BREAKING. Fox Entertainment adjusts its early primetime line-up; moves soap Pasion Morena earlier and Family Guy to a later timeslot.


Passionate and worried Pasion Morena soap viewers on Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180) who suddenly can't find their show, must not worry. Pasion Morena is still there, just at a new time since Fox Entertainment has adjusted and changed its early primetime line-up.

Viewers are wondering where Pasion Morena went but the soap is now on weekdays at 18:00 (South African time) instead of 19:30 where it used to be.

Fox Entertainment has decided to alter its early primetime line-up by swopping Pasion Morena and Family Guy because Fox wanted to move Family Guy to a later timeslot given the more adult nature of the animation show.

I'm just off the phone with Thandi Davids, the regional director for Africa for Fox International Channels (FIC), who graciously took time out after hours to respond to my media enquiry and viewers' confusion.

Thandi Davids says viewers were informed on social media and through on-air notifications about the early prime-time scheduling changes coming. ''The reason is because of a PG issue regarding Family Guy and we moved Family Guy to a later slot and Pasion Morena subsequently earlier.''

She explains that ''upcoming episodes of Family Guy is not as PG and we want to create family friendly viewing''. ''Keep in mind the consideration that we actually broadcast across Africa and are in 4 different timesones - South Africa, West Africa; East Africa. It makes more sense to put Family Guy in a later PG zone,'' says Thandi Davids.

Pasion Morena subsequently moved to an earlier time. ''That's the only reason we changed the schedule slightly; Pasion Morena is still there, just shifted to a new timeslot and that's the reason where for where the shifting came from.''

BREAKING. Get ready for jungle lust as the super steamy, weekday telenovella Pasión Morena comes to Fox Entertainment from 25 July.


You're reading it here first.

I can exclusively break the news that the super steamy Mexican telenovella Pasión Morena is coming to South African TV screens, with Fox Entertainment (TopTV 180) that is adding the torridly terrific telenovella to the schedule starting Monday, 25 July at 17:30.

The sexy soapy sudser with 185 hourlong episodes that was broadcast in 2009 in South America will run on weekdays on Fox Entertainment. Pasión Morena (dubbed into English) brims with hunky Latin gentlemen and super sexy ladies involved in all kinds of tempestuous storylines and matters of the heart. In classic South American soap style the clothes in Pasión Morena are more off than on when jungle passion soars - they even remove clothing before they start to fight.

The main characters are Morena and Leo and their on-again, off-again stormy love relationship - think Eden and Cruz in Santa Barbara - just way, waaaay more passionate. Morena (Paola Nuñez) is a young fashion designer who is betrayed by her fiancé days before her wedding. She flees and finds solace on a paradise island where she of course meets Leo (Victor González) who's mother was murdered.

Of course there's lots of jungle lust and super sexy love scenes in Pasión Morena, diabolical enemies, secret identities, Morena's ex who wants her back, family secrets about Leo's past, the powerful rich Sirenio family, amnesia, a devastating fire, disfigurement, the unscrupulous Cassandra who wants to dig her nails into Leo, assassination and all the other delicious stuff super soaps are famous for. Once the soap starts it will have an omnibus broadcast of the week's episodes on Sundays at 14:30.
