New Channel Alert: TLNovelas Coming Soon To DStv?

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 (The Two Lives Of Estela Carrilo) and Mi Corazón Es Tuyo (My Heart Is Yours). So if these operators were to do away with FOX Life viewers will have to wait a while till all the Televisa soaps on FOX Life eventually make their way to the TLNovelas.

TLNovelas will be a rival to existing telenovela channels on the DStv platform such as Telemundo and Eva which has been bombarded with repeats for a while now. It won't be long till this channel joins the other channels with repeats.

My presumed guess would be the channel occupies Eva and it's sister channel Eva+ on channel 143 or perhaps it takes up FOX Life on channel 126 or takes up channel 128 where WWE used to be till it gets shoved to channel 236. Right now it's too early to tell with all the changes occurring on DStv.

The questions remain:
- Is the channel's presence on DStv real and if so what position does TLNovelas have, what will happen to FOX Life after its launch, will it launch as a new channel or a replacement for Eva+ (repeats channel) or FOX Life (airs soaps from Televisa)

Update: 14 September until August 2021

The Candidate Has Been Delayed Indefinitely On FOX Life

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 a challenging year for cable with all these delays and temporary shutdown of content how can businesses manage to keep viewers occupied for this long.

Yu-Gi-Oh 5d Coming Soon To SABC 2

SABC 2, the only channel from SABC airing anime at the moment is introducing a new anime called Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's from the popular franchise Yu-Gi-Oh.

The show is set in the distant future, where the upper class population live in Neo Domino City (New Domino City in the English version) and the lower class in a remote island where Domino's sewage is transported, Satellite. Yusei Fudo, the 18-year-old protagonist, lives in Satellite and makes it his objective to reach his rival Jack Atlas, who lives in Neo Domino. The series focuses on the five Signers, people embodied with a mark of one of the legendary Five Dragons who serve an ancient deity called the Crimson Dragon, their conflict with the Dark Signers, and the Three Emperors of Iliaster.

The characters will be playing a card game called Duel Monsters. This series introduces Synchro Monsters to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. A new method of dueling exists where motorcycle-like vehicles called Duel Runners are used, and the duelists engage in games called Turbo Duels.

The series is the second main spinoff from the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise which aired in Japan from April 2, 2008 to March 30, 2011 and made its way to other international markets.

The show airs at 17:00 from 2nd September on SABC 2
