The Fate Of Surrender In Love And Blue Venom Girl On eExtra As MultiChoice Cuts Ties With Most Channels From eMedia Investments

Also Read

eExtra is set to go off air on DStv by the end of the month meaning those who don't have access to eVOD will miss out on the bulk of content seen on the channel as other programs particularly the ones from Kuiertyd are transmitted on e.tv.

eExtra launched on the platform back in May 2017 alongside eMovies, eMovies Extra and eToonz offering a mixture of local and international content just like the main channel before transitioning to mainly telenovelas.

In all its revamps, the channel continuously won the hearts of viewers. For those with DStv particularly on the Access and Easyview package, the offering was hard to duplicate as a fragment of the channel (e.g. Zee World) was on a higher package.

- SABC Encore and SABC Children channel might be in development
- SABC wants to launch a second sports channel
- Could Zee One be rebranding soon?
- The Homemaker, The Accidental Mayor and Happily Ever After coming soon to Star Life
- A Promise Of Love coming soon to Glow TV
- Racing240 expands to Openview this April

All MultiChoice could do was redirect viewers to kykNET and Mzansi Magic's disciples and offer KIX and PBS Kids as a constellation.

If you want these shows you can either 1) get an Openview 2) subscribe to eVOD or 3) switch to DStv Indian as the content is ahead of eExtra and not in English. At this point, I doubt MultiChoice will ever bring them back as they seem more eager to move away from their world.

For those who choose to stick with DStv even after the removal, Zee World is your only outlet for Blue Venom Girl and Surrender In Love although they haven't been seen on the channel these two are manufactured by the parent company of Zee TV that also operate Zee One.

As discussed a couple of times here, eExtra usually airs future programs for Zee World such as Piyaa Albela and Qubool Hai so it's only a matter of time till these two surface on the channel of course I'm not expecting them too soon.

- Balaji Telefilms unveils new content possibly for Glow TV, Zee One, eExtra and Star Life
- Doodsondes returning for a fourth season on eExtra
- Saloni and East Meets West coming soon to SABC 2

Piyaa Albela took several months to launch on Zee World while Qubool Hai took several years so again I'm not expecting them on Zee World just yet.

The only downside to them airing would be the package, MultiChoice is basically pulling a FOX Life (Access) where another channel TLNovelas (Family) launches with their content on a higher package.

Could MultiChoice actually rewrite their wrong before its too late cause KIX and kykNET just don't cut it?

HBO Max And Discovery+ To Merge Under The New WarnerMedia And Discovery Inc's New Company Warner Bros. Discovery

Also Read

Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels says the mega-merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia — with an eventual combination of the Discovery+ and HBO Max streaming services — is on track for a mid-2022 closing.

“We’re in the ninth inning right now, in closing that transaction,” Wiedenfels told the Deutsche Bank Annual Media, Internet & Telecom Conference during a session that was webcast. He argued that combining the subscriber acquisition power of HBO Max with the customer retention power of Discovery+ content will “make for a blowout DTC (direct-to-consumer) product and that should certainly drive very healthy revenue growth for years to come.”

Wiedenfels also discussed the direct-to-consumer strategy following the merger of AT&T’s Warner Bros. with Discovery that will see an early bundling of Discovery+ and HBO Max, followed by eventually combining both streaming services into one consumer offering and platform. “We will start working on an interim solution in the meantime. So right out of the gate, we’re working on getting the bundling approach ready, maybe a single sign-on,” he said.

- Second batch of rumoured series coming to M-Net, 1Magic, Me and Showmax
- March on E!
- March on CBS Reality and CBS Justice

The goal is to get early benefits from the merger. “But the main thrust is going to be harmonizing the technology platforms, building one very strong combined direct-to-consumer product and platform, and that’s going to take a while,” Wiedenfels added.

The Discovery financial chief said most major milestones toward finalizing the merger of Discovery and WarnerMedia had been reached. On Friday, Discovery shareholders formally approved the mega-combination of the factual and lifestyle media powerhouse Discovery with AT&T’s entertainment arm. The final green light for the mega-deal came at a special shareholder meeting held online; shareholders of AT&T, led by CEO John Stankey, do not need to vote on the combination.

Last month, the merger received approval from the U.S. Department of Justice, the key regulatory hurdle for the merger. The European Commission, the executive body of the European Union, had approved the deal in December.

In the big deal, AT&T will spin off WarnerMedia and merge it with Discovery, with AT&T shareholders set to receive an estimated 0.24 share in the new company for each AT&T share held. AT&T stockholders will end up owning 71 percent of the new Warner Bros. Discovery, with Discovery shareholders holding the rest.

During his investor conference appearance, Wiedenfels returned to a familiar theme for his company, with the newly merged Discovery and WarnerMedia entity aiming to become a free cash flow machine. “We’re ready to generate a significant amount of synergies. We’re very bullish on our ability to drive free cash flow and delever the company very quickly, and position us for sustained free cash flow growth for many years to come,” he argued.

Discovery CEO David Zaslav will run the merged giant, with Wiedenfels serving as the new company’s CFO. Wiedenfels said early cost savings will come from reducing corporate overheads from the combined merger assets. And he reiterated that Discovery is eyeing $3 billion in annual cost synergies so far from the merger.

Synergies from combining HBO Max and Discovery+ will take longer to secure as the product and technology stacks of both streaming services had to be combined. “The teams are standing ready and everyone is super-excited to get going,” Wiedenfels said.

Amid an increasing Wall Street focus on the profitability outlook for streaming services, both executives recently also vowed that the merged company would focus on growth in streaming, but not at any price. Wiedenfels promised a “conservative approach” to streaming content spending. And Zaslav said that “we plan on being careful and judicious,” summarizing the approach this way: “Our goal is to compete with the leading streaming services, not to win the spending war.”

Insidus Games: Wario's Woods Brings Out A Major Spin From The Usual Mario - FREE APK DOWNLOAD

Also Read

Genre: Puzzle
Developer: Nintendo

Wario is a great twist on the typical Mario theme. Best of all, it's all new and that is what I want to see in a game. The music is pretty good, and it's a nice change from the usual Mario theme. It controls well, but Wario looks like a big blur on the screen, and this adds to the difficulty. The play mechanics are just right and as usual Nintendo comes through with another hit. Now how about this on Super NES?

It's a whole new adventure starring Mario's archenemy and it's good. Finding and using the various hats add a new dimension to the Mario theme. Those with short attention spans, be warned. These levels are huge and luckily, there's a battery back-up to save your progress. The game has lots of hidden goodies in the floors and walls to keep adventurous people happy. This is a fun one to play.

This is another great portable cart from the programming wizards at Nintendo. Wario Land has all the elements of a great portable game: great graphics, good sound, superb play control, amusing characters, and a good story. Wario's new charge attack is a fresh idea to attack the enemies, a welcome new feature. The down side to the game was that it was kind of easy. This is an excellent choice for Mario fans.

All right Nintendo, stop the teasing! With very good Mario spinoffs like this one, I just want another 16-Bit Mario game more and more! Wario Land has plenty of action, power ups, and good graphics (among other things) to keep anyone's interest. The control is very good (this is portable, remember), but things are a bit on the easy side. Still, fans of Mario-type games will definitely want this one.
