Telemundo Africa Debuts The Much Anticipated Medical Drama Nurses, Major Blows On SABC 3 As The Telenovela Bonanza Comes To An End And Novela Magic Broadcasts A Repeat Of Ajoche

Telemundo becomes a medical center

Several weeks ago, I unveiled a set of programming for the channel and Nurses is the second show to make the list. Can't say I'm entirely surprised as a portion of their lineup can be predictable at times.

María Clara González works as head of nurses in one of the most recognized hospitals in the city: the Santa Rosa. Life would seem to smile at her were it not for the monotony into which her marriage with Román has fallen, with whom she has two children.

The series was produced by RCN Television the same company that brought Law Of The Heart last year and also in charge of the upcoming series set to air on the channel Coffee With A Woman's Fragrance.

The series airs daily at 22:00 CAT from 15 February replacing 100 Days To Fall In Love.

The Soapy FanFest is over for now

Last year, S3 unveiled another design for their brand and invested in more international content. At the time, the SABC had stated that there were uncertain if these new changes will have a positive effect.

So far none of their efforts seemed to be working out. Through 2021 ratings stats you can clearly see that viewers aren't paying much attention to the primetime offering aside from The Estate which is likely a gonner.

S3 also offered two telenovelas Orphan Of The Nation and The Red Room both of which are being seem to be sharing the same casket as the local drama as both slots will soon be occupied by sitcoms.

The Red Room concludes next week Tuesday with Jim Carrey's comedy drama Kidding taking up the space. The series follows follows Jeff Piccirillo, aka beloved children's television presenter Mr. Pickles, appreciated by children and parents alike.

We've got some more African telenovelas coming up

Novela Magic, Africa's first and only telenovela channel featuring content viewed on other M-Net channels in several markets is adding another series to their schedule in the coming weeks, Ajoche.

Produced for Africa Magic by young Nigerian producer Mr. James Omokwe, Ajoche opens up with the Idoma village of Ocholuje and the everyday business of palatial living. When the beloved wife of Ocholuje’s King Odaleko is brutally murdered while pregnant, his grief drives him to wipe out the entire neighboring land of Aboh in a genocidal massacre.

Ajoche features Big Brother alumni Bassey, Tokunbo Idowu (T-Boss) and Lilian Afegbai. Other cast members include industry veterans Hilda Dokubo, Femi Branch, William Benson, Lota Chukwu, and a host of others.

The first season airs daily at 21:00 from 11 January replacing Battleground.

SPI International Expands Its Offering To More Homes In Africa + Several Cancellations On The Cards For These Series On M-Net, SABC And BET + MultiChoice And Televisa Make TLNovelas A Permanent Channel

"Still making money move", Cardi B

SPI/FilmBox and AXIAN Group are pleased to announce a brand-new distribution deal that makes four channels from SPI’s portfolio available in #Madagascar, #Comoros and #Togo through #TelmaTV and #TogocomTV. The viewers will be able to access FilmBox Africa, FilmBox Arthouse, DocuBox and FightBox in the Premium package.

According to a since deleted source, Timeless Dizi Channel will soon be made available to Zuku TV. The channel was scheduled to launch this month.

Another one bites the dust

South African television primetime could likely claim two more TV victims with the cancellation of the telenovela Legacy on M-Net at 19:00 after two seasons that might very well be followed by the axing of two other local weekday telenovelas, The Estate on SABC3 at 19:00 and Isono on BET (DStv 129) at 21:30.

Both The Estate on SABC3 getting a months-old rebroadcast on SABC1 to try and lure more viewers, as well as Isono on BET, have co-incidentally been produced by the same production company, Clive Morris Productions, and neither have yet been renewed for a second season.

The SABC didn't respond to multiple media queries made over the past week about The Estate and why it hasn't been renewed yet.

Ratings kept falling for The Estate in the tough timeslot reaching only a measley 286 902 viewers during primetime at most on SABC3 during October in the 19:00 timeslot. On SABC1 older episodes of The Estate as part of a repurposed rerun averaged 2.3 million viewers in October.

The Estate that was never a viewership success for SABC3 plunged further in the ratings race and suffered further damage after e.tv launched its House of Zwide earlier this year in the same competitive timeslot.

At a recent red carpet wrap party for Isono neither Clive Morris Productions nor ViacomCBS Networks Africa wanted to say a word about a second season that had also finished production on the first season.

Asked if Isono is cancelled as BET's first locally-produced telenovela, Monde Twala, senior vice president and general manager for ViacomCBS Networks Africa didn't give a specific answer but said "BET Africa remains committed to make significant investment into the local production industry, the launch of our first star-studded daily drama format Isono has been popular with viewers across the continent".

"Africans are among the most devoted and enthusiastic viewers of daily novelas and we are honoured to be a part of this long tradition of true local storytelling."

"We continue to focus on providing audiences with jam-packed locally-brewed content, celebrating black culture and authentic storytelling."

"There will be a number of game-changing announcements for the channel as we get into the new year and we encourage our viewers to keep tuned in for the latest in upcoming local content."

TLNovelas reaches new heights

Tlnovelas, the home of thrilling Mexican telenovelas which launched as a pop-up channel on DStv last year, is now a permanent channel on DStv.

The channel, which remains available on DStv Premium, Compact Plus, Compact and Family, has also been revamped to include bigger, better, premium content and a Portuguese audio option.

SABC 1 Will Start Airing Reruns Of The Estate Following The Soaps Terrible Performance On SABC 3

Thanks to TVSA, we got confirmation that SABC 3's local soap opera, The Estate will start from scratch on SABC 1 from Monday 6 September at 19:30.

This comes as the show's viewership continues to plummet following the success of e.tv's new soap, House Of Zwide last month.

SABC 3 has been struggling to pull in viewers for over a decade and it looks like the SABC is starting to catch a wake-up.

Many parties purpose that they turn SABC 3 into another Encore channel with content moving between SABC 1 and 2 or close it off the channel now that they're planning to launch more channels but that ain't happening anytime soon or at least for now.

The Estate seems like a very promising successor to Isidingo but the problem here was the station. Like TVSA said, it should have never aired there in the first place now you see the consequences of SABC's actions.

"Producing a daily local show takes huge amounts of money so it needs to be on a channel with a consistent and higher viewership to pay the bills.", says TVSA.

That's why The Estate is starting from scratch on SABC 1 with new episodes continuing on SABC 3.

TVSA does give a lot of good and similar suggestions for the SABC:

1. SABC1 needs the content. As many of us have expressed before, the current SABC set-up doesn't make sense because there are three channels, there's not enough new content for all of them and S3 and SABC2 are constantly being hijacked for sport. It would make things so much simpler and more financially viable if S3 became the sports channel with a distribution of its content between SABC 1 and 2.

2. A reinvented Expresso could move to 1, Afternoon Express and the wildlife shows could move to 2 and the internationals would be later at night on either.
