The "It's Complicated" FOX Life Africa Turns 4 In October

Image
FOX Life a channel operated by Disney, will be 4 years old from 3rd of October on MultiChoice's DStv and ODM and StarTimes Media SA' Starsat platform. The channel made its controversial African debut back in 2016 replacing not one but two channels which were FOX Crime and FX. The idea was to launch the channel as a female BET/Lifetime channel with African programming. At launch, the channel did somewhat opposite the local stuff was there as mentioned everything else not really. All the crime, action, scifi, sitcoms and animation went to FOX and with FOX Life getting reality, local, telenovelas (not Turkish) and almost all of FOX there which included exclusive content that was created specifically for FOX. At the time FOX Life pulled a large amount of viewers from my perspective I'd say 55% were females and 45% were male. In 2017, through a series of announcements and promos all the FOX originals which were canned to FOX Life moved to the main channe

StarTimes/Starsat Is Reportedly Scrapping All The Channels From SPI International

At this point in time I can also consider it a rumour but who wouldn't believe such a story like StarTimes lost the Disney Channels due to commercial issues while by blamed it on signal interruptions . Now the next batch of channels which are said to go dark on the platform are channels from SPI International. SPI International supplied channels like Filmbox (Channel 188), TDC (Channel 141), TDC (Channel 141), Gametoon (Channel 151) and FashionBox (Channel 282) now all of that is set to get chopped on Starsat (SA only) and StarTimes (ROA) by the end of August. To make it more humiliating Starsat or StarTimes and SPI International are even running a competition for one of these channels like really . Neither one of the informed the public beforehand over the status of these channels only through messaging subscribers. When a viewer wanted clarity over these channels about they all they said was "we'll make an announcement soon". There's

MultiChoice will add the South African based platform Wild Earth on their DStv platform later this month. The news was shared in one of their outlets in Africa.

On top of the reconstruction of M-Net Movies they'll also be two new movie channels making their way to the platform fliekNET (SA only) and KIX. So far only details about fliekNET have surfaced the web like the movie lineup with KIX on the other hand both MultiChoice and Celestial Tiger Entertainment remained discreet about the channel such as the channel number and the launch date as they only promised to have it available by October. KIX (as DStv website mentioned) offers the best of all Martial Arts movies. This channel promises to bring all the viewers the best scenes from all-time favourites, from Jackie Chan to Bruce Lee – the family will definitey have to dedicate a day of the week to all the action.

New Channel Alert: TLNovelas Coming Soon To DStv?

Image
At this point its kind of a rumour but it seems MultiChoice will be adding another telenovela channel to the lineup soon and it's known other than TLNovelas. TLNovelas (Televisa Novelas), a Mexican entertainment channel from Televisa which launched earlier in the year on Starsat  alongside several other channels on that platform. It's even been running on Portuguese speaking markets on DStv for years now but the rumored one is in English. The channel just like Telemundo has original programming. The funny thing is FOX Life already has Televisa soaps running on their channel so if the rumours are true how long do you suppose it will be till both StarTimes and MultiChoice feel a channel like FOX Life is no longer needed now that Televisa has its own channel in the African market for all these telenovelas. TLNovelas currently offers telenovelas such as Pasión Y Poder (Passion And Power), Teresa, Corona De Lágrimas (Crown of Tears), La Doble Vida De Estela Carrillo (T

The Candidate Has Been Delayed Indefinitely On FOX Life

Image
The Candidate which was suppose to take up Secrets at the Hotel's timeslot has been delayed indefinitely. Instead viewers will be getting double bill of Along Came Love. The reason for the delay is uncertain as the channel hasn't responded to any question regarding the status of the show. My theory would have to be that the show didn't arrive as yet and with the pandemic around these type of situations are likely to happen. Telemundo did fall victim to such situation as they were originally going to air the final season of Lord of the Skies back in June until it got pushed to September . Even Star Life was set to air My Identity and The Evil Eye till they both got delayed due to coronavirus. One things for certain, when Along Came Love ends on the channel another show which is not The Candidate is likely take it's place. This delay is bad especially for a retarded channel like FOX Life which has its history with repeats. 2020 has proven to be
