Cartoonito Is Coming!!! As Boomerang Africa Loses An Additional Two Hours Of Airtime And Possible Programming

Image
As you already know, another Boomerang feed will be closed down and supplemented with Cartoonito which is currently seen in this region as a programming block. In CEE, shows like Tom And Jerry, Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo are expected to rollout on Cartoon Network with Mr. Bean and Grizzy And The Lemmings residing with Cartoonito. The variations have differed in a lot of regions as Italy for starters offers Tom And Jerry with Latin America adding Scooby-Doo to the lineup. From an honest perspective, I wouldn't be shocked if the outcome seen on CEE was duplicated in EMEA. Although, there has yet to be news of a rebrand Warner has been adjusting Cartoonito's schedule and with this latest change I wouldn't be shocked if Boomerang were to be phased out before the end of the year especially with Batwheels debuting on the channel soon.

New Channel Alert (Rumour): More Channel Changes Coming Soon To DStv??? As Several Content From kykNET & Mzansi Magic Channels Uploaded Onto New Channels, SWiTCH

During the week, MultiChoice welcomed their first channel of the year Qwest TV by multi award winning artist Quincy Jones but is this is really an official channel I mean consumers were told beforehand about the channel's presence in the market and I feel it's more 2022. Now going to the official channels of 2023, MultiChoice and M-Net seem to be working on two new channels and trust me when I say these channels will definitely get a lot of your attention. At first I thought viewers were getting another Moja 9.9., kykNET Lekker, Magic Showcase, CineMagic, Nicktoons, Real Time, Discovery Family and Nicktoons but it turns out this maybe another Me channel. For those who weren't aware before Me, we had M-Net City and VUZU and this merger saw us rewatching the season last viewed on the two brands while others like Ellen had their entire season restarted and it appears these channels will be doing the same but for some of M-Net's local brands. The first channel has sh

eExtra, eMovies, eMovies Extra And eToonz Future On DStv Reportedly Revealed

Image
As mentioned a while back, MultiChoice was instructed to keep eExtra alongside eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz on the DStv platform for another 6 months and based on the timeframe it means that these channels are set to go dark by the end of January. Before I actually give my reasoning behind the timeframe let's look at the matter at hand. As seen last year, MultiChoice won their case with eMedia Investments and these channels were terminated successfully with other having to pay their expenses and few months later the roles were exchanged with 6 months included in this deal. My hypothesis was that the 6 months were as seen in society a jail sentence for the pay-tv company and worst of all the necessary alternatives such as Movie Room and DreamWorks were added while upcoming channels such as the rumoured/possibly scrapped Via+ channel . Take to account 31 January may not be the closing date but if you take to account the timeframe these channels were reinstated which is Au
