Watch out for that tree This animated series spreads its wings or in jungle terms branch mighty fast, from SABC 3 to eToonz which are locals to well renowned brand like DreamWorks home to award-winning content. The King Of The Jungle holds a huge responsibility on his hands.

Paramount+ is scheduled to launch in Africa later in 2023 and questions amount to the fate of the current linear offering available on DStv and several other pay-tv outlets within the market. Although, Paramount (at the time ViacomCBS) expressed no interest in closing their linear offering as seen with The Walt Disney Company. It doesn't really take out the possibility that perhaps they'll close down only a few channels before the rest follow due to the rise in streaming. As seen in other markets, Paramount has been reducing the amount of linear channels mostly brands that leverage repeats or other old programming even channels with less views are put on a pedestal.     As I've browsed in the linear offering for Paramount Africa there's about 4 channels which need saving or could be Paramount+ next appetizer and it goes as follows: Comedy Central - before the overseas counterpart become an animation channel, Comedy Central features old shows like The Bi

StarSat has been going through somewhat of a phase since the pandemic which cost them several premium international channels such as FOX, Discovery Family, DreamWorks Channel, Smile, The Smithsonian Channel, Love Nature and that list will keep going on. Just like every other pay-tv operator, they're trying to adapt and survive on top of all these hurdles. While some other brand opts to local dramas and sports, StarSat on the other hand helps promote smaller brands but the one thing that keeps viewers going is telenovelas primarily Phillipine. If there's one thing that the platform doesn't disappoint on then its definitely Phillipine dramas. Some of the titles viewers would have come across include Love Thy Woman, Sharpshooter (Asintado), Bridges Of Love, The Heiress (Kadenang Ginto) and the popular cop drama, Brothers.     What the 6 mentioned series have in common is Alto Broadcasting System and Chronicle Broadcasting Network (ABS-CBN).

Following the termination of Lifetime and quite possibly the 4 e.tv channels , MultiChoice announced after nearly a decade that the Islamic community channel, ITV Networks currently seen on channel 347 would go off air on the DStv platform from June 17. In those string of developments it was mentioned that the pay-tv platform will seek another Islamic channel. Here's the thing ITV Networks was added on DStv from June 2012 but as a replacement to the UK based Islam Channel which is still available on the platform in other African countries.   The signs of ITV's demise was clear as day I mean the channel stopped providing an EPG and just like Lesotho TV all you got was the channel's name. Prior to that, they were some technical setbacks again the signs were visible. Now on to the replacement channel, MultiChoice said they'll announce the supposed channel in due course but it wouldn't pose as a shocker if it happened to be Islam Channel. MultiChoice operate
