Roundups #33: Maury Cancelled After 31 Seasons, Cartoonito EMEA Acquired Broadcasting Rights To Cocomelon And Piet's Sake Makes Its Linear Debut On e.tv

Maury calls it quits

NBCUniversal on Sunday confirmed that its daytime syndicated talk show Maury will be wrapping with the current season, saying that it was a mutual decision between the studio and veteran host Maury Povich to end the talker made when Maury was most recently renewed in 2020 through the 2021-22 season.

“Maury and I decided two years ago that this season would be the farewell season for the show, and while his retirement is bittersweet, we are so happy for him to be able to spend more time on the golf course,” Tracie Wilson, EVP, NBCUniversal Syndication Studios, said in a statement to Deadline. “Maury is a television icon, a pop culture legend and we couldn’t be more proud to have been a part of his incredible career.”

“Six years ago when I was ready to retire, my the NBCUniversal family asked me to continue the show,” he said. “Even though I told them I was ready for assisted living, out of loyalty to NBCUniversal and my more than 100 staff and crew members, Tracie Wilson and I agreed to one more deal. I’m so proud of my relationship with NBCUniversal and all those who worked on the Maury show but as I occasionally tell my guests on Maury, ‘Enough, already!'”

The series was once available on Soweto TV before it went under new management.

Cocomelon expands to more households

Moonbug Entertainment has inked its first multi-territory linear deal, partnering with WarnerMedia to air preschool series CoComelon across EMEA.

Under the deal, WarnerMedia has picked up 170 episodes of the popular series to air on the conglom’s fledgling preschool block Cartoonito across more than 115 countries in the area this year. The brand’s 3D-animated musical episodes, which cover educational topics and nursery rhymes, will roll out in multiple languages, including German, French and Italian.

This partnership expands on Moonbug and WarnerMedia’s previous deal to air CoComelon on Cartoonito in the UK , where it rolled out in April 2021. That was the brand’s first move onto linear TV.

More eVOD originals surface on your TV screens

eMedia Investments told the media lies when saying viewers had to wait a year to see the bulk of content launching exclusively on the platform but that was already suspected when Dokter Ali aired on eExtra a few months after debuting on eVOD.

According to sources, Piet's Sake starring Jamie Bartlett and Kenneth Nkosi is set to be the first eVOD original production alongside Is'phindiselo to make way to e.tv amidst the channel's lineup changes.

Piet is an old school Afrikaans businessman who had immense success during apartheid, however, he is finding it very difficult to navigate in the new and transformation pro South Africa. When he loses all his contracts, he wishes he black, in a spiteful manner in front of one of his employees who he mistreats. In the morning, his wishes have come true, but not in the way he would have wanted. He has swapped lives with Mandla who now is “Piet” the boss and he is Mandla the cleaner. The only way things will go back to normal is after he has learnt an important life lesson.

Piet's Sake airs at 8pm on Saturday, 2 April and rumor has it more eVOD titles will debut on the channel including Atlantis and Daryn's Gym.

Sarah takes her American boyfriend Frank to her home country in the Arab world. After an incident during a night stroll, Frank is imprisoned by corrupt police for Sarah's murder.

Night Walk is an American crime thriller drama film written and directed by Aziz Tazi and starring Sean Stone, Mickey Rourke, Sarah Alami, French rap legend La Fouine and Eric Roberts.

The film received the Best Screenplay award for Aziz Tazi and Best Actor award for Mickey Rourke at the 2019 Prague Independent Film Festival. Both The Washington Post and Entertainment Weekly included Night Walk in their "Movies to Stream this week" list.

Zee One has been available in Africa for a few months offering content already seen on Zee World such as Sacred Ties, My Golden Home and Reach For The Stars with a few exceptions such as Guddan.

The channel can be seen on the Indian package of StarSat while eMedia Investments view it as a replacement channel for Glow TV which will continue to be available on Openview until their contracts ends in February 2023.

Zee One in a not so surprising note can't been seen on MultiChoice's DStv and GOtv in South Africa and the rest of Africa as viewers in those regions already have Zee World and content seen on this channel will be familiar with consumers.

Zee World ranks as one of the most popular international telenovela channels in South Africa surpassing channels like Telemundo despite being on the family package while the rest of Africa can view it on Access and the DStv duplicate GOtv.

For anyone with these platforms, they've seen a couple of brands such as Moja 9.9., Mzansi Wethu, Nicktoons and Discovery Family follow Zee One which duplicates content for a different audience and often lure existing viewers.

Why not Zee One?

The channel didn't have much purpose on DStv aside from Zee World even eExtra was caught in that rift now that Zee World will be the only English station distributing Zee TV productions there is a bit of hope for Zee One.

Knowing MultiChoice, they don't have anything special planned for the channel number and a 195 wouldn't be a bad place for a channel like Zee One as it incorporates eExtra afternoon lineup on top of catering to repeats and not a lot of consumers are expecting anything premium in that section.
