TLNovelas debuted in the market two years ago in Africa's pay-tv giant DStv managed entirely by MultiChoice and has since then (re)introduced audiences to shows Along Came Love, Head Over Heels, Secrets At The Hotel, Keeping My Family and several others.
Since then the channel has made some rather bizarre and unusual changes to their lineup by scrapping the double bill offering for a format that was once retained by their American rival, Telemundo.
Several shows were planned for the channel in which some were fortunate to rollout at a later stage while others supposedly scrapped. So we look at what the channel has in store for the coming future.
Please note part of this list came from the scrapped portion while others form part of their current lineup.
