eMedia Holdings Acquires 30% Stake In Pristine World Holdings

South African media company eMedia Investments, owner of e.tv, has announced the acquisition of a 30% equity stake in Pristine World Holdings, a specialist provider of high-end visual effects (VFX) services to the global film and television industry. The deal, valued at R119 million, marks a strategic move by eMedia to diversify its content creation capabilities and tap into international production markets.

The transaction will be executed through eMedia Investments, with payment directed to Convergence IT Services FZCO, the sole owner of Pristine World Holdings. Convergence is incorporated in the United Arab Emirates, underscoring the international scope of the deal.

In a statement released to investors on Thursday, eMedia highlighted that the investment aligns with its broader strategy to strengthen and diversify revenue streams within its existing media ecosystem. By acquiring a stake in Pristine World Holdings, and by extension, gaining access to its subsidiary MR Factory, a cutting-edge VFX studio, eMedia aims to integrate advanced visual effects technologies into its own production pipeline.

Pristine World’s service offerings include:

• Computer-generated imagery (CGI)

• Motion capture

• Digital compositing

• Animation

These capabilities will enable eMedia to enhance the quality of its content across platforms such as e.tv and eVOD, its video-on-demand service. The investment also positions the company to collaborate on international projects and offer high-end VFX services to external clients.

The timing of the acquisition coincides with eMedia’s ongoing development of its own VFX infrastructure at its Hyde Park studios in Johannesburg. This facility is being built to support real-time visual effects integration, allowing both in-house and third-party productions to benefit from advanced post-production technologies.

eMedia stated:

This investment forms part of eMedia’s strategy to diversify and strengthen its revenue streams within its existing ecosystem. By acquiring a stake in Pristine World (and, in effect, in MR Factory), eMedia gains access to the technology and innovation of MR Factory. It aims to incorporate high-quality visual effects capabilities into its content production pipeline, thus enhancing the quality of its offerings and positioning the eMedia group for international project collaboration.

The transaction is set to become effective on 1 October, pending regulatory approval from the South African Reserve Bank and the finalization of a shareholder agreement between eMedia and Pristine World Holdings.

World Premiere: The New Identity Of TV5MONDE

Present on all continents, TV5MONDE claims to be the world's leading Francophone network. But how can this plurality of identities and cultures be translated into a unique visual identity, while affirming the network's ambition for modernization? Arriving in 2024, its new president Kim Younes initiated a comprehensive reflection on the image of TV5MONDE, which resulted in a new visual and sound design, set to air starting October 6.

With a presence in nearly 200 countries, TV5MONDE offers eight channels deployed by geographic region, two thematic channels, and an online platform: TV5MONDE+. The network also broadcasts its programs subtitled in twelve languages to reach as wide an audience as possible. In total, it reaches over 400 million households around the world.

In 2024, as it celebrated its 40th anniversary, TV5MONDE underwent a governance shift: Kim Younes became the new president, succeeding Yves Bigot, who had been in the role since 2012.

From the very beginning, Kim Younes wanted to launch a global reflection on the identity of TV5MONDE to reflect its desire for modernization.

**The Francophonie** is the reason for the network’s existence since its inception: "TV5MONDE builds bridges between individuals, peoples, and territories through the culture of Francophonie," Kim Younes reminded during her back-to-school conference.

However, translating Francophonie into a visual identity is challenging: it is a concept that is both complex and intangible, at the intersection of multiple cultures and varied territories. For the artistic direction team, there is a need to approach certain graphic codes with caution: "We are not a French channel; we are French, Swiss, Belgian, Monegasque, Canadian, Québécois... For instance, I questioned the presence of blue, which is dominant in the logo; it’s one of the colors of the French flag, but it is rarely used in African color codes. That was the beginning of the reflection," explained Olivier Schaack.

This positioning is further complicated by the network’s vast geographic and editorial reach: "It’s hard to sum up in a few words what TV5MONDE is. That’s why we put a lot of effort into creating creative trailers: marketing really helps us communicate who we are. I tell my teams to let loose, to have fun!" The artistic direction thus produces internal promotional films shot in various parts of the world, with the collaboration of local teams.

In late 2024, a call for tenders was launched to rethink the brand platform. Amandine Lepoutre from the Thinkers & Doers agency led this project. Olivier Schaack clarified: "I needed to remove all that was superfluous to get to the essence. Amandine spoke with many collaborators to determine what we were. She arrived at the idea that TV5MONDE is a channel that, through the French language, creates links between communities."

Thus, this idea of connection and link guided both the visual and sound creation.

The Sound: The Starting Point of the New Identity

While image typically drives the redesign of a channel's identity, this time, the approach was different: "My experience at Canal+ convinced me that we should start with sound," explained Olivier Schaack, referring to his work on the moving logo of StudioCanal, whose music was composed by Alexandre Desplat.

He thus initiated the creation of a global soundtrack lasting 2 minutes and 30 seconds, incorporating eight variations and rhythms characteristic of different regions around the world: an energetic radio pop for the United States, reggaeton and baile funk for Latin America, bright pop for the Pacific, afrobeat and afrohouse for Africa, and K-pop for Asia. "I absolutely wanted to avoid stereotypical sounds for each region. The idea was to have subtle evocations," he added.

Following a call for tenders, the Laplage studio was selected. Sébastien Lipszyc, composer and co-founder of Laplage, explained: "We created a music that evokes travel, elsewhere, using deliberately non-identifiable elements to suggest escape without ever referring to a specific culture."

The entire piece was recorded by an orchestra at the iconic Ferber Studios in Paris and mixed by Alan Meyerson, known for his collaborations with Hans Zimmer.

A New Graphic Identity

The Gédéon agency was chosen to design the new graphic identity. The idea of connection, born during the brand platform work, is embodied in the design through the principle of weaving.

"Our graphic identity relies on a play of vertical and horizontal lines. Aligned on a grid, the letters cross and intertwine. Similarly, we intertwine images," explained Olivier Schaack. The color palette consists of five colors: olive green, lemon yellow, sakura pink, sapphire blue, and fiery orange, complemented by charcoal black and chalk white.

The various texts are composed using the IBM Plex typeface, originally created for digital use. Its geometric and regular design, which resembles a monospaced font, allows the letters to fit more easily within the grid-based graphic system.

The logo has also been redesigned: the typographic composition, heavily spaced, takes inspiration from IBM Plex's design. Only the "5" from the channel’s historic logo, easily recognizable, has been kept.

On air, the "permanent" will now only display the TV5MONDE logo in one corner of the screen, without mention of the geographic zone: only a color, assigned to each broadcast, will differentiate the channels. "In certain parts of the world, it's possible to receive several signals: so we had to make sure that some channels didn’t have the same color," said Olivier Schaack. The logo will appear in one of the four corners of the screen, depending on the constraints of the broadcast image.

Redesigning On-Air Continuity

Beyond the sound and image, this redesign inspired a reflection on the writing of the on-air continuity. The trailers thus leave maximum space for content, with information moving to the top of the screen. A small sound cue (the "chrono") will mark the transition between the main body of the trailer and the pack shot, acting as a sort of sound signature.

Self-promotion is now dynamic, with the implementation of a new distribution system. This will allow TV5MONDE to "tease" upcoming programs directly during shows, instead of relying on traditional "coming next" teasers aired between programs.

The Pause: The Return of the Speakerines

A new module, called "La Pause" (The Pause), aims to bring back the spirit of speakerines (female announcers) that disappeared in the 1990s. "I like to remind people that my profession was born with the death of the speakerines," said Olivier Schaack. "But today, when you watch a television channel, many modules follow one another: jingles, commercials, trailers, idents, theme songs... and you sometimes have to wait until the news to see any 'human' presence. So I thought: would it not be interesting to bring back the speakerines?"

These modules, lasting about two minutes, will present the main events on TV5MONDE while showcasing the channel's teams: "If I go back to the origins, the speakerines were not actresses: often, they had no real experience. I wanted the presenters of these modules to be TV5MONDE employees." They were filmed in the network's projection room, with a swing installed and the backdrop decorated with color panels. "We still wanted the design to be present: the presenters appear in a square frame, which leaves space on the outside for small graphics, information..."

A New Set for the News

The news set, which had remained unchanged since 2013, also undergoes a transformation. Philippe Antoine, appointed Director of News in March, wanted to move away from the usual globe image and instead focus on faces and landscapes.

While the grid concept is retained, the execution is different from the rest of the on-air design: "My principle is that the design of a show should never replicate the channel's identity, otherwise everything becomes worn out. But since they coexist, there is still a form of coherence," emphasized Olivier Schaack.

The new orange color, "fiery orange," is now used for news, with blue hues for current events and purple for culture. Under the leadership of Julie Lavigne, the new opening sequence was created in-house by Nicolas Menet, with agency 17Mars working on the rest of the visual design, from the logo to the lower thirds and animations on the set screens.

A completely new set, after over 15 years on air, was also built. Designed by Panoramic 7, it aims to combine materials and textures. "We wanted to play with wood and very light surfaces," explained Nicolas Renard, Director of Productions, during the back-to-school conference. "We also trusted Sophie Mallebranche, a designer, who created a metallic fabric that wraps around the table's legs—the heart of the set."

Modular, this new set features a curved LED wall, "a fresco, an opening to the Francophone world."

"There were many hesitations: redesigning a set is like redecorating your living room. There are also design constraints, technical mechanics... But we've gained space, and the set is bigger," explained Olivier Schaack.

This new set will also allow TV5MONDE teams to use augmented reality. "The goal is also to improve the environment and comfort of journalists and production teams," said Nicolas Renard.

Channel Closure: CBS Reality And Film Cafe Cease Broadcasting In Poland By December 31, 2025

By the end of the year, the film channel Film Cafe and the documentary channel CBS Reality, both from AMC Networks International and CBS Broadcasting, will cease broadcasting.

The broadcaster will stop airing these channels on December 31, and therefore we need to remove them from our offer. The channels are non-guaranteed, and customers will receive information from us with appropriate notice, informs Wojciech Jabczyński, spokesperson for Orange Polska, which carries both stations. The broadcaster itself did not respond to our inquiry regarding the planned end of the channels' broadcasts.

MWE Networks is preparing replacements for these stations. Filmax Cafe and TVC Reality will be launched. – In the unlikely event that these two channels (Film Cafe and CBS Reality – editor’s note) disappear from the market, we have excellent substitutes ready. The channels will be ready to launch in October, says Michał Winnicki, the owner of the group. The stations will broadcast under Maltese licenses.

MWE Networks is also set to launch eight other stations in response to the planned closure of some channels by Paramount Global. According to the announcement, channels like Comedy Channel Extra and Music 80s and Music 90s will be launched. The group will also launch a channel called Mesjasz TV.

According to Nielsen Media, including out-of-home audiences, in 2024, the film channel Film Cafe had an average of 0.09% share in the general 4+ group (a year-on-year decline from 0.12%; on August 21, 2024, CBS Europa changed its name to Film Cafe), while the documentary channel CBS Reality had 0.05% (down from 0.06% in 2023).

Nickelodeon Acquires International Rights To CGI Animated Series, ‘The Marsupilamis'

Paramount’s Nickelodeon has acquired the rights to the CGI animated series The Marsupilamis, a fresh take on the beloved kids brand, for markets outside of the U.S.

“This fresh take on the iconic character, created over 70 years ago by Belgian author André Franquin, brings the legendary Marsupilami from the wild Palombian jungle into the heart of the city,” said Nickelodeon, which is part of Paramount, now owned by Skydance.

The 52 episodes of 11 minutes are produced by Ellipse Animation and Belvision.

“Slated to launch in 2026, the comedic, action-packed new series follows twins Jade and Mica who find their world turned upside down when their explorer parents entrust them with three mysterious Marsupilami eggs,” according to a plot description. “Once they hatch, the siblings must get creative to keep their new friends hidden – after all, no one knows these energetic creatures exist, and predators could be lurking around every corner.”

The series is directed by Célestine Jacquel-Plays (Grizzy and the Lemmings). Andrew Barnett Jones and Ciaran Murtagh (The Amazing World of Gumball) served as head writers, with Guilhem Deckers (Minions 2) being the artistic director.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Ellipse and to introduce The Marsupilamis to our Nickelodeon audiences,” said l Layla Lewis, senior vp, global acquisitions and content partnerships, at Nickelodeon. “This fresh take on a beloved character brings a vibrant mix of humor, heart, and adventure that makes it an excellent addition to our slate”

Caroline Duvochel, head of audiovisual & innovation at Média-Participations and managing director of Ellipse Animation, added: “We are thrilled to finally present The Marsupilamis, with our best talents bringing a new take on the most iconic IP of our portfolio. An ambitious and unique branding strategy unites all entities within the Média Participations group, placing The Marsupilamis at the forefront of our creative efforts. Collaborating with the top-tier Paramount team is a true delight, enhancing the global reach and impact of our beloved character.” 

Blast From The Past. Disney Channel Set To Relaunch In The UK On October 3rd

5 years ago, Disney made the decision to shutter most of its linear operations in the UK, Asia, Italy and Turkey and this included various feeds for the Disney Channel and National Geographic. At the time, the goal for the company was to get consumers onto its streaming service, Disney+.

Since it's inception, Disney+ is still not accessible in some European and African countries despite closing brands like FOX in the market. Now it appears as if Disney may be looking to revive it's operations in these affected markets with Disney Channel set to relaunch in the UK.

According to Digital Spy and various viewers, Sky has been testing its frequencies for a channel under the placemat Disney Junior. Big City Greens will be the first show to be broadcast on the channel with other shows such as Wizards Beyond Waverly Place and Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Catnoir.

Disney Channel's relaunch in the UK would come 5 years after Disney made the bold move in shuttering it's operations. Of course this time, Disney Junior instead of operating as a 24 hour channel will most definitely operate as a daytime block as seen in other regions.

Disney hasn't stated the reason for the sudden decision to relaunch Disney Channel in the UK but if we had to guess several factors likely contribute to its sudden inclusion.

First, Disney Channel's removal stemmed from a carriage dispute with Sky Group in the UK so unlike FOX maybe this wasn't the Disney's intended target. Another with consumer backlash led to the creation of the forum Bring Back Disney Channel UK which highlights the gap left by its competitors.

Lastly, Disney has emphasized providing "multiple entry points to our storytelling." While streaming remains core, reinstating linear channels allows Disney to reach households without reliable broadband or those preferring scheduled TV which in return would help bolster it's Disney+ offering.

The relaunch coincides with Disney's "Reflection" era rebranding for its US Disney Channel, suggesting a unified push for fresh programming. In October, Disney Channel set to rollout the fifth season to Phineas And Ferb alongside a new original movie Zombies 4:Dawn Of The Vampires

October 2025 On Nickelodeon, Nick Jr. And Nicktoons Across Europe And Africa | Returning Shows Including SpongeBob Squarepants & Rubble And Crew | Continue Premieres For The Wylde Pak | More

Nickelodeon 

**Canyon Valley, Bikini Bottom, and Royal Woods. These three city names summarize all the premieres expected this month.**

At the start of the month, new episodes of the much-anticipated *The Wylde Pack* series, which debuted in the final days of September, are arriving. The new episodes will continue to air on weekday evenings. However, this batch includes an 11-minute Halloween-themed banned episode that was later removed from the schedule. Interestingly, it currently looks like we’ll be getting three episodes as world premieres, and due to different episode numbering compared to the U.S., a full 22-minute episode will temporarily be skipped in our broadcasts.

Still staying in early October: *The Loud House* continues with its ninth season on Nickelodeon. As usual, there are banned episodes that will later appear on Nicktoons and SkyShowtime. However, the channel has a surprise in store for fans of the series. Fans surely know that a certain episode from Season 6 has never aired here, even though the opportunity was there years ago—probably for a reason. But that might change this year: for Halloween, two (technically three) new episodes will debut. The more recent Halloween double episode from Season 8 will be prioritized and will also air on Nicktoons a few days after the main channel. And after a few days, there’s a chance that the long-missing Season 6 Halloween episode will also finally be shown on Nickelodeon—an episode which has been rerun several times on the sister channel over the years.

Since Halloween has come up, it’s time to mention the *Patrick Star Show*’s holiday episode, which is airing thanks to the spooky season. This is the final missing piece of Season 3, which will thus conclude in our region at the end of the month. Lastly, only *SpongeBob SquarePants* is lucky enough to get a mention in this article. The series last had new episodes in May, and now after five months, it’s time again. The final episodes of Season 15 will air starting mid-October, while the first episode of Season 16 is scheduled for the end of the month.

Halloween has already been mentioned multiple times, but let’s get into the details. This year, the channel is preparing a more elaborate event than usual—a whole week of spooky fun. Not non-stop, of course, but for most of the day, scary-themed episodes from favorite shows will take over the schedule. From October 27 to November 2, from morning to evening, selected episodes from the channel’s popular series will be shown, including the new Halloween premieres and their reruns. No old shows will return, just to answer that ahead of time.

And finally, a small editorial note: it's particularly noticeable with *The Wylde Pack* that episodes are scheduled irregularly, often airing out of order in rerun slots. This may change by the time of actual airing, but it's worth keeping this in mind until there’s an official update. In the proper premiere slots, the episodes will air in the correct order, so anyone following that block won’t miss a single episode.

Marathons

**October 27 – November 2, 2025**

Daily at various times: **Halloween Specials**

A week-long Halloween event with spooky episodes and premieres from popular shows. No classic series will return.

Nick Jr.

The preschool-focused channel is delivering excitement on several fronts. Where to begin? Let’s start with the last-minute update for the month: *Blaze and the Monster Machines* is being completely removed from the schedule—even though new episodes were originally planned for October. While other regional feeds still include the show, and our November schedule hasn’t yet been updated (meaning Blaze is still present there), viewers may have reason to worry that the network is planning to phase out the show entirely.

In place of *Blaze and the Monster Machines*, *Rubble & Crew* episodes will mostly take over the late-night time slot. As a result, the Season 3 premiere originally set for mid-month is currently being aired earlier in that overnight slot. However, as we’ve seen before, this could change at the last minute. These suspected early premieres are marked in **purple**, indicating they may be swapped out by the network just before airing.

Continuing from late September, the new show *Tim Rex in Space* will run throughout most of the month. In fact, right after the Season 1 finale, they’ll kick off Season 2 with at least one new episode.

Nick Jr. hasn't forgotten about Halloween either. They’ll celebrate for a full week, airing spooky-themed episodes across nearly all time slots throughout the day. Special premieres are also scheduled as part of this Halloween week. It kicks off with a **Season 3 episode of Dora**, and on **Halloween Day itself**, the finale of *The Tiny Chef Show* is expected to premiere—though curiously, it’s actually the **season opener**. However, we say “expected” because this could also be pulled at the last minute, just like Blaze’s planned Halloween episode.

A full week of spooky-themed episodes from various shows, including premieres and reruns.

Nicktoons 

Unfortunately, there will still be no flood of premieres on the channel, and it seems we’ll need to get used to these few premieres. Due to the late season start, part of *The Patrick Show* will extend into October, and there will also be a special Halloween episode this month. In the first few days of October, the current new episodes will finish airing, after which the Halloween marathon will bring spooky-themed episodes, including one from **Season 3** of *The Patrick Star Show*. Also part of this Halloween marathon will be *The Loud House* Halloween double episode, which will mark the end of the 13-episode **Season 8**. Ultimately, the little yellow sponge, **SpongeBob SquarePants**, will also make his return, which is expected to happen early in the month. Five months after its domestic premiere, *SpongeBob* will return with five new segments, after which the show will go on another break.
