Could Telemundo air its first biographical series starting with Malverde: The Patron Saint?

Set in 1910 and inspired by real-life events, the series follows Jesús Malverde, a young man from Sinaloa, Mexico that became a legendary figure and defender of the people. Malverde had a troubled childhood as an orphan where he experienced the trials of war, danger and love as he amassed unexpected power. Over time, he becomes a Robin Hood-like heroic figure, admired by women of all social classes. However, Jesús remains tormented by his unexpected feelings for his childhood love, Isabel. As federal authorities see increasing danger in Malverde's growing power during the early days of the Mexican Revolution, it will take more than love to keep at bay all those who seek to destroy the hero known to the faithful as "The Patron Saint".

Over the years, Telemundo has passed up on several biographical dramas such as José José, El Príncipe De La Canción (José José, The Price Of Song), Mariposa De Barrio (Butterfly Of The Neighborhood). Since the pandemic, the brand has undergone some major changes the first was Case Closed (Caso Cerrado) and the second was the switch from 5 to 7 days a week.

As some are aware the brand doesn't have a lot to offer on their plate so it would be almost impossible to turn down series. Since last year, they've been distributing several content from Colombia's RCN Television such as Law Of The Heart and the upcoming series Nurses and The Scent Of Passion.

How long do you suppose it will be till this series airs? I mean The Search For Frida will end in the coming months and Case Closed is nowhere in site not to mention the super series slot ain't dead just yet as viewers are still waiting on Operation Pacific 2 and Queen Of The South 3.

eMedia Updates: What Happened To The Free 4GB eVOD Data? And Modern Family Returns For A 10th Season On e.tv

The eVOD bonanza has come to an end

Last year, e.tv launched their leaked streaming service eVOD (e-Video-On-Demand) as a so-called freemium streamer with over 2 500 hours of content at launch, including different premium subscription tiers for exclusive content.

e.tv plans to spend at least R100 million per year on creating brand-new local content for eVOD that will include 4 eOriginal series and 10 original South African feature films, and the plan is to add the streaming of live linear TV channels on eVOD in the future.

Within those strings of announcements, it was mentioned MTN consumers would recieve 4GB of eVOD data until 31 January 2022. Some people were probably not aware, thought eMedia forgot about the whole thing or it slipped their minds.

Also read:
- Doodsondes S4 airs later in the year on eExtra
- Zee One could become a Sony Channel
- New movie: Surviving Gaza coming soon to eVOD
- SABC registered three channels: SABC Parliament, SABC Children and SABC Encore
- The Carmichael Show returns to e.tv
- eVOD offers the latest episodes of High Society: Scandal before eExtra
- eToonz needs these improvements

Opinion: this 4GB promotion should have never been introduced or at least not initially as most consumers were likely latching onto the platform with that little data available.

eVOD will need to pull up their socks if they hope to reach the level of other streamers available in the market including MultiChoice's Showmax, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and soon to be launched Disney+ streaming service.

Update: the promotion has been extended until further notice.

More returning shows for e.tv

With Superstore and The Goldbergs out the window, e.tv South Africa's first independent free-to-air entertainment and most watched English channel adds the 10th season of Modern Family.

On the first episode of the tenth season titled "I Love A Parade", The family gets together for the annual Fourth of July parade where Jay acts as the grand marshal. Haley's farewell to Arvin doesn't go as well as expected and she is distracted by the return of an old flame namely Dylan. Phil and Luke want to compete in a hot dog contest which they do and win, while Claire is trained by Alex in cocooning. Also, Mitch and Cam want to show that they can raise Cal by trying to make a video to send to Pam who is in prison, showing Cal doing something new like catching a ball or knowing addition.

Season 10 of Modern Family replaces The Goldbergs at 19:30 from 6 February.

In other developments, e.tv will introduce 2 shows The Mighty Ones and The Lego City (not Lego City Adventures) to their youth block Craze and Kurt En Shura will replace Dokter Ali later this month.

Disney Channel Africa Presents an Imaginative New Kids Baking Competition Show, With Local Flavour!

“Disney’s Magic Bake-Off,” a competitive series for kids 6-14 that combines the wonder of baking with the ingenuity of young pastry chefs comes to Disney Channel this February. Whisking its way onto our screen from Monday, 7 February on Disney Channel, DStv channel 303, the show features young Peyton Bala – the 11-year-old daughter of Melanie and Zwai Bala, performing the theme song.

The 13-episode series is hosted by multitalented stars Dara Reneé (“High School Musical: The Musical: The Series”) and Issac Ryan Brown (“Raven’s Home”), who, along with Disneyland resort pastry chef Graciela Gomez, will guide kid contestants through a series of challenges and surprises as they create the most extraordinary cakes inspired by the magic of Disney.

The Bala family were approached by local production company Audio Militia, who were looking for a young female vocalist to record the theme song and someone had mentioned to them that Peyton sings.

“Her dad Zwai and I discussed with her, whether she wanted to do it, as we believe that she should only do the (musical/performance) things she wants to do, with no pressure from us,” says Melanie. They were sent the guide vocals and track for Peyton to practise, before she went in to record under the watchful eye of her dad Zwai.
“We recorded the different versions of the vocals in about 90 minutes, with the producers and Peyton’s dad there to help where needed, as she can still be shy about singing in front of people. The final product was then sent off to the US for approval, which we received about a week later,” adds Melanie.

Peyton, a wonderfully talented young girl says she’s very happy and grateful to have received the opportunity to sing the song. “I was pretty nervous but the people I worked with, were very kind and they helped me a lot. I think the show is very cool and is lots of fun," she says.

Imagination rules and teamwork triumphs in “Disney’s Magic Bake-Off,” as three teams of two race against the clock to design a Disney-inspired cake utilizing Tastemade’s – a modern media company - signature recipe videos and an enchanted pantry filled with a wonderful world of ingredients and surprises. Hosts Reneé and Brown, along with pastry chef Gomez, guide the kid bakers through a series of challenges, fun games, and unexpected twists, all designed to elevate the contestants’ baking abilities, techniques and creativity to new culinary heights. Each episode will declare a winning team to be named Disney Baking Champion. The winning recipe will become a featured Tastemade video.

Tellytrack Will Stop Airing On DStv By The End Of February And Will Fold Under The Newly Launched Horseracing Channel, Gallop TV

KwaZulu-Natal horse racing and totalisator operator Gold Circle and sports betting giant Hollywoodbets have announced the launch of Gallop TV, which aims to bring South Africans all the latest horse racing action from KwaZulu-Natal and from the global arena of international horse racing.

The exciting new high-definition sports broadcast channel will offer live racing, betting odds, race results, dividends, interviews, podcasts and play-on demand previews, which will collectively highlight all aspects of the horse racing industry.

“To sustain the sport of horse racing in KZN, it is essential to grow our fan base by ensuring we satisfy our current customers in the betting shops along with offering our product free-to-air via live streaming and satellite to our existing customers, whilst at the same time creating a potentially new market of home viewers. Hollywoodbets has once again demonstrated its commitment to sustaining horse racing in our province by partnering with Gold Circle in this initiative. Without their support, this project would not have been possible,” said Gold Circle CEO, Michel Nairac.

“Hollywoodbets is thrilled to be partnering with Gold Circle on the launch of the Gallop TV production and an exciting new website. We have developed a strong bond with the Gold Circle team and look forward to the success of this project, which we hope will facilitate the objective of bringing more South Africans closer to horse racing,” said Dermot O’Connell, Hollywoodbets Betting Operations Manager.

For the month of February, Tellytrack will remain on DSTV channel 249. However, the Tellytrack live stream on www.tellytrack.com will cease on 31 January. All viewers will be able to watch the live stream of Tellytrack on the Gallop TV website (www.galloptv.co.za) from Tuesday 1 February by registering on the site. There are no monthly subscriptions required.

Further communication regarding the options to view KZN Horseracing via satellite from 1 March, as well as feedback on the ongoing negotiations with 4Racing will be released shortly.

Racing240 launched as a replacement channel and Gallop TV is a digital service with no monthly fees. Further content on Tellytrack will be on this new service and Racing240 will likely serve as a distributor.
