Entertainment Inside Us (Insidus)

Last year, the public broadcaster announced plans to restructure their offering one of which included the distribution of repeats. For decades, shows like Uzalo and 7de Laan have been viewed on multiple channels now the plan is to limit the offering on a single brand. This means if The Estate airs on SABC 3 it can only be found on the exact channel or SABC+ if you miss out on previous episodes or a whole week. As advised few months prior these changes would take effect between now to April 2023 or in this case, SABC 2. As of now, Skeem Saam, Generations: The Legacy, The Estate and Uzalo are airing in the 11:30 to 13:30 slot. From Monday 3 April, those shows will be replaced with rebroadcasts of Daddy Steps, Voetspore and Forever Young with other attractions such as Judge Jerry. For those not familiar with the former eExtra program, Judge Jerry sees the former talk show host Jerry Springer put his law degree to use, hearing real cases and rendering verdicts in a TV courtroom.

In 2021, SABC and eMedia Investments expanded their partnership to include SABC's 19 radio stations and the addition of SABC Sport which currently serves as the top 10 channels on Openview. It's clear now that the red brand had more up their sleeves aside from channels. As noted, eMedia Investments on top of serving as an arch rival to the SABC will also be distributing selected content from the public broadcaster, Takalani Sesame and uBettina Wethu. They've been doing that with M-Net but it's more shocking in these circumstances. Out of all shows, why did it have to be uBettina Wethu which is currently on SABC 1 with the channel set to rebroadcast the first season as if consumers haven't seen it already. Takalani Sesame is still present on SABC why play second fiddle to competition. Most of the channel is local at this point and these shows are probably one way to improve the local quota particularly on the kiddies section following the demise of Craze's loc

Last year, SuperSport and the WWE extended their partnership with the world's biggest wrestling promotion which would see the WWE Network fold under Showmax as seen in Indonesia, Phillipines, Australia and India which have all terminated the brand. SuperSport would continue to offer Raw, SmackDown, NXT and premium live PPVs across their platforms. As for the WWE Channel, that's expected to continue running on channel 128 but would it be shocking if it didn't considering it was never mentioned earlier. Vince McMahon, the founder of WWE has been exploring a potential sale of the brand for several months and had recieved a number of potential buyers at the time including Comcast (NBCUniversal), Disney, Amazon and the Saudis apparently. If you view this from a logical perspective, I can see why this deal was put on hold. If you take to account, the mentioned potential buyers at the time such as Disney. They probably wouldn't want to bundle WWE on Showmax especially i

During the week, MultiChoice and NBCUniversal unveiled another Housewives instalment for the kykNET channel titled Die Real Housewives Van Die Winelands which will basically follow the hustle of various women in a certain geographical area. It will follow the champagne catfights and soirée-filled social circles of a new group of Afrikaans-speaking women, all living and gossiping in South Africa's famed Cape winelands region around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek, known for its "old money" and its centuries-old, multi-million rand family-owned wine estates. According to kykNET, the Cape winelands offer "wealth, vineyards and wine" but it is also here where the tongues are wagging in the high-society social circles over

A few days ago, a source had mentioned that Soete Wraak currently seen on eVOD would be launching on eExtra in the coming days and this was after the channel announced the launches of new series Hart Van Goud and Roekeloos Dade . eMedia Investments has piled up their eVOD streaming service with four yet-to-be-seen developments for eExtra including Om Elke Draai, Chrysalis and Ramo with Die Put being one of the brand's longest running action series is currently on its third season. Aside from kykNET, eMedia Investments has been having a bit of rivalry amongst their portfolio or in this case eVOD and eExtra. As seen already, consumers on the app are currently streaming the third season of Die Put with potential spoilers ahead of its launch on eExtra. While as consumers viewing on eExtra are enjoying an even wider offering of fresh shows such as Elif and soon to exiting Verdeelde Liefde, #DisComplicated and Die Vertroueling. Other shows joining the lineup include Kurt En Shura

Months after receiving no word from the channel about the romcom Soete Wraak , we finally have an update about the future of the show. Turns out, eExtra will be airing it in a double bill format every Sunday from 8pm signalling the possible return of Kuiertyd Premium. Earlier in the year, Kuiertyd Premium was merged with the weekday offering now being used as a catch-up for Die Vertroueling. After a few months, that goes up in flames as consumers have to wait at least 2 hours before they can catch-up with what they've missed. 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. Consumers will just have to wait a while as eVOD builds their offering. On the bright side, consumers are getting more choice in entertainment. As mentioned, Kuiertyd Premium might be retu
