Following the ongoing removal of linear channels from cable as content shifts to streaming services. Cable providers have seen a decline in third party entertainment while streaming experiences continues to rise in terms of viewership and programming.
In this case, Telkom's streaming service TelkomOne adds Toonami and Boing from WarnerMedia to their existing set of channels while StarTimes uploads W-Sport which is also available on TelkomOne to their app.
MultiChoice on the other hand continues their invest toward the local industry with several productions currently underway within the year including a possible eLearning channel from Royal Records.
Toonami is a superhero themed channel offering the best of DC superheroes including Batman, Superman, Green Lantern, Teen Titans and Justice League alongside anime like Dragonball Super and Inazuma Eleven.
.
Boing is a mashup of Cartoon Network and Boomerang offering programs formerly or currently seen on the channels including Courage The Cowardly Dog, Johnny Bravo, The Jungle Bunch, Angelo Rules and Teen Titans GO!.
W-Sport as the name implies showcases the very best in female sports whether you're football, basketball, house racing or tennis fan this brand is all about empowering woman.
The yet to be mentioned eLearning channel on DStv will broadcast 24 hours and include a mobile app to uplift the economic sector with a studio and presenters.
At the moment, W-Sport can be viewed on the StarTimes app and might be available elsewhere but this may not include viewers in South Africa as StarTimes there as a cheapo platform due to ODM's 35% stake in the brand. At this point, the brand needs channels and W-Sport is a neat addition to their portfolio.
Toonami and Boing were spotted on the AMP'D TV section of the app. From there you're directed to MyPlay where you see a variety of pay-tv channels and programming. Perhaps TelkomOne plans to expand to other markets and MyPlay is the distributor for now nothing is it's a mystery.
The supposed DStv channel is still rumoured for the time being.

eMedia Investments has always got the hots for crime series with the likes of Chicago PD and NCIS: Los Angeles on e.tv to Impak and Die Put on eVOD now the offering is growing once again with the addition of Binnekring (Halka) to the streaming service, eVOD.
Two different young men coming together from different places stand side by side and fight against a conspiracy. They go after a past that doesn't leave behind. They bring to account of old notebooks, dirty cases, big and small lies. They're in a life with the Mafia, money, intrigue. They face against Halka, the terrifying face of which they have yet to know.
The news doesn't come as off as shocking to me with Kuiertyd Premium already available on eExtra. The streaming platform needed to keep up with their linear counterpart and believe or not I was kind of anticipating something like this could occur.
Binnekring aside from being a crime based series will also carry a bit of action and thriller. The series began in 2019 featuring Serkan Çayoglu, Hande Erçel, Kaan Yildirim, Hazal Subasi, Nazan Kesal, Ahmet Mümtaz Taylan, Burak Sergen.
The series is said to debut later this month (or February) on eVOD with the usual 10 episodes per week. If I had to guess, the series will likely take up the space of Die Put or Impak currently seen on eExtra.
Binnekring joins Kurt En Shura as the only series to not air on eExtra yet. This brings eVOD's Turkish exclusives to 6 with Dokter Ali and Voëlvry being the first entries followed by Kurt En Shura, Impak and Die Put.
Kuiertyd may have taken over the Turkish portfolio of eExtra but that doesn't mean the channel has forgotten about beloved English soaps that started it all yes I'm talking about Fatmagul.
Fatmagul, a humble young woman from a coastal town, sets out to seek revenge on a group of men who violated her while under the influence of drugs.
Based on based on Vedat Türkali's scenario, Fatmagül'ün Suçu Ne? the series stars Beren Saat and Engin Akyürek (Black Money Love).
The series is slated to air on eExtra later in February when The Girl Named Feriha ends.

‘Craig of the Creek’ Gets Season 5 Renewal and Spin-Off Greenlights
WarnerMedia Kids & Family announced two new project greenlights and a series renewal that will expand the storytelling universe of the multi award-nominated, Craig of the Creek. The series has been picked up for Season 5 with spinoffs to include a preschool series, Jessica’s Big Little World, and an original animated movie, Craig of the Creek: The Movie.
“In Craig of the Creek, Matt Burnett, Ben Levin, Tiffany Ford, and the entire crew created a charming, imaginative, and inclusive world that represents the best in kids’ animation,” commented Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros. president Sam Register. “We could not ask for a better foundation as we expand the stories of the Creek into preschool and long-form projects ensuring that Craig of the Creek is well on its way to becoming our studio’s next big kids’ franchise.”
“Since its debut, Craig of the Creek has been an instant audience favorite, capturing the joy of being a kid along with the humor and heart of family life,” added Amy Friedman, Warner Bros. head of kids & family programming. “We are so thrilled with how Cartoon Network Studios has opened up Craig’s world and that his hilarious little sister Jessica, a breakout character, will now have her own show!”
In Jessica’s Big Little World , no task is too big, even when you’re little! Set to debut in 2023, this preschool spinoff centers on the Creek’s favorite resilient little sister, Jessica, as she navigates her way through a world where everything seems much bigger than she is. Although she’s the youngest and still needs help with a lot, Jessica is inspired by the grown-ups and bigger kids around her and is persistent in her quest to conquer monumental kid tasks like creating a bedtime routine or saying hi to a new classmate. With the help of her friends, imaginary and real, Jessica sets off to take on the world, even if she still does suck her thumb…sometimes.
Following Cartoonito’s framework of Humancentric Learning,
Jessica’s Big Little World aims to mirror important moments and milestones in children’s lives to help them recognize and appreciate that difficult experiences and feelings are universal. The preschool series will weave themes of communication, imaginative play, perseverance, and embracing age-appropriate strategies for overcoming obstacles throughout.
Craig of the Creek: The Movie is an origin story of the Creek’s bravest explorer that could only be told through the scope of a movie. Craig Williams is the shy, new kid in town, longing for his old home and life. Little does he know, he’ll soon set off on the biggest adventure he could ever dream of. Treasure maps, pirate ships, and a villain who wants to destroy the Creek are just the beginning in this treasure hunting epic! Craig of the Creek: The Movie is expected to premiere in 2023.
Season 5 of Craig of the Creek follows the precocious Craig and his best friends Kelsey and J.P., as they transform everyday afternoons into extraordinary adventures through imaginative play at the neighborhood creek. The new episodes will delve deeper into the endless world of the Creek as Craig embarks on more journeys with friends new and old, finding adventure, mystery, and fun around every bend. Season 5 is slated for release early next year.
Craig of the Creek, Craig of the Creek: The Movie , and Jessica’s Big Little World are executive produced and co-created by Emmy-nominated Steven Universe writers Matt Burnett and Ben Levin. Jessica’s Big Little World is executive produced and co-created by former Craig of the Creek supervising director, Tiffany Ford.
“Seeing how viewers automatically fell in love with Jessica, the littlest member of the Williams family, and her big belief that she can do what everyone else does, developing Jessica’s Big Little World was a natural next step in the Craig universe,” shared Burnett and Levin. “Tiffany has been part of the Craig of the Creek family since the beginning and there isn’t a better voice to bring our pint-sized heroine’s journey to preschoolers.”
“I’m very much looking forward to the stories we’re going to tell on Jessica’s Big Little World,” added Ford. “We hope to bring forth relatable adventures that kids and parents can both connect to. I personally feel close to Jessica— she reminds me of people in my family, experiences that I’ve had, and friends that I’ve known. As we continue to develop this very special show, Jessica’s journey to becoming a big kid has also inspired me to find a more kind and compassionate approach to the even smallest moments in life.”
