Everyday Novelas Shorts: eExtra Acquires Broadcasting Rights To 90s Sitcom Vetkoekpaleis And A Rebroadcast Of Winter Son And Nurses Launches On e.tv And Telemundo Respectively

More oldies for eExtra Last year, SABC cancelled 7de Laan after 23 years on the air filling primetime with a rebroadcast to 90s sitcom Vetkoekpaleis . The public broadcaster is going on through financial constraints so as such a replacement would take much longer to be commissioned. The public broadcaster was looking to produce cheaper long-form drama series and failed to keep up to their target. Now consumers have fled to eExtra's Kuiertyd to keep up with their Turkwood stories and to embrace for more local flavour on kykNET. As seen through media outlets, eMedia Investments had acquired rights to SABC 2's Vetkoekpaleis. Now what is worrisome here for SABC 2 is the implications, consumers will most likely just flee to eExtra when it airs therefore creating division with their viewership. Nurses makes a quick comeback Nurses was acquired on Telemundo back in 2022 and serves as one of the longest time productions viewed on the channel by Colombia's RC

More Channel Closures As The Disney Channel Exits OSN In The Middle East And North Africa, Could More Regions Likely Follow?

Image
Since Disney+ inception back in 2019, Disney has closed various linear channels globally to prioritise their direct to consumer business. With the latter currently situated within Europe and Africa, Disney has slowly but surely further distance themselves from their linear business. Last year, Disney axed their remaining linear offering seen in parts of Asia by New Year's Eve. They had also managed several linear channels within the Middle East and North Africa through pay-tv operator OSN who had substituted these brands with Cartoon Network and Animal Planet. These channels are still available in the regions but on smaller platforms which will make it a lot more easier to close. If there's one thing that's certain here, Disney Channel's days in South Africa and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa are numbered and although a timeframe has yet to be reached. We presume that Disney will look into closing feeds in the surrounding areas ahead of time. Similar to M
