Prediction: TLNovelas Gets A Name Change Amidst The Merger Between Univision And The Parent Company Televisa + Batch Of Programming Coming To Telemundo Africa And More Zee World Channels

Is the TLNovelas brand name done for?

Last year, it was reported Televisa and Univision would merge to form a new company Televisa-Univision. This merger would see their properties consolidate under one hub.

Televisa-Univision offer linear channels with some markets housing both brands separately while others package one of two. The question dives down to the fate to the linear offering globally.

Before the merger, Univision offered a customised station for Televisa soaps known as Univision TLNovelas. Now that they'll be a single entity perhaps this brand could become a reruns channel with further content moving to Univision while others house the branding.

Univision TLNovelas or vice versa makes a suitable name as the company couldn't think of a much better name than TLNovelas Univision. To be honest, I'd much rather have them use Prende TV as the name for their linear channels.

Keep feeling the passion with Telemundo

Telemundo continues its tough journey ahead following the switch to 7 days a week. The brand has been sourcing out content that not only entertains viewers but keeps their schedule occupied.

In 2022, the channel might welcome originals like Buscando A Frida (The Search For Frida), Parientes A La Fuerza (Family By Force), Pasión de Gavilanes (Hidden Passions) and Preso No. 1 (Prisoner No. 1) alongside new seasons of Operation Pacific and Queen Of The South.

Acquired series include Café Con Aroma De Mujer (Coffee With A Woman's Fragrance/Scent Of Passion) and Enfermeras (Nurses).

REPEEEEEEEATS!!!

As seen last year, we got more repeats than new shows but Telemundo doesn't let that dominate their schedule. Possible returns for the channel include Broken Angel, Almost Yours, The Son I Never Knew, Elena's Ghost, On The Other Side Of The Wall and Price Of Fame.

Super series likely to make a comeback include Prisoners Of Love, Lord Of The Skies and El Baron.

365 days a year and 7 days a week

Since its inception, Zee World has grown to be a trailblazer with their Bollywood offering. It's success further boasted the portfolio with the launches of Zee Alem and the knockoff Zee One.

Several years back, the parent company of these channels expressed ideas of launching regional channels as seen with Zee Alem and not long ago they expanded their offering in Africa.

Zee Alem caters for Ethiopians and seeing that Africa is a diverse market perhaps we could see more of this in Portuguese, French, Zulu and Swahili speaking markets.

While MultiChoice Portuguese section remains as an Iceland. Indian subscribers got WION and Zee Cinema perhaps we could even see channels like Zing or Zee One make their way to the platform.
