Repeats Wednesday, at 22:00 CAT
From executive producers Dan Fogelman (Cars, Crazy, Stupid, Love) and Rick Singer (Younger), PITCH is the dramatic and inspirational story of a young pitcher who becomes the first woman to play Major League Baseball. A beautiful, tough and gifted athlete, Ginny Baker (Kylie Bunbury, Under the Dome) is vaulted into instant fame when she’s called up by the San Diego Padres to make her Major League debut.
Like any rookie, Ginny must prove herself to her teammates. Foremost among them is Mike Lawson (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Franklin & Bash, NYPD Blue), the team’s ruggedly handsome star catcher. There’s instant chemistry between them, although neither dares to admit it. After all, Mike is captain of the team and a few of his players don’t even want Ginny on the field. One of the players watching Ginny’s back is centre fielder Blip Sanders (Mo McRae, Sons of Anarchy), an old friend from the minor leagues, and his wife Evelyn (Meagan Holder, You Again, Bring it On: Fight to the Finish).

Guiding her is her agent/confidante, Amelia Slater (Ali Larter, Legends, Heroes). Amelia saw Ginny’s star potential early on and left her previous job as a Hollywood publicist to concentrate on the young phenom, bringing along her young assistant Eliot (Tim Jo, The Neighbors). Although groomed for this moment by her demanding father, Bill Baker (guest star Michael Beach, Sons of Anarchy), the end of Ginny’s improbable journey is the beginning of an almost impossible one: representing her gender as she embarks on a successful baseball career under the glare of the white-hot media spotlight.
The team’s manager, Al Luongo (Dan Lauria, The Wonder Years, Sullivan and Sons) and general manager Oscar Arguella (Mark Consuelos, All My Children) bicker over whether Ginny’s presence on the field is in the team’s best interests.
Playing in the major leagues is a goal hard enough for anyone to achieve – except this player is also a woman, who happens to be the most important historical figure in sports since Jackie Robinson. This season, Ginny Baker will be the other woman trying to break into one of the oldest and most exclusive men’s clubs in the country.

Repeats Monday, at 22:00 CAT
From Academy Award® nominee Lee Daniels (Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Precious) and Emmy® Award winner Danny Strong (Lee Daniels’ The Butler, Game Change), comes EMPIRE, a sexy and powerful new drama about the head of a music empire whose three sons and ex-wife all battle for his throne.

LUCIOUS LYON (Academy Award® nominee Terrence Howard, Crash, Hustle & Flow) is the king of hip-hop. An immensely talented artist, the CEO of Empire Entertainment and a former street thug, his reign has been unchallenged for years. But all that changes, when he learns he has a disease that is going to render him crippled and incapacitated in a matter of three years. The clock is ticking, and he must groom one of his three sons to take over his crowning achievement, without destroying his already fractured family.

Lucious’ favourite is his youngest son, HAKEEM (newcomer Bryshere Y. Gray), a gifted musician and a spoiled playboy who values fame over hard work. The middle son, JAMAL (Jussie Smollett, North, The Mighty Ducks), is a sensitive soul and a musical prodigy who, unlike Hakeem, shies away from the spotlight. Jamal also happens to be gay, which infuriates and embarrasses his father. ANDRE (Trai Byers, 90210), the eldest son, is CFO of Empire Entertainment. Wharton-educated with a brilliant business mind, Andre lacks the charisma that Lucious believes is crucial to running the company. But in his quest for power, Andre is assisted by his manipulative and like-minded wife, RHONDA (Kaitlin Doubleday, Hung, Catch Me If You Can).

As Lucious prompts his sons to vie for the empire, his plans are thrown into chaos when his ex-wife, COOKIE (Academy Award® and Emmy® Award nominee Taraji P. Henson, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Person of Interest), mysteriously emerges seven years early from prison, where she’s been for almost two decades. Brash and fearless, she sees herself as the sacrificial lamb who built an empire with Lucious and then took the fall for running the drugs that financed Lucious’ early career.

For now, Lucious remains firmly in control of Empire Entertainment. He is attended to by his hard-working assistant, BECKY (guest star and Academy Award® nominee Gabourey Sidibe, American Horror Story, Precious), and relies on long-time friend and Chairman of the Board VERNON TURNER (Malik Yoba, Revolution, Girlfriends) for advice and support. He relies on a whole lot more from ANIKA CALHOUN (newcomer Grace Gealey), the head of A&R for Empire and his current girlfriend.

As the Lyons slug it out, an emotional chess game begins that will either cause the family’s destruction or redemption. Lives and loves will be lost as the complicated family will come together and fall apart over the elusive throne, all set to an original soundtrack written and produced by legendary hip-hop hitmaker Timbaland. Will the family unite and learn to love each other before it’s too late? Love, war, family, sacrifice, money and music: this is the story of EMPIRE.

EMPIRE is from Imagine Television in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong. The pilot is written by Daniels and Strong. The series is executive produced by Daniels, Strong, Brian Grazer (24, Friday Night Lights, Parenthood), Ilene Chaiken (The L Word) and Francie Calfo (Those Who Kill, Gang Related). Daniels directed the pilot.

DStv Adds More Channels To Customers Expectations And Unfair Mishaps For Several Countries

DStv is adding a Harry Potter pop-up channel from M-Net to DStv from 4 November while its lowering DStv subscription prices in several African countries.

MultiChoice announced that it will be lowering monthly DStv subscription fees from 1 November in several African countries where the DStv prices were inaccurate with the average and will add a temporary Harry Potter pop-up channel from M-Net. DStv will also add several TV channels to lower-tiered bouquets in several countries and make more soccer viewing available on SuperSport channels given to its lower-tiered offerings, to boost the content offering for cheaper DStv packages and to add content value.Excluding South Africa and Nigeria it's two biggest markets in the country.

Subscribers will see a reduction in monthly DStv subscription fees from 1 November. The DStv price reduction comes as tough economic conditions facing consumers and greater competition in the pay-TV market have seen the pan-African pay-TV operator decide to lower prices to try and attract new and returning customers back on DStv and to avoid customers cancelling subscriptions due to monthly fees.

New channels added outside of South Africa are Eva+, a sister channel to the telenovela channel Eva, will be added to DStv, along with the Nigerian entertainment channel ROK from ROK Studios, with several channels that will be upgraded to high definition (HD) like South Africa.

While DStv Premium subscribers across the continent and including South Africa can watch the pop-up M-Net channel M-Net Movies BlockParty on DStv channel 109, DStv subscribers can look forward to more exciting pop-up channels in the coming months like the M-Net Movies Harry Potter pop-up channel which will run from 4 to 14 November and FliekNet and M-Net Inspire for the December holidays.

The Harry Potter pop-up channel will show all of the Harry Potter movies before the debut of the first movie in the new spin-off film series, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them that is scheduled for a worldwide release on 18 November.

The price of DStv in South Africa as well as some of the other markets including Nigeria compare favourably with the pricing in the countries where subscription prices are currently being reviewed downwards.

Multichoice spokesperson in Kenya said they realized that it increasing subscriptions all the time won't help the country grow sustainably because in future you can't pay R1800pm for the little you have on DStv Premium while DStv Compact pays R1325pm and the lowest package Easyview ends up paying R750pm. On the other hand, people will not afford our services if they continue this way.

MultiChoice Africa in a statement that was slightly adjusted for each African country where DStv price reductions are being introduced. These changes are not only a defining moment in MultiChoice story, but also a defining moment in the African entertainment landscape and pushing as hard as they can to delight every television entertainment fan in Africa.

No price reduction is expected in South Africa.

MultiChoice in South Africa says South African DStv subscribers won't see a price reduction and that the price of DStv Premium in South Africa compares favourably with the pricing in other African countries. Their prices for next year will be announced before 1 April 2017.

If you DStv knows what value for money the only way DStv can gain more subscribers and positive reviews is to give the audience what they want add more value to the packages especially South Africa like:

DStv Compact - Comedy Central, E!, Lifetime, Nick Jr and Cbeebies

Next, it’s a step into the seedy London underworld in Guy Ritchie’s RocknRolla, where a real-estate scam puts millions up for grabs and every criminal wants a piece of the action, from hustler One Two (Gerard Butler) to unpredictable punk rocker Johnny Quid (Toby Kebbell).

20th November from 18:00 Welcome To The Punch + Absolute Deception + Detention

The Brave One
27th November from 18:00
Nothing is what it seems in Absolute Deception, as widowed journalist Rebecca Scott (Emmanuelle Vaugier) attempts to discover the truth behind her husband’s death. Joined by FBI agent John Nelson (Cuba Gooding Jr), she stumbles onto a shocking web of deception, and the two of them soon find themselves with a target on their backs. Later, the suspicion is stifling in satirical horror Detention, where students trapped after hours in the school building are slowly picked off one- by-one by a serial killer. As the bodies pile up, typical teen stereotypes brainy Riley (Shanley Caswell), hipster Clapton (Josh Hutcherson) and popular Ione (Spencer Locke) must survive long enough to stop the killer from getting out.
James McAvoy and Mark Strong face off in Welcome to the Punch, where family problems force a notorious criminal (Strong) to return to his hometown, giving the detective who worked on his case (McAvoy) one final chance to get his man. The cat-and-mouse game continues in gritty thriller The Brave One, where Jodie Foster shines as a New York radio host who turns into a vigilante after her fiancé is killed in a brutal attack. As she prowls the streets at night, anonymously dispensing justice as she sees fit, a determined detective (Terrence Howard) sets out to bring her in.
