DStv’s main broadcasting competitor in South Africa, Openview, has grown significantly, with its total number of viewers increasing by over 3 million in nine years.regarding its inquiry into the South African TV market.
Although it is not a direct competitor to DStv as a non-subscription platform, Icasa considers Openview a service that the pay-TV operator’s customers may opt to switch to. The regulator also said that Openview defied another barrier to entry that it identified — brand loyalty to DStv. However, eMedia Investments’ contribution to Remgro’s headline earnings declined by 13.1% to R113 million, down from R130 million in the previous financial year.
Part of the sub-licensing deal restricted the SABC from broadcasting the content on any third-party platforms it didn’t own, including Openview. The SABC and eMedia called the restriction on Openview “anti-competitive” and “irrational”, with eMedia laying a complaint with the competition authorities and courts in South Africa.
