Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

Ever wanted to see Africa from afar well Travel Africa Network got you covered Africa recieved its first travel channel in 2019 with the introduction of Travel Africa Network (TAN) which covers 135 million homes in Europe with its extensive tourism lineup in the form of culture, luxury and adventure and many more. Not long ago, a reader spotted the channel online and was curious to know why an African skewed brand isn't available in the same way a channel like HONEY can be seen in the market. Similar to The Africa Channel (TAC), the content can be viewed elsewhere. In this case, Nigeria's very own Spice TV from Consolidated Media Associates. Read the next story to see why this deal benefitted TAN in the long run. It will be shocking if TAN was fortunate to become a channel in Africa. Travel Channel has competition 3 years after Discovery Inc. turned Travel Channel into a horror show from the main market. More countries start adapting to this format as the brand is runn

eToonz has been regarded as the D+ player in eMedia's portfolio that they've turned it into another Rewind channel for all the kids slate available on e.tv's youth block Craze. Even though 24/7 is out of the question here's ways the channel could improve: 1. Repeats This is common denominator in most linear channels but the case with eToonz has worsened. Although there has been several adjustment the channel is far from finished. In this case, we have Pokémon and Power Rangers which have dedicated slots to recycle the same batch of episodes for who knows how long. In 2019, when production was halted on all of Craze local youth programming. eToonz temporarily adapted to a 7 day type format where the weekend slate wasn't entirely dedicated to weekday programming. Even though, eMedia has no intention of reviving that concept. They could however give weekends its own repeats it doesn't have to be the entire schedule perhaps. Weekends could offer a par

It's been months since we got an update on SABC's long awaited streaming service. Through financial statements, it was estimated that the platform will be functional by the end of March 2022. Don't be surprised if it missed the deadline, I could think up a number of reasons why the platform failed to materialize back in 2018 one of them have to do with the Asian streaming platform VIU. As some were aware last year, eMedia Investments breached their contract with the brand for their content and they can only stop distributing content to them by 2024. Just by looking at eVOD, you can clearly see that there's several loopholes in this agreement and SABC could have complicated things for themselves in this area maybe their agreement with them is different from eMedia Investments. The only thing everyone knew about this streaming service was the fact no new content would be invested toward the platform and that it will be similar to BBC's iPlayer. Here's a cou

Winnie The Pooh could be heading to streaming services According to DisnInsider, a project featuring the lovable bear was in early development for Disney+. It will likely be animated since Winnie The Pooh has been more known for animation than live action. This will be the first TV animated Winnie Pooh Project in 15 years since Playhouse Disney My Friends Tigger And Pooh. Back in 2015, the Irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon pitched a Winnie The Pooh Reboot to Disney with a full animated pilot in hand, sadly in 2016 the pilot was passed. Cartoon Network is heading to space Last year, Cartoon Network was looking for storyboard artists for a untitled space adventure which is said to carry a lot of comedic storytelling and dynamic action. They seem to be concealing details about the show. The only known facts about the project is that it will be an animated series which will be held in space and carry a lot of action adventure. Judging by the facts it could be new concept or Ga

After 24 years, National Geographic and possibly National Geographic Wild end their run in the UK as The Walt Disney Company moves further content to their streaming service Disney+ as direct-to-consumer business is the company's top priority. According to a source from Digital Spy, there's currently discussion between Sky and Virgin with The Walt Disney Company over switching to a new feed. As of right now, National Geographic is expected to migrate onto Disney+ next month. Still no confirmation if this includes National Geographic Wild but it seems very likely. Last year, it was reported National Geographic production hub in the UK had been aligned with Disney EMEA . This only increased suspicion for the brand's possible demise for viewers in that region. Aside from that, their linear offering in the main market has seen a decline in households with all brands losing between 7-10 million consumers as Disney+ viewership skyrocketed. Internationally, The Walt

Telemundo becomes a medical center Several weeks ago, I unveiled a set of programming for the channel and Nurses is the second show to make the list. Can't say I'm entirely surprised as a portion of their lineup can be predictable at times. María Clara González works as head of nurses in one of the most recognized hospitals in the city: the Santa Rosa. Life would seem to smile at her were it not for the monotony into which her marriage with Román has fallen, with whom she has two children. The series was produced by RCN Television the same company that brought Law Of The Heart last year and also in charge of the upcoming series set to air on the channel Coffee With A Woman's Fragrance . The series airs daily at 22:00 CAT from 15 February replacing 100 Days To Fall In Love. The Soapy FanFest is over for now Last year, S3 unveiled another design for their brand and invested in more international content. At the time, the SABC had stated that there were uncertain

In a surprise reveal, The Wall Street Journal reports WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS Inc. are “exploring a possible sale” for their joint-owned CW network. According to the report, they are considering options of “a significant participation” or the total ownership of another entity, and WSJ reports Nexstar Media Group Inc. is “among the contenders.” Nexstar’s current portfolio is mainly local affiliated radio and television stations, but they are also partial owners of Food Network and online media such as Zap2it and The Hill. According to the media, the conversations are "very advanced," but they could still fall apart, pointing out that Nexstar taking a majority share on the network seems to be the "most frequent scenario." However, The Wall Street Journal points out that “there are other stakeholders” eager to face The CW, but talks with Nexstar seem to be the most advanced. In the previously stated scenario that seems the most likely, ViacomCBS and WarnerMe

Food Network continues to be The Guy Fieri and Bobby Flay channel The 56-year-old celebrity chef has signed an exclusive, new three-year contract with the network, Discovery Inc. confirmed in a statement last year: "I'm thrilled to extend my relationship with Food Network and Discovery," Flay said in the statement. "Although these talks to renew took a little longer than expected, the important thing is that both sides are happy that we can now build on an already rock-solid foundation. Stay tuned for some incredibly exciting new shows as I promise to take food and cooking to places we've never imagined before." The Beat Bobby Flay has signed on to stay once his current, three-year contract expires at the end of 2021. In October, it was reported that he would be parting ways with Food Network after 27 years, after both parties could not agree on financial terms. Though Flay's new paycheck remains undisclosed, he will develop new content for the cu
