e.tv will be rolling out 9-1-1 in the coming weeks FOX production in the coming weeks called 9-1-1.

The series made its debut on FOX in 2018 followed by M-Net and M-Net City in that current year. It managed to get over 3 seasons with a fourth one on the way alongside a spinoff called 9-1-1: Lone Star.

The first season starts Wednesday 14 October at 20:30 on e.tv

Netflix And DStv Are The Monopoly Of Africa

MultiChoice's DStv and Netflix have been the top players in cable and streaming respectively for over a decade. Before they were like cats and dogs now they've seemingly become besties so here's how the pair are similar.

MultiChoice's DStv has provided funding for several channels like Moja Love and Newsroom Afrika while Netflix has provided funding for several businesses like DreamWorks Animation (which spawned the DreamWorks Channel) so if there such case where these platforms shut down these brands would likely shutdown or downsize if possible.

Dependency - Through a briefing with ICASA, Cape Town TV revealed that they're reliant on DStv in order alongside several other channels like the SABC while Nickelodeon, Disney and NBCUniversal provided distributed several old and exclusive programming through Netflix.

Quantity - Netflix provided over a hundred new content a year while DStv provided over 120 TV channels. Quality - they're both not perfect, Netflix is mass producing making it hard to actually find something worth watching while DStv provides 1000 hours of new content in 12 years when Netflix can actually do that in 4 months.

Superiority - DStv has the sports, local dramas and news to keep viewers onboard while Netflix has their large catalogue and doesn't have much knowledge of the African heritage to back them meaning bigger is better.

Competition - DStv's only competitor charges almost half of Compact subscription (Starsat), what turns people off about their rival is the lack of premium entertainment and sports. Netflix has Amazon Prime which is barely hyped about in Africa and least talked about it.

Costs - DStv and Netflix monitor the subscription based on the programming and the economy. If Netflix doesn't hike their subscription yearly it's only due to the fact that they supply content not channels.

Repeats: You can repeatedly stream the same season of Umbrella Academy on Netflix and still get charged for all those times you were binging the show (that answers your question on DStv).

CONCLUSION: Netflix and DStv are overrated it's up to you on which platform you invest your money onto. My advice don't invest in Netflix only because they offer a lot of content unless you plan to follow those shows and don't invest your money onto DStv if you'll only watch 1 channel.
