Recap: More Cancellations Awaiting The CW As 5 Original Shows Are Said To Be Moving Forward

Image
If you’re a fan of a CW show, it’s best if you read this news sitting down. Since the mass cancellation sweep in 2022, viewers have been on edge over the network’s future. For months, report after report has hit the Internet concerning CW’s new majority owner, Nexstar, and the company’s vision for its direction. Profitability has been the chief priority, hence the original series cuts that will effectively end the Arrowverse once The Flash bids farewell after its ninth season run. Shake-ups at Warner Bros Discovery have also put into question whether Superman & Lois will still have a home at The CW and if Justice U will move forward at all despite the series being in development. Ratings, which weren’t previously a major factor in whether an original series on the network got a renewal, are of the utmost importance. But if you pay attention to The CW’s viewership, it’s the worst performing of the Big 5 cable networks by a large margin. DStv Flex: -  Brand new seasons of your fa

More Bollywood Coming Soon To Openview Ultra??? As The Platform Bids Farewell To One Of The Oldest Channels On The Platform

Glow TV is South African based entertainment channel promoting Bollywood culture. It was Openview's first attempt at a competitor for the pay-tv oriented Zee World channel on the DStv platform with shows like Emperor Ahsoka, Little Bheem and Get Real With Denver Naicker. As advised by media outlets, eMedia Investments opted not to renew their agreement with Nismedia for the channel back in 2021 with Nismedia having to take legal routes to retain the channel for as long as the contract remained valid February 2023. Also mentioned at the time was that eMedia Investments added Zee One in an attempt to fill the gap left by Glow TV alongside Star Life managed to lure consumers away from the South African channel. eMedia Investments had begun conducting some tests in preparation for the launch of Openview Ultra which serves as the pay-tv tier to the current Openview platform with 4 test channels. The first already mentioned a while ago had SABC 2 and SABC 3 used as floor mats for

Openview Ultra: Here's What We Think About Ultraview Pride and Ultraview Indian

Image
To summarise, Openview has added 4 test channels on numbers 241, 242, 301 & 302. Although, there hasn't been a lot of frequent activity going around when clicking onto these channels but that doesn't mean there hasn't been any unusual activities. Take for instance, the 200s which were used for SABC 2 and SABC 3 as a full schedule was available at the time with the tag Ultraview Pride and finally the 300s which were categorised under the tag Ultraview Indian. Of course unlike Ultraview Indian, Pride doesn't give much of a summary as to what it's about for all we know the term could be another way to compliment the existing local offering on SABC and e.tv and another instance could LGBTQ. eMedia Investments: - More e.tv coming soon to DStv customers - Could SABC be unveiling another two channels for Openview Ultra? -  Glow TV to stop airing on the Openview platform from next month -  Could Openview+ lead to 24 hour capability of these channels?
