Morena Starring Paola Nuñez Premieres In March 2020 On eExtra

eExtra supplied by eMedia Investments which is available on OpenView channel 105, DStv channel 195 and Starsat channel 489 is once again over indulging their viewers with more choice in programming with the premiere of Pasion Morena in short Morena. The series debuted back in 2009 on Azteca TV and 2013 on FOX. The series was originally slated to premiere back in February of last year on the defunct channel eBella in a much appropriate timeslot which I'll get back to as you read on.

Morena is about the destinies of her and Leo who meet in a serenity of a jungle. There first encounter stirs a lot of attraction between them that lingers in their memory forever. With both of them having a different kind of background, it’s so hard to know if their two opposing world will let their love and passion flourish.

Morena Madrigal (Paola Nunez) is a skillful and a well traveled woman who studied in New York while Leo is a man who was raised in the jungle and is ignorant about his origin since the man he considers his father is not.

After that first encounter in the jungle they both part ways without knowing that they would meet again in Mexico City. Leo is in the city looking for his real father when he meets Morena again. Leo does not know how to behave in the big city because of his jungle background, Morena offers to teach him etiquette and they gradually fall in love.
With the love they have for one another as strong as a foundation stone, Morena and Leo stand together to fight for their love although their greedy enemies unite against them.

The problem with this show is the timeslot eExtra airs it at 8:50 with repeats at 2:05 so unless e.tv plots to air it as well or repeat it on Rewind or try to scrap one of the repeats from eExtra timeslot I assume the show won't pull much viewers since most of the population is at work or school.

eExtra Switches Back To 24/7 Channel When eBella Stops Airing At The End Of March

eExtra the South African digital satellite
television channel supplied by eMedia Investments on their Openview platform as well as MultiChoice's DStv and On Digital Media (ODM) Starsat switches back to 24 hour channel from April.

The reason for the switch has to do with the shutdown of the unsuccessful female based channel eBella. Several if not most of eBella shows will be transmitted on eExtra in April as a "weekday guilty pleasure afternoon block" on the channel.

eExtra hasn't been schedule wise for sometime now which has built a major impact on the brand. You'll find some new content on this channel get the late night treatment similar to what Turner U.S. and International does with Cartoon Network and Boomerang where 2-3 shows get attention while others which are on an indefinite hiatus for some reason get the death treatment by being put weekday mornings or nights with no repeats most of the time and if there was they'd put it at a time less viewers would be tuned in so Turner's channels are way worse than eExtra. This treatment is unacceptable as it forces some viewers to distance themselves from the channel and the minute something good comes on you miss it and for those who want to see the show can't since the channel is not schedule wise.

eExtra is basically described as a premium entertainment channel in HD including sitcoms, drama series, reality, telenovelas, court shows, lifestyle and movies after the shutdown of eBella you can say weekdays eExtra became a telenovela channel with a dash of court shows, drama series and news as indicated:

Then you have your weekend lineup the channel has more variety but no movies. When eExtra first launched the weekends always had variety so its no different even after they switch it back to 24 hours. Two things you should pay attention to the telenovelas dominate the weekend to a lesser degree Saturday is filled with Indian telenovelas and 1 turkish telenovela but you'll hardly notice any difference as usual as there's reality shows, news and sitcoms while Sunday is consists mostly of programs catered for Afrikaans speakers plus news, telenovelas and local series like Traffic! and Umlilo as indicated:
