Development Alert: Telemundo Africa To Halt Production Of New Content In The Coming Months For More Rebroadcasts

Telemundo is a general entertainment channel that is currently distributed by NBCUniversal and home to Spanish language entertainment dubbed in English. The channel has garnered popularity for shows like My Heart Beats For Lola, Lord Of The Skies and Nurses.

It's popularity is what led to additions of Zee World and Star Life which boast a selection of Bollywood films and series and several years down the line an alternative/rival brand based in Mexico boasting a similar offering to the channel, TLNovelas.

For almost a decade, Telemundo has been going through several hurdles with their primetime schedule. At launch, they featured 4 shows and later could expand to include 2 shows. Fast forward to 2023, Telemundo doesn't have enough content to fill up their schedule.

Nurses is scheduled to end sometime in July while as other platforms such as their Passionistas Group on Facebook plans to broadcast the classic Land Of Passions. Those using DStv and GOtv are expected to embrace for the worst in the coming weeks.

According to sources, Telemundo will be airing rebroadcasts of False Identity, Operation Pacific and The End Of Paradise later in July in place of For Love And Justice, Queen Of The South and Nurses which will join the current rebroadcast of Lord Of The Skies.

This is probably the worst thing to see from the channel especially with their 10th year anniversary in August. But this might have something to do with the writer's strike in the United States if not a much bigger reason for the channel to become another rewind channel.

As mentioned, this has been a tradition for the channel so much that consumers wouldn't really be shocked if the brand were discontinued. On the basis of new content, Telemundo is awaiting on new seasons of Lord Of The Skies and Queen Of The South.

As for new content, the channel is rumoured to be rolling out Game Of Lies alongside another show which is awaiting confirmation.
