ViacomCBS: Could BET Africa Be On The Chopping Block?

Image
BET has been available in Africa for nearly a decade offering a range of shows such as Real Husbands Of Hollywood, The Wendy Williams Show, Being Mary Jane and The Westbrooks. As years passed, BET has slowly become redundant with most of their lineup consisting of repeats. Wendy which serves as the sole purpose of the brand is often M.I.A. Earlier this year, Monde Twala, senior vice president and general manager for ViacomCBS Networks Africa and peer lead BET International, announced the end of BET as a linear pay-TV channel in the UK as they divert the brand's focus toward streaming. It wouldn't surprise me if the same fate awaited BET in Africa perhaps it will even have more success online than it could as a linear service as ViacomCBS continues rolling out Paramount+ across Europe.

Could Nismedia's Controversial Glow TV Return To Openview And DStv?

Image
In 2018, MultiChoice got into a brawl with Nismedia regarding the carriage agreement for Glow TV and three years later, eMedia Investments in charge of Openview gets into a similar scandal with the company. In July, they were rumours swirling around that Star Life would stop airing on Openview and that an eBella type channel would launch in its place (coincidence). Just like MultiChoice, Nismedia has filed a case against eMedia for breaching their contract which was set to expire in February 2023. There's no indicator on how true any of this but not long ago VIU took the same action making eMedia look unprofessional. Through court documents similar to the one for MultiChoice, they request that the channel remain on Openview until the whole matter is resolved. Nazeer Noormohamed who serves as the CEO of the channel alongside the production staff and several fans have been invading several platforms to vent out their frustration. According to the CEO, the court could ta

African Animation Network Rolls Out As A Programming Block With Plans For A 24/7 Station Still Underway

The AAN will first roll out a one-hour weekly edutainment block across networks in Africa at the end of this year, said its founder and head of projects and content Nick Wilson. The animation-focused programming block will be trialled for three months in partnership with, at present, around 11 partner broadcasters in Sub-Saharan Africa that cannot yet be named. “These broadcasters have a total audience reach of around 85 million viewers, and we’re conservatively estimating we can engage 8.5 to 12 million kids,” Wilson said. The ANN plans to secure investment to launch its own linear channel if the trial is successful. “We’re pretty bullish that we will get further investment to be able to run or at least build out a programme block or a 24/7 linear channel,” Wilson added. “We want to create a broadcast network across the continent, but we also want to work in partnership with the local broadcasters and assist them in building ecosystems. We do not want to be in competition wit
