Mindset bites the dust During the year, Mindset Network had been going through a lot of changes/reconstruction with most of their pages and websites either being abandoned or deleted . This was the first place to theorize the demise of the curriculum based channel. Mindset Network had been doing a lot of downsizing in the last months so much so that the channel didn't offer interactive but prerecorded learning. Then there was the outdated programme guide which labelled everything under channel name and description. This partnership with Liberty Learn was likely one way to save themselves from scrutiny with them being an NGO. Liberty would aid them financially while Mindset would distribute the resources to consumers. Liberty Learn is available on DStv, StarSat and Openview. Teleyawnder is back for more Decisions During the week, production was paused on new content for the channel following Cameroon and Uganda anti-gay laws which prohibit the distribut

Some of the content available on the channel include The Walking Dead, Flower Of Evil and Empire. The channel was added as a replacement to eReality and over the past year a supplement to the former international content viewed on e.tv. I mean the channel kind of resembles the main channel in a lot of aspects they offer the best of eReality and eExtra. Prior to those two channels rollout on Openview, most of their content was seen on e.tv at the time and as these channels became a household name that only left an empty void on the main channel with a portion of their channel bombarded with their repeats. In the later parts of 2010, e.tv was the Bop TV of our generation featuring shows like Family Feud, Fear Factor, NCIS: Los Angeles and The Resident. Fast forward to 2023, the latter can only be viewed through Openview wi

By integrating technology that students are familiar with, we’re making the learning process more interactive, dynamic, and effective. As learners’ needs change

During the month, Telemundo halted further distribution of Nurses with further episodes made available on Universal+ through the DStv app . After Cameroon and Uganda passed laws prohibiting the promotion of homosexual content in the regions. As advised, consumers in South Africa are viewing the same content as these regions therefore halting primetime on the channel much earlier than expected with Nurses that was initially slated to end in July was cut halfway through the fourth season. Basically, Telemundo became a reruns channel as primetime is currently funneled with Almost Yours, Decisions, Queen Of The South and Lord Of The Skies joining existing repeats like For Love And Justice and On The Other Side Of The Wall. According to sources who are following up on the matter, the channel was meant to launch a new series in place of Nurses and welcome Mexico's biggest trafficker in the third installment to Queen Of The South. Following these passing laws these have

Finland’s Rovio Entertainment has partnered with Washington-based game developer Legends of Learning to launch new Angry Birds games with a focus on education.

The “Diary of a Mad Black Woman” star has been considered the frontrunner to win the auction for BET Group, whose properties include cable channels BET and VH1 along with the BET+ streaming service. But Perry is losing patience with the drawn-out process after making an offer that’s short of $3 billion — a price tag that other investors also consider to be lofty, according to a source close to the situation. The filmmaker, who already owns a 25% stake in BET and BET+, has private equity backing for his offer, the insider added. “He is used to getting his way and is frustrated,” the source said, adding that final bids are due by mid-July. Paramount Global bought BET for $2.7 billion in 2000 when the Shari Redstone-owned company was called Viacom. The company w
