Magic Showcase Vs. Novela Magic: List Of Content You'll Probably Miss Out On? + Potential Content Suggestions

MultiChoice and M-Net decided to the halt the distribution of Novela Magic to consumers in South Africa with the channel expected to go off air from 27 November as it will be supplemented by two other channels ahead of time, Magic Showcase and CineMagic.

Novela Magic offered a lot of content from Mzansi Magic which is enough justification to have it removed but the brand existed for multiple brands as well including Africa Magic, Maisha Magic, Zambezi Magic, Pearl Magic and Maningue Magic.

While as Mzansi Magic and kykNET can make up for the chunk of SA content alongside kykNET & Kie, kykNET Lekker and Mzansi Magic. Viewers will basically lose access to content from the above-mentioned brands with Access receiving the most blows.

Africa Magic hosts a ray of linear channels none of which can be viewed on the Access package so it's bye bye to The Johnsons, Zuba and Battleground unless you plan to upgrade to the Family package in order to continue watching these shows or Easyview better yet.

Magic Showcase is a general entertainment channel which will be sourcing out content from Mzansi Magic such as Being Bonang and The Imposter while as supplying content outside of that namely Zuba, Arendsvlei and Legacy.

All this kind of gave me an idea for another channel which is hovered with rebroadcasts and basically a waste to Compact bouquets, Mzansi Wethu.

As much as MultiChoice refuses to acknowledge the fact Mzansi Wethu is basically how Magic Showcase could have been had they made it accessible to more consumers. I know I say this channel sucks a lot but maybe there is a way to keep it onboard.

In July, kykNET introduced their Turkish offering on kykNET & Kie which kind of helped give the channel its own identity as opposed to being viewed as kykNET+. Mzansi Wethu could do something similar but instead of sourcing Turkish they go for African.

Africa Magic Family already supplies Isibaya to their audiences so what's the harm in getting Battleground and Zuba onto Mzansi Wethu as it can help reduce that repeat tier tendancy for those using the Compact bouquet.

Novela Magic To Stop Airing On DStv In South Africa From November 27, 2022

MultiChoice and M-Net will be rolling out two new 18 hour entertainment channels Magic Showcase and CineMagic to their Easyview customers later in November. Prior to its launch, it was announced Novela Magic will no longer be accessible in South Africa.

Novela Magic launched in November 2020 as Africa's first Pan-African telenovela channel featuring content from Africa Magic, Mzansi Magic and Zambezi Magic namely Zuba, Isibaya, The Johnsons and Brotherhood Brethren.

The channel was meant to be used as a gateway to content that was restricted from certain regions but as seen in the past years the channel offers a large chunk of Mzansi Magic which is what led to its demise for consumers in South Africa and freedom from execution in other countries.

Magic Showcase is set to rectify that error but to less DStv customers as MultiChoice is trying their best to limit the amount of repeats accessible on a package as seen with kykNET Lekker, Maisha Magic POA and Moja 9.9.

Consumers who wish to see further seasons of Zuba and Battleground can tune into Africa Magic Family and Urban while the large chunk of SA content on the channel can be accessed through Mzansi Magic, kykNET, Mzansi Wethu, kykNET & Kie and kykNET Lekker.

Comedy Central and MTV were added respectively to Compact and Family bouquets to make up for the cancellation of Novela Magic. Access customers welcomed a further two channels to their package last month, BET and Moonbug Kids.

Roundups #107: Eccho Rights Brings Golden Boy To MIPCOM, What To Expect In December 2022 On Nicktoons Africa? And Malcolm In The Middle Revival Is On The Cards

Coming from the brand behind The Red Room and Verdeelde Liefde

International distributor Eccho Rights has added Golden Boy, the latest drama series from OGM Pictures in Turkey, to its catalogue, launching the series at MIPCOM this October.

The highly anticipated new title is the latest from the creators of hit series My Home My Destiny (Verdeelde Liefde), The Red Room , and Chrysalis, which itself just returned for a new season having dominated ratings in Turkey since April 2021.

Golden Boy is a classic family drama that tells the story of two sisters whose paths cross with the heir to a family full of betrayal, lies and secrets. 'OGM Pictures continues to push the boundaries of television production in Turkey, and Golden Boy is another remarkable series, that fans are already in love with', says Handan Özkubat , director of Turkish Drama at Eccho RIghts.

On air for two weeks on Star TV in Turkey , the series has already established itself as the clear leader in Friday night prime time with more than 6 million viewers tuning in for the second episode. Suna is to be wed to Ferit, the heir to the Korhan jewellery empire, but having never met his bride to be, Ferit - a spoilt casanova who is not interested in settling down - happens upon her younger sister Seyran. He is totally captivated by the younger woman, and if he is to marry anyone, he is determined it will be her.

Classic sitcom might make way to a new generation of viewers

In a recent interview on Fox News, Frankie Muniz revealed he and his wife had recently binged all 151 episodes of Malcolm in the Middle, which ran from 2000 to 2006, and it gave him a bit of reboot fever. The show's creator then confirmed to sources that they are indeed "talking about it."

"When I was filming the show, I obviously was a kid," Muniz said. "We did seven seasons, 151 episodes. I didn't really watch the show when it was on, but I've now since watched the show with my wife. All 151 episodes. I realized, 'Wow, that's what we were making.' I can separate myself from being on it and watching it as a fan. I would love to know what the family's up to."

The Surreal Life star also claimed that his TV dad Bryan Cranston was "really into the idea" of a revival and that Cranston was "kind of heading writing the script and getting everything rolling. So, there might be something. I would be down 100 percent."
