Roundups #22: WildBrainTV Launching In Canada Killing Off Family Chrgd, DStv Streaming Will Be Restricted In March And MultiChoice's Involvement In The Termination Of News And Sport On Openview

WildBrain getting a dedicated channel

WildBrainTV is composed of various linear channels under the Family branding in Canada and is also home to a variety of kids programming such as Johnny Test, Rainbow Ruby, Martha Speaks and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry In The Big City a reboot to Strawberry Shortcake.

From 1st, one of their Family branded channels Family Chrgd which was the Canadian version of the defunct Disney XD will soon be known as WildBrainTV with Family Jr. possibly remaining for the time being.

The channel catered for 6-15 year olds perhaps this new brand will follow Cartoon Network overseas and expand to the preschool market as the owners have produced and worked on various preschool content on top of managing Family Jr.

The Walt Disney Company has been closing down several international channels and cable providers have to source out alternative channels. DreamWorks Channel, BBC Kids, Moonbug Kids, ZooMoo and if possible WildBrainTV could fill up that gap.

MultiChoice restricts DStv Streaming

"As part of our ongoing efforts to counteract password sharing and piracy, while continuing to bring you the best viewing experience, we will be introducing measures to limit concurrent streaming. From 22 March 2022 customers will be limited to streaming DStv on one device at a time. They will still be able to watch previously downloaded content on a second device."

The change is being made to all DStv subscriptions across Africa but that "only customers making use of more than one concurrent stream will be directly affected by the change. It will not limit the number of people using a login, however, we are limiting (to one) the number of people who can stream at the same time.

Showmax subscribers are not impacted and the change only applies when streaming DStv.

MultiChoice - The News And Sport Killer

During this week, it was reported that Openview customers will be losing their first channel of 2022 News And Sport by the end of March as eMedia Investments no longer sees it as a viable option with several retrenchment plans underway.

According to staffers and this is speculation, MultiChoice is pressuring them to close the channel as they're creating direct competition to eNCA and before I get anywhere with that issue let's brief everyone about News And Sport.

Even when the channel began as OpenNews, it was criticized and often compared to their pay-tv counterpart eNCA for lacking local news and the only thing that gave them a bit of an edge at the time was sports.

In a way, MultiChoice wasn't the only one that influenced the decision but viewer's preferences. eNCA is up for renewal soon and the question looms on what's to come for that channel.

If anyone has learnt anything from Disney Channel and Disney XD, don't create competition for yourselves. In News And Sport case, especially if it can't be sustained or deemed liable by consumers.

I'm not shocked eMedia Investments chose to rid themselves of the brand. They seemed more focused on series and movies than sports. Impact Wrestling in some way fits that criteria as its also regarded as entertainment mainly for their storylines.
