Could Timeless Drama Channel Be The Reason FOX Life Africa Scrapped Turkish Telenovelas For Mexican Telenovelas

Just as you thought the Disney owned channel FOX Life couldn't shock you any further they just did. By introducing four new telenovelas to customers across Africa.

The bad part about this is most of Africa excluding Southern Africa have seen all these telenovelas through their local stations or through StarTimes/StarTimes even the Turkish soap operas that came on this channel at launch were also repeats from various other African markets.

When news spread over these new telenovelas, FOX Life recieved mixed reactions from viewers demanding answers on the fate of Turkish telenovelas they left on a cliffhanger since during the redundant channel 3 years they've only been repeating past seasons of these shows without airing new seasons.

It's possible that Turkish programming has been scrapped entirely for this station so the likelihood is that it has something to do with the long-awaited channel Timeless Drama Channel (TDC).

The Turkish channel announced back in 2018 which is set to launch in South Africa as mentioned in SPI International website even though no official launch date has been revealed it's possible that the channel will debut within 2 years in this market.

While viewers had to wait for the channel FOX Life offered this lineup for a short while and constantly repeated the programs with no additional programs. Back in October 2019, they scrapped these telenovelas from their lineup only to revive the lineup with the same hot mess later in March of 2020.

Now they scrap it and silently added for Mexican telenovelas from a Disney inspired company Televisa. For a channel like FOX Life the name doesn't suit the channel you're better off changing it into FOX Drama(tic).
Timeless Drama Channel is set to launch in South Africa with a ranch of telenovelas and movies both of which will be viewable in HD. If you're living in South Africa you can find Turkish programming dubbed in Afrikaans through e.tv and eExtra.

Welcome To New Delhi High Society And It's Leading Ladies Coming Soon To Zee World

It’s not easy being rich, and if that sounds elitist, that’s because the upper echelons of New Delhi society aim to be exactly that.

Ten wealthy ladies who don’t shy away from the public eye will let the cameras into their mansions, chateaus and villas and prove that there’s so much more to their lives than just Balenciaga, Versace and Dior – even though designer handbags are a girl’s best friend, after diamonds, of course.

If you love The Real Housewives franchise (and we know you do), then these Delhi Darlings will deliver just the right amount of spice, shade and scandal all the way from the shores of India. These are your darlings, darling.

Who are the ladies
White and gold are Puja Dua’s signature colours, so much so that her entire house is adorned and decorated in those hues.
You will never, ever catch Shalu Jindal re-wearing clothes. She will never be caught dead in an outfit that she’s been seen in before.

Guneet Virdi is an award-winning make-up artist who is as particular about the people she sips sangrias with as she is about which A-lister wedding deserves to be graced by her presence.

Your social event is a failure if the invite list does not include Deepshikha Lungani, who once won the Glamour Mrs India contest. No self-respecting events planner would dare not include this runway queen.

Sona Sharma is a businesswoman and proud owner of a beauty salon. This glamorous grandmother (glammy) is a cancer survivor and because of that, she lives life to the fullest and is unapologetically herself.

Reena Mittal owns an automobile company and loves hosting car showroom events. She’s a fitness bunny and believes in helping others make good sartorial choices.

Seema Gumber owns an events company that caters to India’s high-profile functions and considers herself to be an alpha female.
Rashmi Sachdeva is a former beauty queen who mentors and judges pageant shows.
A fashion designer by profession, Pragati Nagpal loves Indian ethnic wear and her brand creates such apparel.

Shaloo Jindal loves all things stone – with carats obviously! Her favourite sound is listening to her Louboutin heels clicking on the jaw-dropping glass staircase she installed in her mansion.

Delhi Darlings starts on Saturday 18 April on Zee World (166) at 17:00
