. Other programming will shift to CNN's main television network. "In a complex streaming market, consumers want simplicity and an all-in service which provides a better experience and more value than stand-alone offerings, and, for the company, a more sustainable business model to drive our fut

Pablo continues on CBeebies BBC Children’s has greenlit a third season of CBeebies animated series Pablo, which has a new look and narrative focus to resonate with all kid viewers, not just those on the autism spectrum. The 52 x 11-minute season finds its titular star Pablo— now eight years old—heading off to school. (He was five at the end of season two.) Pablo’s older age will be reflected in the series’ animation style, which has moved away from a flat 2D look with the addition of mixed-media elements including 3D animation and photo-real textures.     Development of the third season was funded by BBC Children’s, NI Screen and CAKE, Pablo‘s international distributor.

MultiChoice ripped away e.tv from neighbouring countries leading more consumers to pirate the bulk of content with an Openview or eVOD to watch the bulk of content available on the channel while South African consumers will only lose the channels by the end of May. eMedia Investments engaged with the Competition Tribunal regarding their agreement with MultiChoice for these channels. As some consumers have noticed, some of their channels have been performing remarkably well even on bouquets like Premium and Compact.   Money wouldn't have been the root of their misery if MultiChoice learnt to play the cards right. According to several reports, before they could bundle more channels eMedia Investments was making close to half a billion which was reduced following the additions of these channels. Another incident involves eNCA and the defunct Afro Worldview, eNCA is the most watched news channel yet Afro Worldview made more than them. When interrogating MultiChoice, they onl

Nickelodeon is a channel known for many things they've usually been able to balance live-action with cartoons while making sure there's something for everyone. Things may have changed when they put all their eggs in a basket with SpongeBob SquarePants and The Loud House but you can't really blame them with how famous they are. Nickelodeon likes to play it safe, what they're currently offering isn't the same from what was seen a decade or two. Let's dive into one of the topics from the previous decade, NickGas. Nickelodeon's Games And Sports For Kids (NickGas), originally debuting on the main channel it served as a programming block airing what the name implies game shows. By 1999, they decided to turn this block into an official channel of the same name.   One of the most memorable shows there at the time was Nickelodeon's GUTS where players compete against each other in extreme sports. It was well received lasting a few years on air and getting

Earlier in the month, consumers in France were able to confirm that Discovery Family operated by the newly formed company Warner Bros. Discovery had allegedly been discontinued as of March 29, 2022 which is close to the time it launched in Africa. Just like Africa, Discovery Family wasn't a kids channel in France and offered content already viewed on other brands. From what I heard, the only reason it launched in France was because of how successful it was in Africa. Over the years, the channel has hit a bit of a dry spell but that's not the reason for its termination in France and very likely Africa. According to sources, Discovery Inc. made the decision to terminate the channel as part of their merger with WarnerMedia to form Warner Bros. Discovery.   A few weeks ago, there was somewhat of a leak about this company in terms of management and TLC was folded under WarnerMedia as they're in charge of general entertainment while Discovery Inc. manages the factual a
