Mzansi Magic is set to rollout Champions a sports based drama starring Sello Maake ka-Ncube, Tumisho Masha, and Jo-anne Reyneke by early February. It brought various questions from consumers as the show will debut in the timeslot of The River. As several readers are aware, MultiChoice will be axing both 1Magic and Me prior to Champions debut. For several days, media outlets had been wondering how MultiChoice plans to retain their black premium audience as 1Magic serves as the M-Net's BET channel. In ongoing conversations with the pay-tv company, it had been mentioned a replacement channel for specifically 1Magic was in development but no word on Me. Leading us to believe that M-Net and MultiChoice could be looking to merge these two channels. Compact+ has been declining in linear consumption for several years as MultiChoice moves channels like ESPN 2 and Comedy Central to lower tailored bouquets. If anything, it's only a matter of time till MultiChoice opts to di

On the 26th of February 2016, Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson collided on the ski slopes of Utah, USA. In the aftermath, Terry Sanderson sued Gwyneth Paltrow for over $300,000 in damages. It was a case of her word against his: who was at fault for the devastating crash? Battling it out in court, it was a celebrity trial that split public opinion. ‘Essentially the only two people in this world who know the truth are Gwyneth Paltrow and Terry Sanderson,’ as Legal Commentator Terri Austin puts it, ‘determining who was the uphill skier and who was the downhill skier is the $300,000 question in this case’.       Now, the sensational trial of Sanderson vs. Paltrow is laid out to bare in the brand-new documentary Gwyneth vs Terry: The Ski Crash Trial (available on TLC South Africa @ 22:00 CAT on Sunday, 21 January). With unique access to key players in the story, including a juror from the trial and key witnesses, this documentary provides the inside story of one of the most t

Investigation Discovery, the leading true crime network, has launched a new chapter in the twisted family saga of Natalia Grace Barnett, THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE: NATALIA SPEAKS, which will premiere in Africa on Sunday, 28 January.   Picking up where the shocking finale of THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE left off, NATALIA SPEAKS dives headfirst into the questions, controversies, and secrets unearthed in the first instalment, but this time, Natalia shares her side of the story. The six-part docuseries will also showcase an extensive, emotional sit-down between Natalia and her adoptive father, Michael Barnett, as they sit face-to-face for the first time and come to terms with the accusations that have been thrown around in both directions. THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE: NATALIA SPEAKS will premiere two new episodes every Sunday at 21:00 CAT starting on 28 January and continuing through 11 February.   “When THE CURIOUS CASE OF NATALIA GRACE premiered in 2023, au

Update: the channels will close 31 March 2024 and for an updated statement: click here   MultiChoice is set to axe an additional two channels by early February, 1Magic and Me . The pay-tv company remains discrete on further information pertaining to these brands and have gone as far as hiding this news from DStv consumers until later this week. In ongoing conversations with the pay-tv company, it was revealed that 1Magic will be replaced with another channel unlike Me. Considering that these terminations sort of affect consumers on the Family and Compact bouquet it's likely that this channel will be accessible to them. Following the cancellation of 1Magic, there had been questions pertaining on how MultiChoice intended to distribute The Real Housewives and retain their black premium subscribers who'd view content like Power Book 4: Force Beat Shazam and 1802: Love Defies Time. As I hypothesised in early stories, MultiChoice and M-Net are probably looking to subs

Housing TV Africa will have 65% housing related contents, leaving the remaining 35% to contents around educative, political, sports, religion, entertainment, among others. Basically, it will not only be duplicating The Home Channel but Soweto TV as well. In other develo
