Disney Channel And Junior Africa's Schedule Dated August 6, 2023

With speculation of a possible closure within the EMEA region, we've monitored their lineup on a month to month basis and compared to previous years it almost looks as if The Disney Channels are prepping for the inevitable. It's no secret that Disney has been prioritising their direct-to-consumer market or in this case, Disney+. As there's been a decline in households to have viewed their content so Disney+ is one way to keep these consumers onboard. Of course, it has led to closure of Disney Channels in the UK, Italy, Australia and Asia as they're funneling content away from Disney+ and this has angered consumers so you see where they're getting at in removing these channels. Below is a weekday schedule for Disney Channel and Disney Junior: " bold means shows are ending soon or had been cancelled 00:00 The Owl House 00:25 The Owl House 00:50 Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Catnoir 01:15 Miraculous: Tales Of Ladybug And Catnoir 01:40 Lab Rats: Elit

Could eExtra Be Phasing Out The Bollywood Section Home To Naagin And The Heir?

Image
eExtra is a general entertainment channel managed by eMedia Investments which had garnered popularity for its induction of Kuiertyd which has brought several international productions including Kruispad, Gebroke Harte, Doodsondes, Bittersoet and Impak. The channel also featured programming from India such as Twist Of Fate, Naagin and The Heir and even Asian dramas such as Ice Adonis, High Society Scandal and Battle Through The Heavens. For several years, eMedia had been shuffling the channel's line-up after having shows like Family Feud and Fear Factor on eReality and Chicago PD and The Goldbergs on eXposed. Even their current offering has seen a reduction or possible extinction over the years. Before Kuiertyd, the channel was seen as a portal for international stories seen on Telemundo, Show TV and Globo most of which had been phased out for more Bollywood and Asian programming. Over the past year, even that appears to be the next thing eExtra is looking to limit. By t

Not long ago, Boomerang was rebranded to Cartoonito in the rest of Asia offering original shows such as Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders alongside other shows like Grizzy & Lemmings, Alice & Lewis and Baby Looney Tunes. Not much is known about the channel's sudden departure, Warner Bros. Discovery was said to be streamlining and keeping some of their in studio content.
