Roundups #22: WildBrainTV Launching In Canada Killing Off Family Chrgd, DStv Streaming Will Be Restricted In March And MultiChoice's Involvement In The Termination Of News And Sport On Openview

WildBrain getting a dedicated channel

WildBrainTV is composed of various linear channels under the Family branding in Canada and is also home to a variety of kids programming such as Johnny Test, Rainbow Ruby, Martha Speaks and Strawberry Shortcake: Berry In The Big City a reboot to Strawberry Shortcake.

From 1st, one of their Family branded channels Family Chrgd which was the Canadian version of the defunct Disney XD will soon be known as WildBrainTV with Family Jr. possibly remaining for the time being.

The channel catered for 6-15 year olds perhaps this new brand will follow Cartoon Network overseas and expand to the preschool market as the owners have produced and worked on various preschool content on top of managing Family Jr.

The Walt Disney Company has been closing down several international channels and cable providers have to source out alternative channels. DreamWorks Channel, BBC Kids, Moonbug Kids, ZooMoo and if possible WildBrainTV could fill up that gap.

MultiChoice restricts DStv Streaming

"As part of our ongoing efforts to counteract password sharing and piracy, while continuing to bring you the best viewing experience, we will be introducing measures to limit concurrent streaming. From 22 March 2022 customers will be limited to streaming DStv on one device at a time. They will still be able to watch previously downloaded content on a second device."

The change is being made to all DStv subscriptions across Africa but that "only customers making use of more than one concurrent stream will be directly affected by the change. It will not limit the number of people using a login, however, we are limiting (to one) the number of people who can stream at the same time.

Showmax subscribers are not impacted and the change only applies when streaming DStv.

MultiChoice - The News And Sport Killer

During this week, it was reported that Openview customers will be losing their first channel of 2022 News And Sport by the end of March as eMedia Investments no longer sees it as a viable option with several retrenchment plans underway.

According to staffers and this is speculation, MultiChoice is pressuring them to close the channel as they're creating direct competition to eNCA and before I get anywhere with that issue let's brief everyone about News And Sport.

Even when the channel began as OpenNews, it was criticized and often compared to their pay-tv counterpart eNCA for lacking local news and the only thing that gave them a bit of an edge at the time was sports.

In a way, MultiChoice wasn't the only one that influenced the decision but viewer's preferences. eNCA is up for renewal soon and the question looms on what's to come for that channel.

If anyone has learnt anything from Disney Channel and Disney XD, don't create competition for yourselves. In News And Sport case, especially if it can't be sustained or deemed liable by consumers.

I'm not shocked eMedia Investments chose to rid themselves of the brand. They seemed more focused on series and movies than sports. Impact Wrestling in some way fits that criteria as its also regarded as entertainment mainly for their storylines.

Could Russia Today (RT) Be The Next Channel To Be Removed On MultiChoice's DStv Following It's Exit From Germany And Possibly The UK?

Sir Keir Starmer has called for the Kremlin’s state-controlled TV network Russia Today to be banned from airing in the UK.

The Labour leader told Parliament action was needed to curb “Putin’s campaign of misinformation” after the Russian leader furthered his bid to split up Ukraine by moving Russian troops into the country’s east.

Sir Keir said: “Putin’s campaign of misinformation should be tackled, and Russia Today should be prevented from broadcasting its propaganda around the world.”

Shadow Cabinet minister Lisa Nandy also called for action, adding: “When the Russia Report was published we asked Ofcom to review Russia Today’s license. Given what is unfolding, why is it still freely broadcasting state propaganda in the UK?”

In recent weeks, Western officials have accused Russian state media outlets of fabricating bogus provocations blamed on Ukraine’s forces in a bid to justify the conflict, while RT’s news coverage has celebrated Russia’s “friendship” with the breakaway Donbass region.

- tvN pushing to become a permanent linear channel in Africa
- Could Nicktoons be discontinued in Africa and likely the rest of the world?
- Multichoice won't be adding anymore community channels
- Kwara TV might launch on DStv

The TV channel, funded and controlled by the Russian government, continues to broadcast an English-language channel in the UK despite moves in other parts of Europe to curb its influence.

Critics have long accused Russia Today of being a mouthpiece for the Kremlin and skewing its coverage of international affairs in favour of Russia.

The broadcaster has faced previous enforcement action from Ofcom, with a fine issued in 2019 over what the broadcast regulator said were repeated breaches of impartiality rules.

Ofcom said that numerous news and current affairs programmes had shown “serious and repeated failures” to report with due impartiality over issues including the Salisbury Novichok poisonings, which were perpetrated by Russia.

RT attempted to challenge the fine but lost at both the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

Earlier this month, Germany’s media regulator moved to ban RT’s German-language channel, finding it had failed to adhere to media licensing laws. What are the chances that BRCSA or MultiChoice will do the same in Africa?

A petition was put up to have the channel removed on DStv.
