Pop-up channel aims to beat load shedding

In light of (excuse the pun) the recent news from Eskom that load shedding is here to stay for at least the next two years, an innovative company is ensuring that viewers will never have to miss their favorite daily dramas.

Power-UP! is the new pop-up channel that provides 18 hours daily of local content – no matter how your load-shedding schedule changes.

Power-UP! (Channel 114 on Openview) is available from today 23 January and will repeat all the e.tv hit prime-time shows like Durban Gen, House of Zwide, Scandal!, and Imbewu from Monday to Friday, running with 2-hour loops. The channel will be on from 6 am–midnight every day. The Black Door will repeat on weekends from 11 pm.

According to a press release on Openview , Power-UP! will also showcase the omnibus repeats of all the best-loved Afrikaans dramas on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays). #DisComplicated, Daai Crazy Somer, Die Vertroueling, and more will be available if you missed it during the week due to load shedding.
