Before eReality was flagged off, eMedia conducted extensive research to learn more about viewer preferences. Their findings showed that South Africans are more inclined to watch content on eTV and Openview. Therefore, creating a channel dedicated to reality shows would be better than aggregating reality content on the main eTV channel. The team also figured that the new channel would work best at broadcasting reality content that exclusively airs on Openview.
