You're seeing it here first.

Studio Universal (DStv 119) will start tomorrow on MultiChoice's DStv Premium and DStv Compact as a new movie channel in South Africa and Africa and here's your first indication of how the movies and content on the channel will actually be themed and structured.

This image I took at the Studio Universal press conference and launch event last week in Johannesburg (look out for special coverage from TV with Thinus from tomorrow including interviews) give a programme grid break-down of how Studio Universal will be themeing the various nights.

Studio Universal will have Action Nights on Mondays, Crime Thrillers on Tuesdays, Hollywood Hits on Wednesdays, the Thursday Movie on Thursdays, do Comedy Night on Fridays and devote Saturdays and Sundays as Action Weekend.

Studio Universal also said ''primetime will be from 20:00 every night''.
