Amakhosi Studios Forges Partnership With Starsat Rise

Image
Amakhosi Studios is proud to announce that through its partnership deal with South African based Starsat Rise (St Rise) Channel 120 it will now be exporting local content and talent. The channel will be available in 42 countries including Zimbabwe with all local shows premiering on the 25th of May as part of the African Day Celebrations. For the first time since independence, we are celebrating with 100% Zimbabwean content and talent which will be available on Satellite Television to African audiences. It has almost been a year since the first Covid 19 Lockdown which has meant that Zimbabweans who love local content have been short changed as they cannot access quality local live entertainment. Zimbabwean content creators and artists themselves are failing to earn money from their creative entertaining works through live shows. Through this partnership Amakhosi Studios and Starsat Rise channel 120 seek to change the economic challenges COVID-19 has brought to the arts entertainment a

There’s a little more blue in the clouds, a little more ray in the sunshine, and a lot more colour all around! That’s because WarnerMedia’s cartoon-based kids’ entertainment channel, Boing, is gearing up for a fresh look and feel as of the 10th of April. The channel, which airs across households in 19 African countries for girls and boys aged four to 14 years old, is home to a range of spontaneous and humorous franchises and popular comedy and action shows such as international animated hits like Sonic Boom, Dragons and The Jungle Bunch; 90’s classics including Codename KND, Dexter’s Laboratory and Johnny Bravo; and other channel favourites, for example, Angelo Rules, Uncle Grampa and Oswaldo. Working closely with children from the core target market,  the channel has redesigned its playfulness, introducing a new chameleon-like logo. A massive icon library that can be changed and adapted according to the brand's modernised visual language has been developed and features over 320

Toonami Rebranded In France Last Year And Why The African Feed Needs To Follow?

Image
Toonami started on a rocky road in 2017 through the now defunct cable provider Kwesé TV and managed to gain popularity after a year. Few months after its removal, the channel resurfaced on Cell C's streaming service, Black which suffered the same fate as the cable provider. Not much was known about the version Black distributed but Kwesé TV's version included content from DC Animation, selected content from Cartoon Network and an ongoing stack of anime. In 2019, MultiChoice launched a knockoff version of the brand for a limited period dedicated to DC Animation and a year later Toonami resurfaced in that same format. Even though Toonami was seen as a pop-up through DStv. WarnerMedia had some luck and forged a deal with StarTimes to bring the brand onto their platform FULL-TIME. Since then, it's been bombarded with repeats and viewers have been making requests for fresh content and they chose Dragonball Super which ended its run on Cartoon Network. In other parts of t

It's the Bellacourts, and as Rhode Island's first family of the Gilded Age, the insanely ridiculous, debaucherous clan have more servants than relatives, and their days are filled with money, sex, drugs and more money. With nothing of substance to offer their fellow citizens, the Bellacourts are solely concerned with how they look, what parties they attend, and - in the case of sisters Lillian and Beatrice, especially - becoming super famous.

Update: SABC And eMedia Investments Expanded Agreement

Image
Back in March, SABC and eMedia Investments held a media launch to announce a new agreement which would see Openview customers get access to SABC Sport alongside two other channels as well as SABC's 19 radio stations . Through a media enquiry they were able to shed some light on the following: - SABC's 19 radio stations will launch from April 15th and join Openview's other existing radio stations. - SABC Sport will launch 2 days after the radio stations which is April 17th on channel 124. This could add some variety in the sports section and make up for the loss of sports channels Openview had over the years. - SABC 1-3 and Sport will reportedly be available in high definition.

May 2021 On CBS Justice Africa | New Series Alert!: MIAC | New Season

MURDER IN AMISH COUNTRY Season 1 Sundays at 19:00. From 9th May until 13th June. Murders of any kind are thankfully rare events within the peaceful and reserved Amish and Anabaptist communities that are scattered across the United States. When they do occasionally occur, investigating detectives soon find out that solving them is unlike working any other kind of case. As one cop put it: “It was easier getting information from the Mob than from the Amish.” Dramatic, original and revealing, “Murder In Amish Country” tells the true stories of homicide investigations in this unfamiliar world, where witnesses are notoriously distrustful of outsiders - even the police - and where justice is often dealt with internally. Combining unparalleled access to those in or close to the Amish community, captivating interviews with the friends and family of the victims as well as with law enforcement officers and visually arresting re-enactments, the series takes viewers into a hidden world as

Cartoon Network Is Doing Live-Action Again To Appeal Viewers And Further Boost The Content For Streaming

Image
In February, Warnermedia unveiled a vast slate of kids’ programming bound for Cartoon Network and HBO Max. The slate spoke of a growing commitment to preschoolers and families — a new preschool programming block called Cartoonito will launch this fall. The linchpin of this drive to appeal to more children is Tom Ascheim, Warner Bros.’s president, global kids, young adults, and classics. Installed in the role last summer, Ascheim heads up Cartoon Network. He also has oversight of Adult Swim, Boomerang, the Turner Classic Movies channel, and the studios of Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. Animation, and his unit is responsible for kids’ and family programming at HBO Max. After Warnermedia announced its slate, Ascheim elaborated on his unit’s strategy in an appearance at Kidscreen Summit’s virtual edition. Here are six takeaways from the session: Cartoon Network is getting back into live action, with the blessing of audiences. The network has made live-action shows in the past
