Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

During the month, Canal+ Group's CEO was interviewed by News24 about the impending outcome awaiting MultiChoice. He mentioned that there aren't any plans to launch a SuperSport package or let consumers choose channels as it had been proven to fail. This comes after the board had given them approval over remaining shares on MultiChoice. As the companies are working on a possible restructure to present to local legislation. DStv is known to over 100 channels that consist of sports, movies, drama series, reality shows, cartoons and news. From our understanding, a majority of audiences can only watch a select amount of entertainment at such a short time.  They would be The Super Mario Movie at 14:30 on M-Net Movies 1 followed by Along Came Love at 16:00 on TLNovelas. Only the average viewer can watch 1 channel on a daily basis while others can view daytime repeats with more available to browse on DStv Catch Up. As much as some would hope that DStv could give them the o

Not long ago, Canal+  had been granted permission to acquire remaining shares in MultiChoice after owning at least 45% of the company . They are still awaiting approval from various parties with talks of a restructure currently underway.  Earlier in the year, Canal+ had mentioned that they intend to keep MultiChoice on the JSE but are looking to get their own local listing. This was sort of a hint that MultiChoice could be spun off with some assets under French management.  One of the most notable guesses within this scenario is that Canal+ will most likely get MultiChoice's pay-tv license and this would include DStv alongside various linear channels. This would be managed alongside a BEE partner as required by law. Other assets which would also be managed would include MultiChoice Studios and SuperSportBET as these are basic pillars of that offering. Then the other portion would have Showmax, DStv Glass, Namola and other home services.  Canal+ Group's revenue had

Canal+ Group is a French based pay-tv provider operated by Vivendi that distribute various films, series and TV channels. Not long ago, Canal+ had been granted permission to acquire remaining shares in MultiChoice after owning at least 45% of the company .  Formerly serving as a rival to MultiChoice's endeavors within the African market. Canal+ comes with its own pay-tv platforms for consumers within Francophone Africa particularly Ghana, Ethopia, Ivory Coast and Niger. Similar to DStv, the content seen on these packages vary immensely depending on the region. If DStv was looking to integrate with Canal+ questions amount to how the French broadcaster intends to do such. The first known as Canal+ Afrique offers brands like Africa Magic Epic, SuperSport La Liga and Zee World while Canal+ Ethopia offers Telemundo, Star Life and KIX. All of which are on DStv and should a merger occur this could lead to less channels. Both packages offer Canal+ Cinema with the elephant in

Statement regarding Digital TV Europe Digital TV Europe was launched just over 40 years ago. Originally published as Cable & Satellite Europe, in those distant pre-internet days exclusively as a monthly print magazine, it provided news, features, analysis and data about the nascent multichannel TV industry. Cable & Satellite Europe, morphing into Digital TV Europe, has therefore covered the European multichannel TV business almost from the beginning, Eutelsat having launched the first European direct-to-home satellite channel a couple of years before our first print issue appeared. The title was around for the launch of Canal+’s terrestrial pay TV service, the launch of Sky TV by Rupert Murdoch and its doomed rival BSB, and the near simultaneous launches of Canal+/Bertelsmann/Kirch Group-backed services such as Premiere in Germany and Telepiù in Italy. It also covered the flawed franchising and rollout of cable TV in the UK (and the debt-financed attempts to bring a

Canal+ Group is a French based pay-tv provider operated by Vivendi that distribute various films, series and TV channels. Not long ago, Canal+ had been granted permission to acquire remaining shares in MultiChoice after owning at least 45% of the company .  Now both parties seek to fight regulatory hurdles which limit the broadcasting license of a foreign entity in order to get this approved. Canal+ is looking to shape MultiChoice into a global powerhouse against the likes of Disney and Netflix. As we've discussed time and time again, both these companies have rivaling assets all of which would be subjected to a merger and will be trialed for. These would lead to a reduction of content and services while the Canal+ side of things garners more reach. Despite Canal+ already serving 8 million households in Francophone Africa all of these operations are handled by Canal+ in France. Based on MultiChoice's audience reach, Canal+ could build its own division as seen in P
