Nismedia Looking To Take Legal Action Against eMedia Investments With The Competition Tribunal Following The Removal Of Glow TV

Following the ongoing saga of MultiChoice and eMedia Investments' carriage dispute regarding e.tv's 4 channels would be Nismedia's Glow TV which went dark on both Openview and StarSat by the end of February with no means of survival for the affected party.

Since then, eMedia Investments unveiled the Bollywood bouquet Spice TV for their Openview Ultra consumers which featured sister channels to the freemium Zee One and Star Life while StarSat welcomed the addition of 4 channels including CBS Reality and Kartoon Channel.

As seen yesterday across Glow TV's social platforms, the channel is looking to take legal action against eMedia Investments which could result in the reinstatement of the orange brand through the Openview platform similar to the affected party channels which are still on DStv.

From what is understood by their statement, they want authorities to see if eMedia Investments removal of the channel was proper in anyway or anti-competitive which again is the reason eMedia's 4 channels haven't left the DStv platform as they conduct their investigation.

StarSat isn't affected by the whole matter so it seems as the pay-tv company similar to MultiChoice at the time when the channel went dark on the platform in 2018 ended it on contractual obligations.

Zee One was added to the Openview platform as a replacement to Glow TV in 2021 and at the time eMedia Investments removed the channel before the contract could expire resulting in this rift between Nismedia and eMedia Investments for Glow TV.

We honestly feel that Glow TV should be repositioned as a lifestyle channel or serve as the Soweto TV or TBN of the country if not look up to PremiumFree or SABC's DTT if they wish to continue operating in the market as there's so much Bollywood on their former platforms.

Glow TV wasn't a soapie channel like Zee World or Star Life but a general entertainment brand featuring reality, lifestyle, drama series, news, kids shows and local programs. All of which wasn't enough to retain its status on the affected platforms.

Insidus Games: Netflix's Hit Animated Series Green Eggs And Ham Was Reimagined On Gameboy

Join Sam-I-Am as he leads you through zany Seussian worlds in search of green eggs and ham. While collecting this odd delicacy, you'll use a 3D game board to jump from adventure to adventure. You can play solo or join forces with three of your friends to play simultaneously on a single Game Boy Advance. The first-ever Dr. Seuss title available on the handheld, Dr. Seuss: Green Eggs and Ham features controls and gameplay specifically tailored for younger players.

Review: The graphics and music are impressive and the game is good to pass the time but Green Eggs And Ham can be borderline repetitive.

Getroud Met Rugby Actor Guns Down His Lover

On Thursday, local actor Gregg Pettigrew, 51, allegedly shot and killed his 29-year-old lover in Kempton Park, Gauteng, before attempting to take his own life.

The shooting occurred in Pettigrew's home, a rental cottage in the area.

Police received an emergency call from the landlord and were on the scene shortly after. Norkem Park Police spokesperson Colonel Barbara-Anne Ferreira told sources they found a dead male on the scene.

"The other male was still in the bed, next to the male, and he had a firearm in his hand," she said. She said he was drowsy.

"We noticed that there were tablets. He drank an overdose of tablets."

Colonel Dimakatso Nevhuhulwi told sources earlier on Friday that the man was at the "local hospital under police guard".

Pettigrew played the character of Gé on the local soap, Getroud Met Rugby.

He's expected to appear in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Monday, 17 April.

Ferreira said he'd be charged with murder and possession of an unlicenced firearm. She said the family of the deceased was traumatised.
