OpenView Unexpectedly Dumps BBC World News And Adds France24 In Its Place

BBC World News is the 1st victim from the eMedia platform to get the chop on OpenView without no explanation from e.tv or better yet any notice for their loyal viewers.

BBC World News lasted about two years and 7 months on the OpenView platform with the cheap France24 taking up it's space on channel 121.

France 24 is a French state-owned international news television network based in Paris. Its channels broadcast in French, English, Arabic, and Spanish and are aimed at the overseas market, similar to BBC World News, DW, RT and TRT World.

The channel ran as a programming block on e.tv News and Sports channels before becoming a full-length channel on the platform unexpectedly.

There's no reason behind the sudden removal of BBC World News. It's more likely due to costs and with the pandemic around a lot of businesses have been cutting back so this might be one of them.

OpenView now joins DStv which suffered a lot of cutbacks in the year so far only the Starsat platform is left to fill the effects of the pandemic at the moment they are on a channel spree.

SABC Education Might Be Available In August On DStv And Possibly Starsat

SABC launched an educational channel back in May on DTT and online platforms with more platforms scheduled to add it later.

SABC Education has been seen on the test channel section through DStv channel 950 for almost two months now alongside Starsat platform where it's numbered through their website on channel 313 and available to those who carry the Max, Special and Super package.

Recently, a viewer noticed that the channel no schedule on DStv starting from the 1st of August leading that individual to believe and possibly some viewers to believe that the channel will be made available on DStv by then.

Both DStv, Starsat and SABC were asked on the status of the channel on the platforms with DStv redirecting clients to SABC, Starsat with its "stay tuned for more information" and SABC with its constant silence.

My guess would be SABC Education launches tomorrow or sometime this month on channel 314 or more likely 316 and is made available to Easyview if not all customers with Starsat adding it around the same time if not sooner.
