South Africa Rise As TLNovelas Becomes TLRepeats Later In November As Most Of The Shows Finish Their Run + Someone Might Be Working To Get It In High Definition

Image
Similar to StarTimes that restarted Timeless Dizi Channel, TLNovelas is seemingly hitting the rewind button on weekdays later in November when The Power Of Destiny, The Tempest and My Sweet Curse reach their climax. Earlier this month,  A Shelter For Love was set to make its debut only for viewers to awaken to extra repeats for My Sweet Curse which led the speculation that the channel was a gonner like EVA. One thing for certain it doesn't look like the channel is ending as MultiChoice is seemingly testing out another version possibly an HD or Portuguese feature with no indicator on whether it's applicable to viewers outside of South Africa. TLNovelas has been having signal interference for DStv viewers in South Africa for literally a year with no help from customer care a years worth of programming went down the drain - hopefully that matter is resolved now that most of their lineup is repeats. The following shows confirmed for the channel in the month of November incl

With Turkish Fanfare On The Rise, Could e.tv Or Timeless Dizi Channel Pick Up This Historical Drama, The Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem?

Image
In a short span of time Timeless Dizi Channel (TDC) and e.tv managed to win the heart of viewers with their dedicated selection of Turkish shows which makes it hard to decide which brand does it better. TDC brought shows such as Karadayi, Bana Sevmeyi Anlat (Wings Of Love) and Al Yazmalım (The Red Scarf) while e.tv brought shows such as Paramparça (Broken Pieces, Gebroke Harte), Kara Sevda (Dark Love, Bittersoet) and Elif. Both offered series such as Kuzgun (Voelvry) and Kurt Seyit & Shura but which one of these two will be first to air The Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem (Magnificent Century: Kösem)? Muhteşem Yüzyıl: Kösem, recounts the life of Mahpeyker Kösem Sultan, a slave girl who became the most powerful woman in Ottoman history after she was captured and sent to the harem of Sultan Ahmed I. The series stars actress Nurgül Yeşilçay, Beren Saat and Anastasia Tsilimpiou who portray the titular role in three different ages of her life, while actors Ekin Koç, Boran Kuzum, Taner Ölmez,

November 2021 On Comedy Central Africa | Two New Series With One Being For Stand-Up Comedians | New Seasons Of Several Shows Including Impractical Jokers And The Daily Show | More

SEASON 9 & 10 WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY? WEEKDAYS FROM 3 NOVEMBER @ 21:30 Aisha Tyler hosts this skit comedy show where the actors on the show, usually Wayne Brady, Colin Mochrie, Ryan Stiles and another guest star or two do different comedy skits. It's all improv and made up on the spot. SEASON 21 JUST FOR LAUGHS GAGS WEEKDAYS FROM 17 NOVEMBER @ 21:30 There's no sound, but there sure are plenty of laughs. This crazy Quebec-based troupe uses the city as its stage, and its inhabitants, or victims, as characters! People are caught in a twisted yet funny web of comedic deception. This updated "Candid Camera" is a tad more risque and a little kookier with its practical jokes. The little snippets last only a few minutes, and some look more painful than others. SEASON 13 IMPRACTICAL JOKERS WEEKDAYS FROM 29 NOVEMBER @ 21:30 Q, Sal, Joe and Murr are real-life best friends who love challenging each other to the most outrageous dares and stunts ever caught on hidde

Back By Popular Demand Nobody Knows As Zee Bollymovies Might Be Making A Comeback On DStv Under The Name Zee Cinema

Image
MultiChoice has started testing out another Indian channel which is none other than the Zee Cinema channel or as you put it Zee Bollymovies main counterpart as two films from Zee Enterprises has been added to the lineup which are Mitron and Rock On. That's not the only channel coming from Zee Enterprises apparently MultiChoice in SA will be adding the Indian news channel WION to the lineup meaning the Zee supremacy lives on. Zee Bollymovies launched in March 2017 on DStv and lasted a year . Of course no reason was given as to why the channel was removed but it's main counterpart Zee Cinema has been operating for a while on StarSat. One of the likely reasons this channel is launching could be due to the massive loss of several international channels on the platform so Zee Cinema could have been the last alternative. Zee Bollymovies launched on channel 114 so it wouldn't surprise me if the main counterpart occupied channel 113 seeing that KIX took up it's previou

The brand finally gives their channels some fresh content with the introduction of the new family drama Wrede Stad. Wrede Stad (Zalim Istanbul) follows the life of Seher and his children. When Seher and Agah make an encounter, the lives of their families become complicated as tension and scandal arises between the two families. The series made its debut in the fall of 2019 and became one of the most talked about shows in 2020 with their stellar cast and performances. The series was produced by Ay Yapım. Ay Yapım offered shows already seen on Dizi and eMedia such as Karadayi, Stiletto Vendetta, Elif, Kuzgun (Voelvry), Impak, 8th Day and several others. Wrede Stad replaces As Die Skoen Pas weekdays at 19:30 on eExtra from Monday 1st November. As

M-Net's New Additions Me Will Also Offer Local Content, What Possible Implications Could It Have An Impact On Mzansi Magic And Mzansi Wethu?

Image
M-Net Essentials (ME) joins the DStv family from 1st November on channel 115 as a replacement for both M-Net City and VUZU featuring a variety of reality and drama series alongside movies. As stated earlier by MultiChoice, Me will also be used for all the local content coming to M-Net such as The Bachelorette SA, Lioness and the first season of M-Net's popular local drama, Legacy. Usually when M-Net or 1Magic pick up local content. They usually shove the reruns on Mzansi Magic and Mzansi Wethu. With Me, taking up the responsibility of not only the international but local aspects of M-Net. It wouldn't make any sense for all these shows to play on Mzansi Magic. Mzansi Magic is a Compact channel that is higher than a Family channel which is where Me resides so it seems only logical for all these local shows on Me to skip Mzansi Magic and move over to Mzansi Wethu where viewers aren't familiar with the programs to avoid tension between customers. Mzansi Magic is already ha

Africa: Why The ACME (Night) Block Will Likely Launch Cartoon Network With Cartoonito Relaunching On Boomerang?

Image
Earlier this year, WarnerMedia announced plans to expand their kids offering across their brands to include programs for preschoolers, girls and families. A month ago, they unveiled preschool and family content in the form of a programming block on Cartoon Network called Cartoonito and ACME Night (respectively) featuring a variety of content from their archives and other studios. ACME: Batman: Caped Crusaders, Gremlins: Secrets Of The Mogwai and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal Cartoonito: Little Ellen, Batwheels and Bugs Bunny Builders Cartoonito which is adapted from WarnerMedia in Europe has started taking swing internationally while ACME which is likely from the fictional company originating in Looney Tunes cartoons hasn't started as of yet. While Cartoon Network in the United States got both these brands sharing occupying the space on their channel. It's possible that Cartoon Network in Africa will only pick up ACME leaving Boomerang with Cartoonito. ACME on Cartoon Networ

TLNovelas Remains Silent As A Shelter For Love Becomes A No Show And My Sweet Curse Gets More Airtime + See What MultiChoice Say About The Supposed Pop-Up Channel

Image
TLNovelas was originally scheduled to close on DStv by the end of August but didn't apparently the reps at MultiChoice stated it's not a pop-up which means that tvN , Dizi and ZooMoo were just a piece of meat. On top of not being a pop-up as advertised last year , TLNovelas failed to air A Shelter For Love as promised but instead chose to screen different episodes of My Sweet Curse in as follows (in CAT): Episode 37 & 38 air at 6:35 Episode 47 & 48 air at 9:45 Episode 57 & 58 air at 12:55 Viewers reached out to MultiChoice and StarTimes for an explanation but neither had a response to why TLNovelas airs 30 episodes of My Sweet Curse a week and why the channel fails to update their schedule to not list A Shelter For Love. Viewers started showing concerns for the brand worrying that it might booted like EVA and FOX Life which both offered a schedule packed with repeats before their closure within the 2020/21 period. Firstly, the channel hasn't star
