Reminder: New Amsterdam Coming Soon To e.tv

As mentioned earlier, e.tv is 3 years behind the United States and also on M-Net which is available on DStv in South Africa.

Season 1 airs weekdays at 20:30 from 4 October.

New Amsterdam isn't the only program said to air on the channel. Other programs for the channel include FBI, The Neighborhood, S.W.A.T. and Blue Bloods.

[PRESS RELEASE]: AEW Rampage On TNT Africa, Cartoon Network Africa's Third Dance Show And Tom And Jerry In New York On Boomerang Africa

TNT to bring down the house with brand-new AEW Rampage

Walking the walk is what TNT is all about; tailormade for African fans, TNT offers the best of contemporary and Hollywood blockbusters, with programming built on an action-driven, pulse-raising slate. So, where there’s action, best believe TNT is leading the pack! That’s why wrestling fans are in for an exhilarating surprise this spring when TNT Africa, launches All Elite Wrestling (AEW) Rampage across the African continent on Saturday, the 2nd of October @ 10:00 CAT.

An electrifying show featuring the hottest stars of today and tomorrow, showcasing their athleticism, charisma and creativity on the fastest rising stage in all of professional wrestling, AEW Rampage joins TNT with the existing AEW Dynamite, turning TNT into a live wrestling territory.

There are more thrills in store for die-hard wrestling fans as legendary professional wrestler, Mark Henry, otherwise known as ‘The World’s Strongest Man’, enters the fray as a commentator on AEW Rampage as well as a scout, coach and mentor at AEW. The former US Olympic athlete held down a 25-year career in WWE where he was a two-time world champion.

Joining him on the screen is Johannesburg born, 33-year-old Angelico (Adam Bridle), who brings an undeniable South African flavour to All Elite Wrestling. In recent months, Angelico’s star has risen significantly on the AEW rankings since being featured on AEW Dynamite. His first AEW appearance was at the inaugural Double or Nothing event as part of The Hybrid 2 with Jack Evans. Since then, Angelico has continued to impress in tag team matches and singles competition — most notably in an intense match against Cody Rhodes on AEW Dynamite in December 2020.

The newest and coolest wrestling promotion in the world is also here to make an unforgettable, showstopping entrance with a non-stop, back-to-back eight-episode premiere on the day of the launch from 10:00 until 16:30 (CAT). Viewers can then watch a brand-new episode of AEW: Rampage every Saturday after that, and to end off the #WrestlingWeekendsonTNT, on Sundays, still get a dose of fan favourite, AEW Dynamite. And good news for DStv subscribers. Suppose you miss the weekly episodes on DStv; for the first time, all AEW episodes will be available on DStv Catch Up the same day following the channel premiere.

“We are excited to bring AEW Rampage to our loyal wrestling fans. The reception to AEW Dynamite was proof that our audiences were hungry for raw, authentic, athletic content. Rampage is going to take that viewing experience a few levels higher,” says Guillermo Farré, Head of the WarnerMedia General Entertainment channels across France, Iberia and Africa.

Brand-new CN Dance Challenge show is popping and locking its way to Cartoon Network!

If you’re struggling to see past the heavy cloud of dust rising around Cartoon Network this October, don’t be alarmed! That’s because the coolest kids’ channel will be turning up the volume, bumping up the beats, and serving some serious moves with the brand-new CN Dance Challenge launching from Saturday, 2nd of October at 09:15 CAT!!

Following three successful seasons of Cartoon Network’s Pop Up Party, this new original and exciting dancing series brings on two super-talented animated dance instructors, Anwuli and Kingsley. Every week, Anwuli and Kingsley will ‘pop up’ on-air - and on www.CartoonNetworkAfrica.com - with a new African-inspired dance routine created using an exciting mix of exclusive CN Dance Challenge music tracks for kids to follow. Every week, there will also be a surprise battle with either Anwuli or Kingsley and a kid who managed to crack the dance from the week before in their own unique style.

With Shaku Shaku, Shakara, Ngimuhle, Cat Dance and many more Afro-dances, viewers will feel like they have taken a trip around the continent! Anwuli and Kingsley will stop at nothing to get everyone on their feet and put their best foot forward as they join the Cartoon Network dance crew!

True to its mission to work with African creators to bring audiences across the continent content that is authentic and feels like home, Cartoon Network worked with talented Nigerian director-animator Benjamin Sokomba Dahzi, popularly known as Bennydee. Dahzi used his cutting-edge innovative motion capture techniques to bring the two characters to life. “I’m really excited to have partnered with Cartoon Network on this project and admire the commitment the brand is making to unearth and develop African talent,” he says.

“At Cartoon Network, we are committed to getting closer to our audience, and with the incredible audience response to our last three dance shows across South Africa and Kenya, we wanted to continue showcasing some incredible African kids' talents while contributing to the development of local animation,” says Ariane Suveg Head of Kids channels Africa, France and Israel.

“At the same time, we wanted to create something new and innovative. This culminated in the creation of two animated characters, especially for this new show in collaboration with a fantastic African talent from Nigeria, Benjamin Dahzi!" she adds.

Are you ready to bust some moves, dance up a storm and impress in Cartoon Network’s (dance) battle? Head on over to Cartoon Network Africa on Saturday, 2 October @ 09:15 CAT to find out!

Winning the hearts of millions is no easy feat, but after more than 80 years and countless accolades, the iconic duo, Tom and Jerry, are back, better than ever, leaving the suburbs behind for new escapades in New York City.

To say Tom and Jerry have been around the block would be the understatement of the century!

From Monday, 04th of October, Boomerang Africa will premiere Tom and Jerry in New York, the show parents have been waiting for to introduce their kids to.

Follow our favourite cat and mouse as they settle into their new digs at the Royal Gate Hotel and unleash mayhem across The Big Apple, inciting hilarious chaos uptown, downtown, and everywhere their manic escapades take them. So, best believe, Central Park, giant museums, department stores, and even subway cars will be turned upside down, inside out or just be totally annihilated in this brand-new Tom and Jerry series!

All these chases and games have not been in vain; in fact, with their lengthy history on the small and big screen, Tom and Jerry continue to bring on the childhood nostalgia and fresh memories with equal measure. The two have also been over-achievers in their own unique way, having garnered 13 Oscar nominations for best short subject cartoon and winning seven of them in the franchise’s history. Plus, they did all that without even saying much; legend has it that the first time Tom and Jerry spoke at length was in their 1992 feature film. It does not get any more iconic than that!

Get excited for the hilarious return of everyone’s favourite frenemies, as Tom and Jerry in New York premieres on Monday, 4 October at 07:25 CAT on Boomerang Africa!

UPDATED (19/09/2021): IMPACT WRESTLING CANCELLED AFTER A YEAR??? As eMedia Investments Adds Singing Competition Britain's Got Talent In Its Timeslot On e.tv [RUMOR]

Earlier this month, eMedia Investments shocked viewers with the news they no longer have rights to La Liga after announcing last year they acquired 4 year rights to the match.

Now it looks like that might not be the only thing cancelled on eMedia's portfolio apparently through an updated schedule the twelfth season of Britain's Got Talent replaces Impact Wrestling after a year on on e.tv from September 26th.

Maybe Impact Wrestling will become an Openview exclusive through their News and Sport channel seeing as they still mention it unlike DBE TV but I have my doubts on that as mentioned they no longer have rights to La Liga even after signing a 4 year agreement and also they haven't been promoting it for a while now.

Perhaps, they're putting more focus on eVOD as mentioned a month ago. They'd be investing R100 million on fresh content for that service and those millions had to come from somewhere.

Cancellation of La Liga was probably in that R100 million perhaps even all the sports e.tv acquired for their channel alongside News and Sport. So where does that leave News and Sport?

Since the introduction of SABC Sport onto the Openview platform, eMedia Investments has been very distant with their News and Sport channel through promotion on Openview as they divert attention to a rival's sports channel and it's offering.

It wouldn't be surprising if SABC Sport picked up rights to some of these matches seeing as the channel is pretty much the glue in the relationship.

Britain's Got Talent season 12 airs Sundays at 16:40 on e.tv apparently from 26 September. Chances are this is nothing but it seems very likely to occur.

SCHEDULE UPDATE: Impact Wrestling is saved as e.tv now moves it to Saturdays at 16:20.

We Are Toonz: Could DBE TV Be The Next Channel To Go Off Air On Openview?

Openview recently put up a new advert where you can see them promote their set of channels but interesting enough on their kids segment We Are Toonz adds Takalani Sesame to the offering.

Takalani Sesame is a product of the SABC and Sesame Workshop which broadcasts on SABC 1-3 but why is this show present while others were ignored?

SABC 1-3 is available under a must-carry clause while SABC Sport serves as an additional channel so it made sense to promote their sports offering.

Takalani Sesame does form part of a division for SABC Education which operates a 24 hour channel through DTT and TelkomOne. Is it possible that SABC Education will find it's way onto Openview likely as a replacement for DBE TV?

Through this advert, Openview lists every other channel except DBE TV from what was mentioned during the launch was that it's a pop-up channel which should have ended last year but didn't for some apparent reason.

SABC Education does offer similar content to DBE TV with the likes of Geleza Nathi assisting Grade 10-12 and Words And Numbers catered towards Grade 1-3.

SABC stated earlier this year they'd be rolling out two entertainment channels which usually consists of viewers aged 18-49 and SABC Education recently adjusted their schedule and now include religious and gospel shows which appeal to that audience.

SABC Children which hasn't been finalized as yet could potentially be the replacement if DBE TV goes off air since both channels cater toward the same audience.

A Blast From The Past: The Historical Drama Kurt En Shura Is Available For Streaming On eVOD + New Developments Coming To eExtra

eVOD launched early in August offering a mix of local and international content part of which included a section known as Afrikaans Premium which serves a pay version of Kuiertyd offering current, former and future programming for Kuiertyd.

eVOD started out with two exclusive shows through Afrikaans Premium which were Voelvry which has been available through Dizi on StarTimes every weekday and eExtra every Sunday alongside the remake of the Korean drama, Dokter Ali which makes its October debut on eExtra replacing Stiletto Vendetta.

Now the platform rolled out another show taking their premium offering to 3 shows which is known other than the Dizi repeat Kurt En Shura the only twist the show is now available in Afrikaans.

Kurt En Shura (Kurt Seyit ve Şura), is about the adventures of two people in love who are forced to leave their lives and family behind and escape to Istanbul during the Russian Revolution. Kıvanç Tatlıtuğ) and (Farah Zeynep Abdullah) take up the lead roles.

Kurt En Shura alongside Voelvry are considered as repeats for those who viewed through Timeless Dizi Channel with the only exception being Dokter Ali.

With that in mind, it wouldn't surprise me if e.tv or any of its brands picked up the rights to Bana Sevmeyi Anlat (Wings Of Love) while Timeless Dizi Channel probably airs Doodsondes, Bittersoet, The Girl Named Feriha and Vierspeel Vuurspel in Turkish and English.

Kurt En Shura aired from September 13th with 10 episodes available for streaming on eVOD with no exact timeframe on when it will make its linear debut on e.tv and eExtra.

According to sources, eExtra will be making some schedule adjustments with Voelvry moving away from Sundays and occupying weekday repeat slot for Deur Dik En Dun at 21:30 from September 20th with the only repeats available on eVOD.

After 2 Years, The Smithsonian Channel Stops Airing On StarSat In South Africa And StarTimes Across Africa

Following the news of FOX's demise by The Walt Disney Company from October, viewers on StarTimes are set to lose out on another premium channel which is known other than The Smithsonian Channel.

The Smithsonian Channel operated by ViacomCBS International launched on StarSat in SA and StarTimes in the rest of Africa in November 2019 alongside Love Nature and at the time served as replacement channels for National Geographic and National Geographic WILD before returning a year.

StarTimes doesn't specify the exact reason for the termination of The Smithsonian Channel but they promise to to source out more content on top of looking for replacement channels.

From December 2020 till now StarSat lost over 10 channels some of which can be found on Openview and DStv including the entire set of Discovery Channels and two local music channels.

Throughout that period, the only thing they could say is they're sourcing out more content. So far only 4 channels launched: Jib TV (Zimbabwe), MUTV, Fashion TV and Roots TV (South Africa) none of these channels have anything appealing or similar to the channels lost.

With that in mind, a lot of viewers will likely just cancel their subscription seeing as most of the premium channels have been removed and opt to another service provider while others will just harass them for more channels with better content.
