MultiChoice Supposedly Repositions DStv Easyview With The Addition Of Two Channels, Attempting To Give Openview A Run For Their Money

Openview is currently South Africa's leading provider in free entertainment operated by eMedia Investments. The platform is currently seen in over 3 million households with more households set to join once analogue cease to exist or MultiChoice shoot themselves in the foot.

Honestly, the platform was giving consumers on DStv Access and mostly Easyview a run for their money. I mean with less than 25 channels you'd discover consumers on these packages were being derived of so much more so it's understandable why one would flee.

Unlike Access, the Easyview package doesn't come with much luxury aside from TNT and Real Time with almost everything residing in the religious and communal areas. For which Openview lacks as they are regarded as the HBO Max of cable.

During the week, it was reported MultiChoice would be allocating two more channels to the package. These channels would be adapting to a similar format to that of eReality and eToonz as they too aren't 24 hours capable.

For several years, eMedia Investments had been working on filling up the remaining analogue signals with their Openview platforms. Now MultiChoice has undergone a similar path with their Easyview package.

MultiChoice wants to take the digital approach by reinventing the Easyview package after the brand was seen as redundant for several years for its failure to source fresher entertainment which led consumers to fled to the Openview platform.

Could E! Entertainment Be A Thing Of The Past?

E! Entertainment is a celebrity based entertainment channel owned by NBCUniversal that has mainly been used for glitz and glamour or in other words takes you on a trip to Hollywood through red carpets and interviews with their notable title being The Kardashians.

As seen these past months or in other people's perspective last year, NBCUniversal has been cutting back on original content for their channels and E! Entertainment happened to be one of those last remaining channels internationally.

As it is DreamWorks Channel is more like PBS Kids as content is funded by third parties, there's not much changes coming to Studio Universal but when you turn to Universal TV they were more like CBS Reality pitching for new content now they're the slums like BET.

E! Entertainment has lost out on several originals like Keeping Up With The Kardashians, E! News, The Soup and Daily Pop. At the time, not a lot of people knew how far NBCUniversal would go in this layoffs that was until they were reports of the channel closing in some parts of Europe.

I don't know whether this will happen in other countries as NBCUniversal has been eyeing strategic purposes in the phasing out of the E! brand but from what is known so far would the idea be far fetched.

In Africa, E! Entertainment has been adding content from NBCUniversal's Bravo channel. Overseas this two have been operating on seperate grounds but in this region they're working hand-to-hand.

And I'm not saying that E! Entertainment will turn into Bravo but the idea of what's happening in Africa possibly being the outcome overseas wouldn't be shocking I mean Days Of Our Lives is heading to streaming and NBC closed their sports channel.

Don't be surprised if there was an announcement that E! Entertainment would be closing down with further content being divided amongst their brands, Bravo.

Bravo would make a great successor I mean there's a lot the channel can do that celebrity based E! Entertainment had restricted. The channel hasn't gotten that far in terms of popularity but with the right tooling they can get ahead.

Bravo is currently positioned in a similar form to MTV and with E! Entertainment supplying various shows from the brand. They might as well source content from Oxygen since it's also female driven and from what I can make out with this combo you're basically getting Lifetime.

Lifetime was one of my least favourite channels I usually watch it for the documentaries and crime hours. Should Bravo eventually rear it's face one of my expectations is that it could fill the void left by this channel from A+E Networks.
