Turkish Couple Edits a YouTube channel which distributes a variety of music videos based on couples within a number of telenovelas. Part of which can be viewed on eExtra: #DisComplicated and Verdeelde Liefde.
Here's another music video for the show #DisComplicated:
For those wondering what song is used in the video it's Lose You To Love Me performed by none other than Selena Gomez.
In September, MultiChoice held a showcase where they unveiled Qwest TV a jazz infused entertainment channel by Grammy Awarded Quincy Jones then a few months later an BBC UKTV from BBC Studios a channel which had since then been delayed on the Openview platform.
Now we have recieved updates from both brands, according to a press release shared by the pay-tv company, BBC UKTV will be made available from 15 December targeting Family, Access and Easyview customers on channel 134 - as predicted.
Easyview is finally getting some attention probably due to the success of Openview and it's upcoming pay-tv tier Openview+. Don't be surprised if they added an additional R10 to their monthly subscription.pp

- BBC UKTV to launch on the Openview platform
- BBC UKTV vs. BBC Brit: Recommendations and Improvements
- What to expect on BBC UKTV?
- Premium customers to lose out on purposed new channel
- Another attempt at promoting the BBC on DStv
Compact, Compact+ and Premium customers already have BBC Brit, BBC Earth, BBC Lifestyle, CBeebies and BBC World News. Of course, BBC Earth is a premium channel and while BBC UKTV will offer repeats to them other consumers have to rely on the retarded BBC Brit.
Programs confirmed for the channel include Strictly Come Dancing, Frozen Planet, My Family, Andy's Wild Adventures, Come Dine With Me South Africa basically repeats from the above-mentioned brands.
Qwest TV is also gearing up for a December release on channel 330 and if I had to guess the channel will be added to Premium, Compact+ and Compact customers but we all know how well that section performs within those packages but this is their way of evening out the odds.
Openview:
- Openview to come with monthly fees by next year
- Could Openview be losing more channels in future?
- SABC 1 title card has been registered for customers
- MultiChoice attempting to replicate eExtra's Kuiertyd with kykNET
- eMovies and eMovies Extra receive their first competitors on DStv Easyview
- The history of Star Life
Even better, Qwest TV will launch in HD while as the low tiered BBC UKTV will be available in standard definition and I know some consumers on Openview are probably wondering if it will be available at the same time as DStv and I have not doubts about that.
Qwest TV doesn't really some that exciting at all as the music section on DStv has lacked variety outside of DMX that I'm sure several consumers had already moved on. It could explain as to why M-Net Movies launched yet another repeat channel for a limited time.
M-Net Movies Blk All-Stars is basically M-Net Movies 2 which skewed toward black audiences with films like After Earth, Rush Hour and Lethal Weapon. It will be added on channel 111 to DStv Premium and AddMovies customers and judging by the lineup Compact and Compact+ customers as well.
DStv:
- Could Russia Today be removed from the DStv platform?
- Qwest TV coming soon to Showmax
- fliekNET to make a comeback this festive season
- Why DStv Premium customers might lose out on a certain new channel?
- eMedia's 4 channels to go dark on the DStv platform
- VH1 making a comeback on DStv
If there's something I'm curious about more than anything is about some of the current offerings which just like BBC UKTV and Magic Showcase are already viewable on the premium and compact bouquet.
MultiChoice has been doing a lot of quality control during the year part of which included eliminating non-performing or channels which offer too much repeats I mean they even went for Novela Magic which just leaves all the more curious as to what's to become of Real Time and Discovery Family.
Craig Of The Creek is ending here's what you need to know
If you had any hope for the show defying the odds think again, in a series of tweets from the creator Ben Levin talked about the situation while confirming this is really the end.
We wrote the final episode of Craig Of The Creek today. That's 181 episodes in total - not including the movie. Technically, we wrote 188 episodes, but unfortunately 7 of those will not be seen because of our order being cut short (I'll share more about the episodes someday). I'm going to miss this very much. The Creek was a giant sandbox and we tried to make room for everyone to play. We collectively channeled our childhood dreams and adventures into each episode, hoping to inspire the kids watching at home or at least make them laugh. The infinite talents of the entire crew and cast made the Creek into a living, breathing world. The characters and space were rich and nuanced and it felt like we could explore them forever. And we certainly had more stories to tell, but unfortunately because of this merger. This is the end. Still 5 seasons and a movie (and spinoff) ain't nothing. Thanks to everyone who has been part of this writer's room for over six years.
The crew was going to keep this show going but it was cut short with that said what's more concerning is the state of Cartoon Network as the only original program left happens to be We Baby Bears with Teen Titans GO! in another department.
Cartoon Network has a bunch of content coming up such as Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, Invincible Fight Girl and Adventure Time: Fiona And Cake. The only problem is that the channel hasn't shared much details on any of this content of course there is the new Ivandoe series produced in Europe.

Beloved Turkish drama is heading to Mexico
The Girl Named Feriha follows housekeeper Feriha Yilmaz, a young woman from a poor background who is awarded a scholarship to an elite university, where wealthy playboy Emir Sarrafoğlu studies as well. Emir eventually falls in love with Feriha, believing she is also wealthy.
eExtra has been airing all 3 seasons on repeat for as long as it has been viewable on the DStv platform and as several sources mentioned. The Mexican based broadcaster Televisa is looking to adapt the popular Turkish drama - nothing is official as of yet.
But if they do get a shot in remaking The Girl Named Feriha take some facts into account. The whole setting of the show will change some with the character's name. Take into account that this is not the only Turkish drama to be remade by them even Black Money Love was adapted as Imperio De Mentiras.

Prediction: A statement of what you think will happen in the future.
Glow TV is a South African based entertainment channel owned by Nismedia that is home to a variety of content that promotes the Indian community including a range of series, movies and variety shows.
Over the years, the likes of Zee World and Zee One from Zee Entertainment Enterprises and Star Life from Disney Star have been edging out Glow TV resulting in them losing out on content like Forbidden Love and also funneling primetime with rebroadcasts.
It could have been what resulted in the brand's demise on the DStv platform with the brand clinging onto its remaining audiences on both Openview and StarSat.
Everyday Novelas:
- The Rebel Princess coming soon to eExtra
- Carmen And Razia Sultan coming soon to Zee One and Zee World
- Laxmi and more content awaiting launch on Star Life
- Daai Crazy Somer coming soon to e.tv
- The history of Star Life
- Glow TV could be on the chopping block
Sources close to Glow TV had mentioned most of the brand's audience reside on the Openview platform meaning that they don't have much impact on StarSat with the pay platform being viewed as less of an alternative and more of a trainwreck.
With the channel remaining onboard for a few more months one has to wonder what awaits for them in the years to come. But if I had to view it's future on Openview it seems very dark from the looks of it.
Nismedia, the owners of the channel had to go through court to get Glow TV reinstated I mean would eMedia have realised their error without involving the legal system. Didn't MultiChoice replace the channel with Star Life a few years prior to when Zee One did the same on Openview.
Openview:
- BBC Studios to launch new channel on the Openview platform
- Openview to come with monthly fees by next year
- Could Openview be losing more channels in future?
- SABC 1 title card has been registered for customers
- MultiChoice attempting to replicate eExtra's Kuiertyd with kykNET
- eMovies and eMovies Extra receive their first competitors on DStv Easyview
eMedia Investments received plenty of backlash and if the channel weren't fortunate to remain a couple more months viewers would have probably adjusted to its absence as seen with MultiChoice.
eBella was added onto Openview and DStv ahead of the rollout of Star Life and honestly the idea of eMedia launching something similar to the defunct brand to make amends for the removal of Glow TV wouldn't be far fetched.
I mean Kuiertyd has a dedicated channel so why can't the bulk of Zee World content get a channel of its own as if eExtra and Zee One don't already exist. It's as if Nismedia's suggestion over Zee TV's dominance becomes more transparent as years pass by.
My idea is for this channel is that it takes a similar form to most eMedia channels. Resumes at a particular timeslot, leverage various content from eExtra on top of distributing their own lineup of content and hopefully reduce the amount of Zee TV from the other station.
Openview Plus:
- Reviewing major changes coming soon to the SABC
- The Game Of My Destiny a brand new Turkish drama unveiled by Global Agency
- The Rebel Princess coming soon to eExtra
- A look at former NBC soap, Passions
- Die Vertroueling coming soon to eExtra
- Barbie: It Takes Two and Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go! coming soon to eToonz
