Shocker! DStv drops four e entertainment channels

That's it for e's entertainment channels on DStv. All of them have been culled except for e.tv.

eExtra, eMovies, eToonz and eMovies Extra will no longer be available on DStv from 1 April 2022. The same day that subscriptions increase so viewers will be paying more to lose four channels.

eNCA and the daily Afrikaans News bulletin on kykNet will remain on DStv exclusively - because it's much more psychologically healthy for the nation to suffer through hours and hours of bad news instead of being entertained. 

What are DStv viewers getting in return for this loss? The Dreamworks kids channel on 304 and a new movie channel launching later this year apparently, packages unconfirmed. 

The KIX action movie channel will be revived for Family and Access viewers from 31 March on Channel 114.

eExtra, eMovies, eToonz and eMovies Extra will still be available on OpenView.

Hi TVSA
What happens to the repeat episodes of shows like "Days Of Our Lives" that were moved from the e.tv channel to the eExtra channel ?

Hi Axe23
We assume the eExtra and e.tv schedules will stay the same once eExtra's no longer on DStv so the repeat will remain on eExtra.

We'll keep a watch on the schedules to see if it returns to e.tv and let you know.
