Our world is Red! The eFamily of channels has realigned its visual identity to that of the e.tv mother brand. Where previously, each channel was represented by a different colour, all the e channels are now clearly one family.

The campaign recently kicked off on-air with the campaign message: Five Channels. One Colour. Unlimited Entertainment. This message speaks to the variety of content on offer and emphasises the eFamily of channels as an entertainment destination for all viewers. With a revamped content strategy and channel positioning, the e family is home to many more South Africans as all the e channels are now available on DStv, as well as OpenView HD. e.tv retains its strong position in the free-to-air market.

As a multi-platform offering, the eFamily of channels brings our viewers a variety of choice as each channel is clearly defined and is dedicated to delivering highly- entertaining content. The eFamily of channels are available on both DStv and OpenView HD. We are maintaining a strong free-to-air platform and offering only the highest quality and most talked-about shows, says Marlon Davids, MD of e.tv. Davids adds: We, as a family of channels, strive to offer the best entertainment that resonates with all of our viewers. Our world is now red and we want all viewers to be a part of it.
