During the week, it was reported that MultiChoice would be looking to rebrand one of their current TV channels (1Magic) with Showmax filtered content . This comes with an additional R40-R50 for the affected consumers with others below paying an extra R20. As some readers are already aware, eMedia Investments launched a rival offering to DStv, Ultraview. It consists of two packages one catered to youth audiences while the other is Bollywood both of which are filtered to the likes of M-Net's AddMovies offering. Early reception wasn't pleased with this offering with some feeling DStv is superior as there's no sports or wide variety of channels. Then there's others that felt blackballed after being devoted Ovee fans had to miss out on shows like May I Come In Madam or Finding Prince Charming. Despite some minor setbacks, Ultraview serves as a popular addition to fans of Bollywood drama on Spice TV alongside the music offering on EDGE. As mentioned, Ultraview doe

Disney+ is getting more involved with internet-native animated series and has picked up global (excluding China) streaming rights to Moonbug’s new series Morphle and the Magic Pets and Europe, Middle East, and Africa rights to Zeptolab’s Om Nom Stories. It’s little wonder that a mostly kids and family-focused media company looking to bring profitability to its streaming platform would be interested in acquiring web-based animated series. A recent study showed that kids are spending more and more time on gaming platforms and free streaming apps like Youtube, so it makes sense that Disney would be keen to bring some of that platform’s popular content to Disney+. There is also precedent for this kind of move paying off in a big way. Last year, Netflix shared viewership data from the first half of 2023, which showed that the platform’s most popular animated series was Cocomelon, another Moonbug property that started life as a web series. Morphle and the Magic Pets Morphle and t

Following the impact of the load shedding, MultiChoice curated two catch-up channels for DStv consumers in South Africa and Lesotho. SWITCH'D ON channel 109 would be available to consumers above Compact while channel 110 would cater for Family and Access. These two channels would offer content viewed on channels offered under Mzansi Magic and kykNET a few hours after it aired. It was met with praise by various DStv consumers but as seen in 2023 it didn't retain their remaining consumers with MultiChoice reporting zero growth. During the week, MultiChoice  adjusted the prices for each DStv package which comes to effect in April . They've also unveiled several attractions like La Liga and ESPN on Access with Compact Plus customers set to get revamped offering curated on Showmax. According to  News24 , they're also working on adding power banks to their decoders this way consumer's entertainment can still be enjoyed even after load shedding. If anything,

After failing to launch on Zee World in 2023, the Hindi drama Ribb Se Hai Dua is set to be making a landing to African shores in April as Sister Wives. Prior to this, eExtra will be rolling out a Marathi based drama from Zee Yuva titled Katti Batti in March. Katti Batti follows an unusual first meeting for an arranged marriage, Parag and Purva's parents have a major showdown and walk out on each other. However, this doesn't deter the young couple and they decide to meet again and eventually fall in love. Based on the film of the same name, the Marathi series starred lead couples Pushkar Sarad as Purva and Ashwini Kasar as Parag. It is currently unknown how many have been filmed for the drama but from what we can gather between 150-190 episodes with a 21 minute duration. Sister Wives revolves around, Haider Akhtar, a wealthy businessman, and his kind wife, Dua, encounter a transformative shift when they befriend outspoken Ghazal. Despite Haider’s clashes with Ghaz

During the week, MultiChoice adjusted the prices for each DStv package which comes to effect in April . They've also unveiled several attractions like La Liga and ESPN on Access with Compact Plus customers set to get revamped offering curated on Showmax. As reported moments ago, the offering in question is most likely 1Magic as MultiChoice had planned to axe the channel earlier in the month. But it turns out only the first run offering was what shuttered as Champions debuted on Mzansi Magic after being greenlit for 1Magic. This has left readers curious on MultiChoice's next phase of action for 1Magic. In a story published on News24 , it had been revealed that MultiChoice has a project in development known simply as X (working title). Channel X has no relation to Elon Musk as the name implies and if anything is based off the new Showmax logo. The project is set to reboot one of M-Net's linear channels and assist with the promotion of Showmax with a lineup of loc
