Investigations Currently Underway For Glow TV's Mishaps With eMedia Investments

Last year, Glow TV had exited both Openview and Starsat by the end of February. Therefore concluding its run from linear television as the channel was no longer viewable anywhere in Africa but still retained their presence on Facebook. 

Since then, Glow TV had filed a complaint to the Competition Tribunal against eMedia Investments. Viewing their termination from free-to-air households as anticompetitive following eMedia's early attempt at removing Glow TV in 2022.

As some readers are aware, Zee One was introduced on the Openview platform as a replacement to Glow TV at the time. Followed by eMedia Investments pay-tv venture Ultraview which offers two Bollywood channels, Zee Family and Star Select.

With Glow TV off the air for a year now, several consumers had already fled to these networks with The Get Real Talk Show With Denver Naicker revived on People's Weather. Should the channel return it would have to start from scratch and try to win back viewers.

Similar to MultiChoice, that currently offers the 4 Openview channels until August 2024. Nismedia sites their current disagreement as a prime example to their investigation so as to whether the channel will return that has yet to be seen.

To all loyal GlowTV followers. Just to let you know that GlowTV has lodged a complaint with the Competition Commission some time back against Etv (Openview) & they are still busy investigating the case. As you know when DSTV removed 4 of Etv’s channels, the same Etv complained to the Competition Commission, who ruled that DSTV should reinstate the 4 channels, as an interim measure, until the outcome of the investigation. For the latest developments keep in touch with us on this official page of GlowTV. Regards, Management.

But if Glow TV were to return it would be on a limited basis meaning it would need to operate as a pop-up channel. Timeframe of every show would need to be monitored and content minimized something Glow TV lacked since its inception. 

Star Life and Zee One mainly focused on Anupama, Imlie and Radha Mohan basically dramas edging out Glow TV. Other traits like reality, lifestyle and kids were very much lacking for which Glow TV assisted with Little Bheem and Glow On The Go.

Although a time frame for the channel's appearance has yet to be announced. We presume more will likely follow once the affected party eMedia Investments settles their current matter with MultiChoice which has been ongoing for 2 years.

Following the successful launch of SpongeBob SquarePants in isiZulu in 2022. Nickelodeon is looking to dub more content in local languages for sister network Nicktoons with the preschool series Paw Patrol airing at a much later timeslot from 18 March at 15:00.

Estimated Guess On The Future Of Disney Channel Africa By 2027 And Beyond, Disney+ Absence In Europe And Africa

During the week, it was reported that Disney Channel and Disney Junior would remain in Africa on MultiChoice's DStv for another three years. As Disney extended the agreement with the pay-TV company which include channels from National Geographic and ESPN.

This comes prior to the closure of Disney Junior in parts of Europe as further content folds under Disney Channel. With Africa and a few other parts of Europe retaining the most linear channels one has to wonder how long it will be till these channels get purged. 

As some readers are aware, Disney had closed several channels across the world including the big 3 in Australia, UK and Ireland and Italy. With general entertainment brands in FOX in most parts of Europe while some retain it as FX or Star in that matter. 

While there may not be any definitive time frame on when Disney Channel will end transmission in Africa. Unlike feeds of Germany or Nordic, the Southern African feed of the brand had been redundant in the last few years this was picked by viewers.

Marvel's Moon Girl And Devil Dinosaur which had managed to air on Disney Channel in the United States and the above-mentioned regions became a Disney+ exclusive in Africa. Final seasons of Big Hero 6, The Owl House and Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure were also excluded.

On top of that, Disney Channel had been distant to older seasons of most of their shows like Bunk'd and Raven's Home. There was even a point where all shows aired one season on loop which was somewhat hazardous.

All of this leads me to believe that Disney could be looking to alienate these channels from Africa as seen in other countries. I mean why else would shows move to streaming when others can view it on Disney Channel or better yet why reduce Raven.

I know Disney+ is not viewed in some of the regions which offer these brands. But Disney+ hasn't been profitable in the United States and a few other markets with speculation going around about its abrupt end in part of these regions should the matter not improve. 

As seen with Paramount+, Max and Peacock, the idea of Disney+ being consolidated in parts of these regions wouldn't seem far fetched. Not long ago, MultiChoice had relaunched Showmax housing content from these brands same with Sky in the UK.

While Netflix and Amazon Prime Video were able to sustain themselves in the main market. This wasn't the case in other countries with them either licensing content to other broadcasters if not excluding content from certain countries.
