Coming Soon To More Platforms??? As Sources Say Discussion Are Said To Be Underway For The Much Anticipated News Platform, SABC eKhaya

SABC is set to launch a second news channel known to audiences as SABC eKhaya (formerly SABC Parliament) in the second quarter of the year carrying parliamentary content and other news programming in indigenous languages including English.

The news channel will serve as a regional spinoff to the current SABC News channel on DStv which had a similar offering for the yet-to-be-named news channel before expanding their footprint to the rest of Africa which further limited those aspects.

The channel is said to launch the second quarter of the year exclusively on SABC's DTT and very likely SABC+ as seen with SABC News which is said to be available on DStv at an exclusive basis.

Since news of the channel surfaced, consumers were curious as to whether eMedia Investments, and if it's still an option On Digital Media and StarTimes would be looking to add the channel on their platforms seeing as they lack such alternative unlike MultiChoice.

SABC:
- Reviewing major changes coming soon to the SABC, Part 2
Could SABC Encore revival be scrapped?
A former SABC channel was added onto Openview
SABC Movies' dream journal

Taking to account, these outlets have pending agreements with the as mentioned public broadcaster for more channels aside from SABC 1-3 which they have fallen far behind on in terms of filing up with the end of bargain.

The yet-to-be-named news platform fits the description of the promised new channels like a glove - repeats. As seen a few years ago, eMedia Investments is waiting on two encore based channels while MultiChoice opts to use them as leverage on eMedia's 4 channels.

As to whether discussions are underway, sources had mentioned to numerous viewers of such matter but seeing as the channel is still at its early stage. It seems highly unlikely, for now you can view the test channel exclusively on SABC's DTT.

TelkomOne's transition into SABC+
SABC 1 title card registered for Openview
SABC Children appears to have wrapped production

Some Of The Changes Made To Our Platforms Earlier In The Year

As mentioned in 2022, we've been conducting "never-ending" experiments on Insidus and Insidus Games it was found that our websites are well too crammed for many things hence the downsizing which was welcomed by a makeover.

Several readers may have noticed that Insidus Games is very much different, well it's not a reader's platform hence the variation. Experiments there are at a complicated stage but we reduced the bugs on the website so that it would be easy to browse.

As for Insidus, we have most of everything almost covered just a few more adjustments here and there as to not crowd the space as seen with post's pages featured attractions are nowhere in reach while as external attractions are only seen in the post pages.

Initially, the plan was to include more widgets that might still be a priority as of right now this is all we have to offer for the time being.

Just to let readers know, we'll be offline for a couple of days probably run on autopilot as we prep for the launch of a star attraction we have been boasting on about for several years. It will appear on Featured Posts which will soon be on post pages.

As you wait feel free to browse our platforms.
