Just as you thought the Disney owned channel FOX Life couldn't shock you any further they just did. By introducing four new telenovelas to customers across Africa.
The bad part about this is most of Africa excluding Southern Africa have seen all these telenovelas through their local stations or through StarTimes/StarTimes even the Turkish soap operas that came on this channel at launch were also repeats from various other African markets.
When news spread over these new telenovelas, FOX Life recieved mixed reactions from viewers demanding answers on the fate of Turkish telenovelas they left on a cliffhanger since during the redundant channel 3 years they've only been repeating past seasons of these shows without airing new seasons.
It's possible that Turkish programming has been scrapped entirely for this station so the likelihood is that it has something to do with the long-awaited channel Timeless Drama Channel (TDC).
The Turkish channel announced back in 2018 which is set to launch in South Africa as mentioned in SPI International website even though no official launch date has been revealed it's possible that the channel will debut within 2 years in this market.
While viewers had to wait for the channel FOX Life offered this lineup for a short while and constantly repeated the programs with no additional programs. Back in October 2019, they scrapped these telenovelas from their lineup only to revive the lineup with the same hot mess later in March of 2020.
Now they scrap it and silently added for Mexican telenovelas from a Disney inspired company Televisa. For a channel like FOX Life the name doesn't suit the channel you're better off changing it into FOX Drama(tic).
Timeless Drama Channel is set to launch in South Africa with a ranch of telenovelas and movies both of which will be viewable in HD. If you're living in South Africa you can find Turkish programming dubbed in Afrikaans through e.tv and eExtra.
