For a while now there had been questions about what eMedia Investments would do with the load of the content that has yet to be seen Om Elke Draai, Chrysalis and Ramo on eVOD as eExtra has its own offering Hart Van Goud and Roekeloos Dade now that's been covered.

In 2021, eMedia Investments unveiled they are much anticipated streamer, eVOD. What was meant to viewed as a momentous occasion for the red brand ended in chaos after Asian based streamer VIU accused the company of breaching their agreement. VIU was launched in the market by March 2019 and at the time eMedia Investments signed a content agreement which gave the streamer exclusive rights to various content including Scandal and Imbewu through 2024 but that's not the case anymore. As seen on various outlets yesterday, eMedia Investments reclaimed these shows so where does that leave VIU - we honestly don't know. But it wouldn't be shocking if they became another Acorn TV. For now consumers can stream these shows from April 4. Joining the lineup is the second season to Splintered Pieces of which eMedia Investments has yet to make available on their linear platforms.
