TLNovelas Africa Makes More Adjustments To Their Lineup + The Indian Uprising On DStv, Openview And Starsat Includes Channel Closures And New Content

Image
TLNovelas makes more schedule changes From November 8th, TLNovelas stopped airing content in the form of a double bill meaning Crown Of Tears, Rode To Destiny, I Dare You To Leave and Fooled Into Love air once a day with omnibuses taking up the slots A Rose Of Guadalupe once occupied. Viewers are still awaiting on news regarding A Shelter For Love now they have to deal with the fact that they're missing yet another show from their lineup. As usual the channel doesn't specify the reasons for the change or whether A Rose Of Guadalupe will return in its weekend timeslot or whether they don't see that timeslot viable for new content. Now that the schedule looks like that of Telemundo at launch. It wouldn't be surprising if they joined that station alongside Zee World and switched to 7 day viewing. More beef on Glow...seems likely Glow TV and Sony Entertainment India formed somewhat a partnership where Sony would lend their content to the SA brand but that might not

Amidst Boomerang's Demise In Latin America For Cartoonito, WarnerMedia EMEA Still Silent On The Brand's Presence In Africa Stacks Up Their Preschool Offering

Image
Cartoonito has started showing its effects internationally following its launch in the United States. Asia is set to launch the brand on Cartoon Network while Latin America uses the spot once occupied by Boomerang . WarnerMedia EMEA has expressed desires to build up their preschool offering as they've been sourcing out original content. It will likely become a channel should it start out as a block seeing that the company plans to have at least 50 preschool series within the next 2-3 years. Here's a list of programs set for Cartoonito: Originals Little Ellen Batwheels Bugs Bunny Builders Tom And Jerry Time Unlimited Squirrels The Not-Too-Late Show With Elmo Bea's Block Mecha Builders Acquired Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go Silly Sundays Ladybird Lu Dylan Odo Acquisitions or repeats from Boomerang Yabba Dabba Dinosaur Moley The Happos Family Dino Ranch Grizzy And The Lemmings Masha And The Bear My Little Pony: Pony Life Pat The Dog Moka's F

It's An Indie Extravaganza: Viewers Should Be On The Lookout For The Following Series On Zee World, Zee One, Star Life And eExtra + Possible New Channel For Openview

Image
To think all this started when Zee Enterprises was working to expand their offering onto DStv only to tag StarSat and Openview for the ride with the launch of Zee One . At the moment, India's content is overcrowding the linear space in Africa. It shouldn't pose much of a shock seeing that most International content is heading for streaming so these cable providers had to find the next big thing. Good news for viewers would be that these stations bagged more content to keep their lineup occupied: Zee World has Guddan (Guddan Tumse Na Ho Payega, currently seen on Zee One) airs from 18 December, I Do! (Qubool Hai from eExtra), 7 Bridges To Cross (Satrangi Sasural), Imperfect (Hamari Bahu Silk) and the second season of Get Me Married (Maala Saasu Have). The duplicate Zee World channel aka Zee One will soon air Fear Files, The Baker's Table and Grand Trunk Rasoi. By the grace of the almighty, repeats won't be the only thing coming to Star Life. They have one new seri

Telemundo Africa Starts 2022 Off With A Reboot Of Where Is Elisa? Which Is Referred To As The Search For Frida

Image
11 years ago, Telemundo did a remake of the Chilean telenovela Where Is Elisa? (¿Dónde está Elisa?) now the channel thought it would be wise to do another remake by changing the name of the lead to Frida. The Search For Frida (Buscando A Frida), revolves around a family whose lives have been turned upside down when a family member goes missing around someone's birthday. The family discover hidden truths about each other as well as the lead. The second remake stars Eduardo Santamarina, Ximena Herrera, and Arap Bethke. For those who haven't seen Telemundo's first remake or the origin have a bask in the drama. Even though, the concept is nothing new all have managed to make some minor adjustments take for instance Love And Betrayal (Gavilanes) and A Passion For Revenge (Tierra De Reyes). Both shows three male and female leads while one had their characters find their perfect match as AA, BB, CC the other had AA, BC, CB. The only thing that further distanced these shows

Could Zee One Launch On MultiChoice's DStv Despite Zee World's Existence On The Platform? + Possible Launch Date For Zee Cinema And WION

Image
In September, WION let the cat out of the bag by announcing their presence through the pay-tv giant in October only for it to be a no show thereafter MultiChoice tested out what appeared to be a Indian movie channel which was confirmed to be Zee Cinema . Two months later, Zee Enterprises unveiled Zee One alongside 2 other channels for StarTimes and Openview but of course the latter coming to DStv weren't part of this ring of announcements. It seems odd how Zee TV's presence was uttered for DStv and a month later a similar report surfaces but for customers on Openview and StarTimes. Is it possible Zee One has some involvement? Maybe its coming to DStv alongside the two other channels. The idea seemed far fetched seeing that Zee One is a repeats channel for Zee World on top of that the content is very accessible across Africa but it's been proven on several occasions that none of it matters. MultiChoice already supply a handful of rerun channels including Mzansi Wethu,

StarSat Adds C12 TV To Their Portfolio

Image
Amidst the losses of several international premium channels including Fine Living, Discovery Family, Real Time and ID from Discovery Inc alongside FOX from The Walt Disney Company. StarSat hasn't shown much effort in sourcing possible replacement channels as promised or better yet there hasn't been any memorable additions recorded this year. C12 TV happens to be a progressive docu-tainment channel offering history, empowerment entertainment and lifestyle happens to be the first in a long while. As usual StarSat doesn't provide much details on the content that will be seen on the channel. Based on what's stated about the channel, this could serve as a replacement for Smithsonian Channel. Zee Enterprises recently unveiled a set of channels coming to StarTimes and other platforms with Zee One being the newest addition to the portfolio. You can find me on Twitter , Instagram and Facebook . Read Also: - Could C12 TV be the vocational channel they were hyping about?

As Predicted, Boomerang's Days Are Numbered As Latin America Replaces Converts The Channel To Cartoonito, Could This Be The Future Of Boomerang In Africa?

Image
Cartoonito launched in the United States later in September offering a wide range of animation such as Little Ellen, Lucas The Spider, Mush Mush And The Mushables and Thomas And Friends: All Engines Go. Since the launch, there's been a lot of commotion over the brand's future internationally as Boomerang in some territories include preschool content in their family lineup and it looks like we finally got our answer. In Latin America, it was announced that Boomerang would be replaced by Cartoonito from the 1st of December which seemed odd as the brand was originally scheduled for launch in 2022 now that changed. Anyways the Boomerang channel in Latin America had been falling on troubled times those who've lived to tell the tale remember WarnerMedia's constant efforts to lure viewers. What started as an animated TCM grew to become another Disney Channel only for to align it with the rest of the world. It seems likely that WarnerMedia in most markets will eventually fo
