SABC Education Might Be Available In August On DStv And Possibly Starsat

Image
SABC launched an educational channel back in May on DTT and online platforms with more platforms scheduled to add it later. SABC Education has been seen on the test channel section through DStv channel 950 for almost two months now alongside Starsat platform where it's numbered through their website on channel 313 and available to those who carry the Max, Special and Super package. Recently, a viewer noticed that the channel no schedule on DStv starting from the 1st of August leading that individual to believe and possibly some viewers to believe that the channel will be made available on DStv by then. Both DStv, Starsat and SABC were asked on the status of the channel on the platforms with DStv redirecting clients to SABC, Starsat with its "stay tuned for more information" and SABC with its constant silence. My guess would be SABC Education launches tomorrow or sometime this month on channel 314 or more likely 316 and is made available to Easyview if

The Book Of Negroes Coming Soon To eExtra

Image
The Book of Negroes is a 2015 miniseries based on the 2007 novel of the same name by Canadian writer Lawrence Hill.The book was inspired by the British freeing and evacuation of former slaves, known as Black Loyalists, who had left rebel masters during the American Revolutionary War. The British transported some 3,000 Black Loyalists to Nova Scotia for resettlement, documenting their names in what was called the Book of Negroes. The series follows the life of a woman named Aminata Diallo who got kidnapped in Africa and subsequently enslaved in South Carolina where she must navigate a revolution in New York, isolation in Nova Scotia, and the treacherous jungles of Sierra Leone, in an attempt to secure her freedom in the eighteenth century. Aunjanue Ellis and Lyriq Bent take up the roles of Aminata Diallo and Chekura who are also a lead couple. The series made its debut on CBC in Canada and BET in the United States and Africa back in 2015. Since the series debut, the show

ESPN Classic, The Former DStv Channel

Image
THE HISTORY OF A FORMER DSTV CHANNEL ESPN Classic is an American multinational pay television network that is owned by ESPN Inc., a joint venture between The Walt Disney Company (which owns a controlling 80% stake) and Hearst Communications (which owns 20%). The channel was originally launched as the Classic Sports Network in 1995, and was acquired by ESPN in 1997. The network originally focused on carrying classic sporting events, other programs and documentaries, and live specials (such as the Baseball Hall of Fame induction ceremony) focusing on sports history. By the 2010s, due to the increasing number of sport-, league-, and college conference-specific networks that had assumed rights to the archive content that was historically aired by ESPN Classic, a larger amount of programming was devoted to archive content whose rights were owned by ESPN outright, reruns of recent events from ESPN's networks, as well as ESPN original documentaries, and overflow coverage of eve

ESPN Returning To DStv?

Image
There's rumors surfacing that the ESPN will make a comeback to DStv after being scrapped from the platform and Africa back in 2013. ESPN (originally an initialism for Entertainment and Sports Programming Network) is an American multinational basic cable sports channel owned by ESPN Inc., owned jointly by The Walt Disney Company (80%) and Hearst Communications (20%). The channel can also be found on StarSat in South Africa and StarTimes in the rest of Africa. ESPN broadcasts also airs a variety of sports highlight, talk, and documentary- styled shows including: F1, NRL, Olympics, MMA, NBA G League, Tennis, esports, Cycling, and more. According to one viewer, they saw an ad  stating that ESPN will launch on channel 218 with ESPN 2 launching on channel 219. When it comes to packages my guess would be ESPN will be made available on Compact+, Compact or Family with ESPN 2 being Access and if it's still an option Easyview.

DreamWorks To Be Added On StarSat In August

StarTimes Media is set to grow the kiddies lineup in the the month of August or September. The platform is set to add DreamWorks Channel which ran exclusively on Kwesé TV in Africa before it shuttered down. DreamWorks Channel, launched back in 2015 internationally the channel carries original programming which was funded by other platforms such as Netflix, Amazon and Nickelodeon. According to the info provided the channel will air All Hail King Julien, The Adventures Of Puss In Boots, Dawn Of The Croods, DreamWorks Dragons and all these series have already aired on Netflix, Showmax, Amazon, e.tv and eToonz. DreamWorks Channel is owned by NBCUniversal so it's not surprising that the content on this channel are repeats from other platforms even though it's their own programming. NBCUniversal owns Telemundo, Universal, AfricaNews, Studio Universal, CNBC and now has DreamWorks Channel. What's funny is Studio Universal is what you call a eMovies repeats
