Toonami Has Been Added To Startimes Or StarSat Few Weeks After The Channel Stopped Airing On MultiChoice's DStv

As you already know DStv had Toonami running as a month long pop-up channel on the DStv platform to almost all DStv customers until the end of April even after its removal the channel still had an ongoing schedule for the rest of May.

For some reason the channel has been added to the Startimes (or StarSat) platform without any explanation or clarification from the platform on the duration of the channel or whether they plan to keep it full-time which seems unlikely.

Toonami which is owned by WarnerMedia targets the same audience as Cartoon Network the only difference is the channel is catered for superheroes. The channel carries action, drama and adventure.

The channel airs repeats of old DC Animation that once aired on Cartoon Network such as Batman, Green Lantern, Superman and Young Justice along with DC Movies.

This channel is just ripping off Superhero HQ for those of you who had DStv Compact back in March of last year at the time the channel was already ripping off the full-time Toonami channel on Kwesé TV till the brand shut down it's pay-tv service along with the full-time channel that had anime and selected Cartoon Network series at the time before being reduced to nothing but a pop-up channel.

It wouldn't surprise me if the channel eventually resurfaces again on DStv even after the channel's removal people still want the channel if it was on Compact you'd some happy faces over the channel's removal but since they made it more accessible more people grew attached to it cancelling out those that recieved the channel already under another name.

SABC Education: Description And Review

SABC launched their 6th long awaited channel SABC Education admist the pandemic to keep children learning through DTT, YouTube and SABC's platform.

The channel carries 21 programs currently and formerly seen on SABC 1-3 including One Day Leader S7, Inside The Baobab Tree S4, iSpani S8, Geleza Nathi S9, The Epic Hangout, Words And Numbers S8, Made In SA S5, 100% Youth S4, Hectic Nine-9 S9, Game Plan S1, Daily Thetha S2, The Magical World Of Luna Belle S3, 48 Hours S8, Xcellerate S2, Battle Of The Vs S1, Making Moves S8, It's For Life S9, TOMZ S11, Living Lands S9, Destination SA S5, Mapungubwe S1 and DBE Learning.

SABC CEO confirmed in an interview that they are negotiating with partners in regards to the addition of SABC Education for now the channel faces problems with regards to accessibility since most households can't afford to live stream lessons currently seen on the channel.

The channel's schedule format is similar to PBS Kids (DStv channel 313) except there's no animation or exclusive content - just another encore channel. The advantage is these repeats help those who missed out on an episode. Even though SABC has been overshadowed for many years, education has always been a part of the brand even though most people with pay-tv platforms moved on from SABC their programs have touched a lot of youth throughout the decade.

For those who were expecting to see series like Naruto, Ben 10 or A.N.T. Farm this is not the channel even though it's for kids they aren't educational. Before SABC had financial woes they plotted to launch 18 channels including a children (SABC Children) and an education channel (SABC Education). Judging by SABC Education this channel may be SABC's version of Mindset and since Uzalo and Skeem Saam are part of the brand it is going to be confusing on which station will air older seasons of the show since SABC Encore exists and if SABC Education is interested in adding those type of series with it being treated more like an accessory than a premium channel.
