The Possible Reason Behind eToonz, eMovies, eMovies Extra And eExtra's Demise On DStv

Image
MultiChoice has decided to part ways with the channels after almost 5 years following their failure to renew the contract with eMedia Investments for the channels. As some are aware, eMedia Investments hasn't been profiting from these brands ever since their induction on DStv. They went from earning earning over R200 million with eNCA to less than R150 when eExtra, eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz were added. During the years, the red brand has experienced their frustration with the pay-tv company. Take for instance the oral hearing set by ICASA, eMedia Investments boasted about how popular their channels were and MultiChoice not taking that into consideration left them with peanuts.

EVIL🔞: "Gloomy Sunday" The Song That Caused Suicides

Image
If you're under 18 then this isn't for you “Gloomy Sunday,” came to existence during one of history’s bleakest moments. Written in 1933 by Hungarian pianist and composer Reszõ Seress against the backdrop of the Great Depression and an increasing fascist influence in Hungary, and originally recorded in 1935 by Pál Kalmár, the song is something of a plea for mercy as humanity is at its worst. Seress’ original published lyrics were titled “Vége a világnak,” or “The World Is Ending,” and reflected a growing sense of horror and despair at the state of the world. A key sample lyric translates to “Meadows are coloured red with human blood/There are dead people on the streets everywhere,” just to give a frame of reference for the level of darkness that Seress’ composition harbored. No wonder it’s been blamed for anywhere between 17 and over 100 suicides. To hear “Gloomy Sunday” is to be blanketed in tragic beauty. The song’s minor key melody is at once incredibly catchy and ominously

RT, the Russian state-owned news channel formerly known as Russia Today, is no longer available on DStv, just one day after MultiChoice Group said it had no intention of canning it. But the decision was out of the pay-television broadcaster’s hands. Viewers who tune into DStv channel 407 – where RT is meant to be housed – are now greeted with a message saying the “channel is closed” and are encouraged to check the television guide for when it might open again. The closure of the channel was spotted on Wednesday evening. The channel also seems to have been suspended from the online streaming version of DStv. The channel’s disappearance comes a day after MultiChoice told this publication that it would not pull the channel of its pay-TV bouquets, despite an EU-wide ban and restrictions placed on it – and another Russian news broadcaster Sputnik – by technology giants including Google, YouTube, Microsoft, Meta Platforms and Twitter.
