## History

[edit]

eMedia Investment researched what viewers preferred the most on e.tv and Openview. The decision was rather than aggregate reality content on the main e.tv channel there should be a new channel, which currently is exclusive to Openview.[3]

Marlon Davids, managing director for the e.tv channels, says reality shows continue to grow in popularity and is thrilled that e.tv has presented this self-packaged channel.[4]
